this is the mine deposits to make it probably, but its not like an iron, you need to have high tech to process and make it. obviously madacascar or Senegal not able to make it
Yes they are just the miners, there are also those who have the reserves but are not meaningfully mining it like is Türkiye. Statistics about refiners are scarse but China is the top one followed by Russia. Sponge state is ready to be melted into the ingot blank you need.

How are the national engines of domestic missiles produced?

Kale is cooking something, they are producing part of a prototype engine... :D

Kale is developing 4 new engines, 2 of them are for short range missiles. Other 2 are for long life engines, is this for UAV?

In the end he says engine for a UAV.

Havelsan and MKE seem to be the most active ones in 2025 so far, ROKETSAN is interesting as well.... roketsan hançer, roketsan şahiderya .... BMC power only has patent for Levend guess this is interesting as well

You need all the resources at your disposal to combat potential competitors/rivals (Greece, Israel, Iran & Russia) in your environment. It makes sense to promote innovation, competition and fail-safe measures; if the others fail, you have a third option. If necessary, companies can exploit synergies.

All very well. But can anyone see when the ignition video bit of the ramjet is? I couldn’t see it. There must be at least 7 different angles of the missile shooting up in to the air at different angles (3rd one looks perpendicular). But I’d be damned if I could see the ignition of ramjet engine.
Also no info if this is a liquid fuelled ramjet engine or solid fuelled??

My guesses (No insider info, simply prediction)

1-This ramjet might be using parafine-based fuel like DeltaV's rockets, I feel something needs to stand out here
2-Test vehicle appears to be 300~ mm in diameter because the booster looks kinda like the one on TOLUN-S

It would be dope to have a compact supersonic missile option developed from this, for GÖKTAN systen

Roketsan conducted the first-ever in-air ramjet firing (solid fuel ramjet similar to MBDA Meteor's ramjet engine).
Tübitak is getting close to airborne tests with its liquid fuel ramjet engine.

Given that the developer is Delta-V, I’m going to take a bold guess and say they use paraffin as fuel, mixed with aluminum or magnesium nanoparticles.

Have you got a source for Roketsan ramjet firing? That is really big !

Yes, I have. Rocketsan's solid fuel ramjet is fired from an F-16 in the scope of Akbaba project. Roketsan's solid fuel ramjet is like %90 ready. Gökbora will also progress fast both Akbaba and Gökbora use nearly the same engine. Tubitak needs some more time but not much.
