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

Also what does this mean in terms of progress in the projects?

A First in Türkiye: DeltaV Space Technologies Inc.’s Ramjet Engine Successfully Ignited in Mid-Air

As part of the propulsion system development activities it has been conducting, DeltaV successfully carried out the in-air ignition test of its indigenously designed ramjet engine on November 5, 2025, at the Sinop Test Center.

With this test, an important milestone has been achieved in Türkiye’s aviation and defense technologies, marking the first-ever in-air ramjet engine ignition in the country.

In the scope of the test, the ramjet-powered aerial vehicle was integrated into a booster rocket system with a hybrid-rocket architecture and launched from the ground. After the system reached the designated altitude and speed, stage separation was performed. Following the separation, the ramjet engine executed the planned ignition sequence, ignited in mid-air, and continued its flight as an air-breathing engine.

This test not only strengthens our country’s capabilities in advanced air-breathing propulsion technologies but is also considered an important milestone for future supersonic air platforms.

DeltaV developed ramjet? I thought only Tubitak and Roketsan were developing their own designs.

3 separate ramjet projects damn

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

I think at the end of the video we can see the ramjet-powered aerial vehicle, after seperation from its booster, for one second.

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.
