What is the range of the SOM J? Given that other cruise missiles in the same class as the TAURUS, Joint Strike Missile (JSM) and the SCALP EG/Storm Shadow have a range of at least 500+ km.

The range depends on the flight profile, if it goes fly low then they will never go 500km. I think they a misguiding with this, SOM missile have 250km+ range.

Firstly som j and JSM are not in the same class as Taurus and scalp. Som j and JSM both weigh less than 600kg and Taurus an Scalp weigh more than a ton they also are faster and are better against mobile targets.

if they use KTJ-3700 which is almost ready for Atmaca land version, it can reach up to 400km. KTJ-3700 is almost the same size as the currently used KTJ-3200, so I'd be surprised if they dont go this way. SOM-J should rather have 500km range to be a strategic weapon.
