It seems like ARES-2N (AESA ) is improved to V2 (Version 2). AREAS-2NC (Cassegrain) stays as is. Band coverage is widened and improved now it covers a wider frequency area than 2-18GHz.
All I can say is there is a lot of pointless competition and product duplication. Roketsan is trying to develop its own RF and IIR seekers(probably via Tubitak SAGE). There is Levent and Gökdeniz-ER.
I would rather believe General Director of Roketsan and Roketsan representatives than you. Bozdoğan is not a Roketsan product and Roketsan doesn't have rights and ability to make design changes on Bozdoğan because Tubitak designed it and Tubitak has the data package even if data package is...
Milden concept phase has been going on for a long time though. You can trace the first studies back to 2015.

True to some extend those SAR radars emit very little power and they have LPI capability. Anyway, enemy air-defense systems and radars will be the first casualty in a war so I don't think that is very important.
Maybe a semi-active radar-guided MAM-L might be the cost-effective solution. SAR radars light up the target and MAM-L guides itself to reflected radar signals. It will be similar to laser designators but done with a SAR radar.
The only way for BMC to lose an 8x8 contract is that they perform extremely badly at fields tests like not completing the test track. Even if BMC 8x8 is %30-40 worse than its competitor it will be selected. It is a done deal.
It is about the use of terminology. If you say Hisar-U and Siper are different that means Hisar-U fills the gap between Hisar-O+ and Siper. If you say they are the same, a missile with a different name should be at that product segment.
Turkish Rampage. It will be a great power multiplier. Fast and accurate.
Bora-2 won't be revealed in IDEF'21 but there is indeed a Bora-2. It is confirmed. Ballistic missiles might be revealed in IDEF'23.
There will be another missile between Siper and Hisar-O+/Hisar-RF
Similar to Tubitak Tozkoparan concept. I expect a missile in lines of 60k feet altitude and 80-100km range.

It will have the ability to be launched from a smart capsule(think of this as an empty torpedo) that can travel to a pre-programmed short distance and launch the missile from that spot. This will protect the secrecy of the submarine.
