in my humble opinion SİPER must be identical to SM-2 MR in order to go further and add booster so that we could achieve our SM-3 and SM-6.
İf we copy Aster30 platform and if we just add a booster on Hisar O+ , we couldnt achieve SM-3 or SM-6 that are SM-2 MR with booster.

SM-2MR style SİPER and quad packed Hisar O+ should be launched in same VLS.
So in order to keep VLS dimensions SİPER shouldnt be longer than Hisar's VLS for instance 5 meters.
SM-2MR has 75 km range which is optimal for areal defence. When we create our SM2ER/SM-3 or SM-6 , we could create new VLS for air defense frigates.
Current MK41s in our ships(Gabya, Meko) have 6.7 meter length...
MDAS 8 meter length..
