If the quoted 700km range of Süper Şimsek is true it would be "fired" from Anka-III well before it enters any contested air space so not fitting in the internal bay wouldn't be a problem. Süper Şimsek is more like a Loyal Wingman than a missile.

Sorry for that first sentence, I must have written over a previous unsent message.

Honestly as long as Europeans buys it that might even be better. It can be a "export version" while we continue to use domestic versions

We don't know but I don't think there is any reason to doubt that Kara Atmaca can reach 400km that is well within the range estimate if you consider the differences with regular Atmaca. it has a more efficient engine, higher altitude ceiling and more fuel capacity.

Yes, last test was announced as ~400km and this one was announced as longest distance and flight time so far so this one was 400+ km. how much further it was from last one we don't know
