The development of Gezgin (Tomahawk equivalent) and Gökhan (MDBA Meteor equivalent) must definitely be accelerated.
Greece is very afraid that the import of the MDBA Meteor will not only give Turkey a weapon to exert great pressure in the Aegean.
But that Turkey can significantly improve the Gökhan missile with later blocks through deep analysis and reverse engineering. Because you then have a reference model in your hands to improve your own product. Imagine Gökhan as Block II would have a range of 200 km with a real no escape zone of 100 km, Greece and Cyprus can then buy as many Rafaele and F-35 as they want as naval version as two-stage booster/ramjet missile and as A2A ramjet missile they would face unsolvable challenges for Greece & Co. As Turkey can produce more as needed and improve them with additional blocks with multispectral seekers.

Although I have not been able to verify the source, It is speculated that until the reorganization of the Syrian air force is completed, the Turkish air force will temporarily deploy 2 squadron size air force to protect and support of Syrian airspace. If this news is true, the bases will probably also be used for training the Syrian air force.

It's meaningless unless we have the quality and the capacity to counteract Israel's air force. And unfortunately we will need a decade to reach that stage.

Gökhan will have a Range up to 200 km +, Gökhan ER likely up to 400 km like the chinese PL-21.

How are they the best missiles when they are still in testing phase? Some of them isn't even made yet also bozdoğan and gökdoğan were to enter service in 2023 they are still not even serially produced.

However, these are not the real ranges, but rather the estimated ranges. The Meteor's range is also 100-+150km with a zero escape zone of 60-70 km.
If at all, you can only reach such ranges if you fire your missiles top down to the target.

But I say that with reservations, I got the information from a German fighter pilot.

You can do those kind of ranges when conditions are ideal, typically when you fly at higher altitude and at greater speed. So not always the case.

60 to 70km for a deadzone is Impressive are we counting up the AWACS support or just the AESA radar?
