I was imagining AKBABA as a bigger missile, I think it has a silhouette quite close to the existing AGM-88 HARMs. In this case, there is still no shared geometry for a Ramjet-propelled anti-radiation missile.

Purely bureaucratic.Turkish officials have announced today that domestic modernization of the first F16 fighter has just been completed.
If Turkish arms industry has such capability, why did Turkey want so badly to order block-70 modernization from the US?
I've been hearing this for quite some time now but I think it's a myth. I haven't seen any official paper delineating it.Equipment bought from US cannot be modified for 30 years.

The reason why Turkey opted for the block-70 planes was due to the fact that the US refused to give Turkey the billions of dollars it invested when it was in the F35 program. Legally, it was Turkey's right to take its moeny back but the US refused and after a lot of bickering and threatening of taking this to court, the US offered the Turks to buy another american product worth the moeny they invested in the programTurkish officials have announced today that domestic modernization of the first F16 fighter has just been completed.

AGM-88E level, or even higher?Forget Harm design bro. Akbaba will be a game changer from many aspect.
AARGM-ER is what you're thinking of.AGM-88E level, or even higher?
I read years ago that the US was going to make a ramjet version of the AGM-88, I don't know if they went ahead or not.
That was my post and there's no 30 years time limit to the end use monitoring program, as far as i could see.Yeah. Gonna save that just in case.
What are the repercussions though, are these absolute? Like does it void the warranty? I mean could you realistically ignore it and live with the results?That was my post and there's no 30 years time limit to the end use monitoring program, as far as i could see.
Never seen such a 30 years regulation on official documents. Is the Turkish Özgür upgrade done with US approval? Always wondered about that ...I've been hearing this for quite some time now but I think it's a myth. I haven't seen any official paper delineating it.
