He said that S300 etc are long altitude, therefor can not be compared to these. Seems like you are the one with reading difficulties.

Some of those poster even made by military fanboys so i don't think there is anything we can do other than to wait them to complete product and finally see test results.

Turkish missile programs are always came up with downgraded specifications at first. It is because of some company policy reasons. What Turkish industry develops are either equal or high standart (At some points) staffs When They are compared with western equivalents. I mean There is not a product or Turkish program which aims lower performance at development or final product.
To enligten some serious points,
Turkish solid/liquid fuel technology is the same quality Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene /Oleum based fuels which powers the well known Turkish missile/Rockets.
Turkish IIR technology is the same one which is introduced as QWIP detectors which only 7-8 wellknown institutes can develop.
Turkish missiles turbo-jet motor technology is the top-quality one which same Turkish institute designed/developed a new rocket motor for a European Aspide SAM missile program which enables the missile to reach %12 more range than previous variant.
At this circumstances, The size of missile will give a light regarding range and Turkish Armed Forces requirements are known for those programs. Around 15km for Low and 30-40km for medium altitude...
With all aspects from appearance to specifications, Turkish SAM programs will be an equivalent of German Iris-T SLS missiles which has a max. range around 30 km. Otherwise, A thinking like Roketsan developed a turbo-jet engine to power up Aspide missiles to reach a range of 30 km, While They will not do the same for your own programs is not make any sense...

It is said that the green tubes seen in left background of picture belong to Atmaca Anti-Ship missile launcher.
-Atmaca program was also revealed with a range of 70km but At present, It is talked about 200km.
-SOM was revealed with 100nm range but At first trials in Konya, SOM missile launched from F-4, hit the target from 245km. Other trials which missile launched from different altitudes, It was seen that Missile reaches 300km. With domestic Turbo-jet engine, The range will be increased up to 500km...
-Medium altitude SAM missiles main search radar of Aselsan called Kalkan was revealed with a range of 40km at first. Then, The secret informations leaked to media regarding Kalkan. Before media, We were informed by Kalkan projects cheff engineer that Kalkan locked the air target with a range from 85-90km in Konya. Then, Aselsan had to update their web informations and increased the official range as 60km (If you eat).

Harpy is not targeting drone. Its anti radar missile. Go make some search about it. You cant attack a target with target drone.

Sry i think we are talking about Turna and not Harpy ^^ But are they not the Same ? Why they call Harpy as UAV if it´s work like a Target Drone that Destroy´s Targets ?
Why they call it then Target ? To Search for Targets ?

No need to apologize, brother. TAI Turna is a target drone, however member Bismarck asked about what a Harpy was and Harpy is a UCAV - but could rather be called a suicide drone as it practically is a guided, slow missile with large wings.
Target drone; a drone (UAV) acting as a target itself. Useful when soldiers gets trained to use MANPADS such as the FIM-92 Stinger. As the target drone flies by the soldiers, they get a chance to practice on targeting the drone as if it was a real enemy aircraft and sometimes the drone is even engaged and thus gets destroyed. Some target drones - like the TAI Turna - are capable of dropping flares to make it even harder and more realistic. Here you can see a target drone being destroyed by Aselsan's Atilgan system:
