Both are products in different classes for different purposes. Yatağan is mostly for anti-personnel use. It is a solution that is becoming a new trend among the 40mm under-rifle bomb and AT4-like rocket launchers. The aim is to use such a system not only under a rifle but also in systems such as Drone and UGV. CIDA was developed to be used in urban conflicts against very light armored vehicles or buildings deployed between advanced anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers such as AT4. The reason why CIDA is heavier is that it has a larger diameter and amount of explosives. When looking at the products close to its class and during the urban conflict, CIDA is heavy compared to the benefits it will provide to the personnel.Heavy, bulky and far too complex of a missile for urban warfare. Yatağan is smaller, can be fired from readily available 40mm grenade launchers, more of them can be carried and simpler thus cheaper to make more of.
Cida made no sense when Yatağan was already being developed.
Being able to use multi-purpose and thermobaric warhead is another important ability of CIDA.
