I agree.Call me pedantic if you'd like but I think these missiles need more stealth.

Show me one ground launched anti-ship missile that is being produced right now that has a lower rcs, they are all more or less the same design.In this shoot-a-cruise-missile-with-manpads world of ours, it better be.
Wouldn't hurt to have stealth anti-ship missiles as well. Modern ship radars detect submarine periscopes from 30 km's!

Upgraded Type-12 is still in development, and Atmaca is also stealthier than Harpoon but I didn't know Sea Breaker went into serial production, that's the only one I'll concede.New Type-12 surface to ship missile has LRASM like LO feature.
Also, NSM seems to be more stealthly than Harpoon. (similar to SOM)
And then there is Sea breaker that has entered mass production after receiving contract.

I don't get the stealth preaching in here for anti ship missiles. They skim the sea, which is the main way to defeat ship radars as they cant look down beyond the horizon. By the time a missile is in position to be seen by radar it's close enough that no amount of stealth is gonna hide you from those powerful sensors.
no ignition start altough time is passed and missile lost altituteWhere did you see it?
No need to bet! air launched was stated but only once (Çakır was not announced by then) So not sure if it was Çakır or something else.Who wants to bet that we are also going to get an Hava Atmaca

what is this-exocetIf you are expecting to see flame out of the nozzle you ain't gonna see one.
Also, even after jet engine starts immediately, it takes few seconds to generate sufficient thrust to keep the missile aflot. So, It will naturally drop some altitude after booster separation.
what is this-exocet
he says medium range atmaca perhaps means çakır,but air launced exocet is also medium range,you can not use booster on air launced version,although high altitute and speed advantages.
