I wonder if we could have something similar to this like KGK UM and how much it would cost compared to a proper cruise missile

Roketsan MD Murat Ikinci has been explaining latest situations at Roketsan. Here are the bullet points :

1. Tayfun ballistic missile serial production at full swing. Already a sizeable quantity is in TSK’s inventory.

2. Following Tayfun Block 4’s successful testing, it too, will be starting serial production this year.

3. Addition to the UAV fired TRG122 and TRG 230 missiles already in inventory, the TRG300-ER too will start serial production and enter inventory this year.

4. In a short while we will start testing a2a missiles firing tests from our various UAVs.

5. Ramjet powered Gokbora a2a missile will be in the inventory within 2 to 2.5 years. This missile will be launched from Eurofighter, Kaan, KE and other UAVs subject to the Aesa radar being integrated to that platform.

6. Roketsan managed to reach its export target last year, that was set for 2 years from then.

7. As well as developing new technologies and weapons, Roketsan is concentrating on quick serial bulk production of matured products.

One thing I still don't get is, is "Cenk" a seperate project that is still alive or has it been absorbed into "Tayfun" and became one of its Blocks?

Gezgin will be on the deck of Tepe classes.
As well as Istif, Gezgin is the main reason they have longer VLS. Siper would only be good enough to carry any future Siper B3 so others could guide it, as Cenk-400 and FCRs simply wouldn't cut it.

This is exactly what we need Roketsan to turn Mete into:

A system like this would be the cheapest way to deal with them in long (for small drone engagement) range after airburst bullets.

It says 2000 m max range, afaik MKE Tolga 35 mm will have 3000 m range and Korkut has 4000 m range.
The problem is, not everything that needs protection from drones can fit a 35mm cannon on it, but, you can fit a 55 cm long, 12 cm high and 30 cm wide pod, for example, pretty much anything. And a pod as small as that should still be able to hold 10 Mete.

But why is the top round and not pointy? I don’t like it…
Flat-nosed, or "blunt," missile nose cones are designed to manage extreme aerodynamic heating by creating a detached bow shock wave, which pushes the hottest gases away from the missile's surface.

Blunt Body Aerodynamics: By using a blunt (flat) nose instead of a sharp point, the shock wave formed is stronger and detached from the body, leaving a cooler "cushion" of air between the shock wave and the missile body, thus lowering the peak heat load.

Especially useful when using seeker headslike IIR that are susceptible to heat.
