True!
Again not very good. On the surface, the content and title don’t match.
But is it not the fact that Temren is actually a long range missile derived from Umtas and Lumtas? Were there really two different firings? Or was this a Temren missile’s firing?
Any info on target distance?
But the target is hit with close to a bullseye precision. The target plank is wonky, not in line with the parallel inflatables. If it were it would be close to bullseye.

İnfrared Seekers are not able to detect Shahed Kamikaze UAVs because their tiny motorcycle engines have very low heat signature. Our UMTAS won't work.
That's why US Army use Hellfire Longbow with microwave seekers against UAV and USV.

On the other hand IIR seeker for naval use very fragile. Sea surface can dumb seeker.millimeter wave seeker is an advantage for use in maritime environment. For example RIM 116 RAM- Levent missiles, Sea Spear, Brimstone

UMTAS also needs such mmW seeker upgrade.
TÜBİTAK SAGE was working on mmW seekers for KUZGUN and KGK-82-SİHA actually

But back to subject, low-end UAVs with internal combustion engines like Shaheed have their engines wide open and we have seen from the test with EREN that they give a good deal of signature to the IIR seeker. It is just an alternative means on the same route.

Besides, I am guessing they are waiting for a helicopter with a radar like Longbow's for a mmWR tactical missile.
