Next Year A-A Missile Gökdogan and Bozdogan will enter the Service as well Kuzgun. Also USV will enter Service.
With KTJ-3200, I think several new SOM ALCM will be produced. Instead of 250 - 300 km Range, the Range will be increased to 500 km. Beside SOM Gezgin is also needed for Land and Sea launching Plattforms.
I Think Turkey is Building Tayfun and Cenk to ensure a Regional Strike Capabillity. It can be used against military Infrastructure, Ports and other Infrastructure which is important for Energy, Transport etc. It's also possible to use against large Ships like AC, LHD, LPD. with the right Seeker...
We discussed in another Thread about necessarity of having ASBM Capabillity for TAF in the Cyprus and Aegean Theater. The french want a Base in southern Cyprus and they also sent Warships when Tensions were High with Greece. From this point of View it's likely they will send a CSG in any Event...
Relying only on AIP Propulsion Reis will be slow, the CSG for example can reach higher Speed than dived up Submarine. Were Conventional Subs can be a real Threat to CSG are in nearly coastal Waters.
Likely Different Systems will be User to attack a CSG.
After such Attack Reis or MILDEN will likely be Targetet by the Escort Ships and you can not only Rely on One Option. The Threat form ASBM could force a CSG to stay away from the Main Theater.
You can not compare UCAV like Akinci and Kizilelma with a strategic Bomber. They are foreseen for different Tasks. Bombers you need to strike Targets far away from Homeland.
You need for example Ten Kizilelma with two SOM-J Inside, the similar Attack can Performance only One strategic Bomber...
ASBM will be important to deter french Carrier in Event of an War in the Aegean and eastern Mediterran. With a ASBM barrage Turkey can hit Aircraft Carrier, LHD and LPD size Ships.
In my Opinion the Threath from France make ASBM neccasary for Turkey.
In this current Situation it's not the Time to make such a Deal with an Israeli Company. If they stop their Action in Gaza, stop the Settlement Policy and reconize Palestine. In this Case the Deal will be ok.
