President Erdogan: As the trio of Turkey, France and Italy, we will take positive steps regarding SAMP-T.
Samp-t has anti-ballistic capabilitiesWhy would we need SAMP-T while our 100km range AD missile is almost ready?
We should not be interested in SAMP-T like systems anymore but look to THAAD like systems
ismail demir said that turkey will soon develop anti-ballistic air defenceSamp-t has anti-ballistic capabilities
So do you think it is worth investing in SAMP-T when Ricketsan, SAGE, and Aselsan are working on domestic AD?There has been talk of a joint working group from the very beginning and even in these early period Turkish officials mentioned the likely partnership studies as "SAMP-T". These studies have been carried out to determine the needs of the three countries. Such a study is not done for an existing system because you cannot change the existing system according to the new demands of the countries and other two France and Italy are already operaring the Aster-30 missiles. The system mentioned as "SAMP-T" is most likely to be the newly developed Block-2 that EuroSam is working on and It is still in design phase and we all know Roketsan-SAGE and Aselsan team are developing Turkish anti-ballistic missile defence system. Otherwise, Aster-30 Blk-1 don't make any sense

Aster 30 Block 2 BMD currently under development is to have capability to stop ballistic missiles with 3000 km range.Anti balistic to 600km range balistic missiles, waste of money!
siper is far from being ready we need AA systems nowWhy would we need SAMP-T while our 100km range AD missile is almost ready?

Aster / SAMP- T air defence system is a result of 30 year R&D and innovation.. We just get first stage of Hisar family after 10 years of hard work.. Never underestimate the hard work and also never underestimate experience, it could benefit Turkey a lot. Also engaging ballistic missiles is a whole different story, I think Turkey is interested with that. Aster is a very capable missile, AD is not just about range of the missile. That is why I always feel people overestimate S400 as it has long range. Also as far as I remember either SM3 or Aster will be used in TF2000? or it will be delayed another 10 yearsWhy would we need SAMP-T while our 100km range AD missile is almost ready?
We should not be interested in SAMP-T like systems anymore but look to THAAD like systems
Since when is US selling SM3? Don't bet on it!
I am not saying that Aster / SAMP-T is bad but we have reached missile technology of similar capabilities, so it is waste of money to invest in a technology that we already have indigenously.
I thought we Turks already learned our lessons on depending, apparently not all of us.
Its far from being ready lmao It took other countries to make stuff like this 30 years siper won't be ready in ((2023))100km range missile(whatever you call it) is ready and counting days for testing. It will be tested in 2022(probably the second half). It won't have any anti-ballistic capabilities. 150km range missile is in a very advanced state. Tests are planned for 2023(probably the second half) it will have limited anti-ballistic capabilities but its main target will be air-breathing targets. Turkish anti-ballistic missile is far from completion. According to the latest info I have, it will be ready in 2027 and it will have exoatmospheric(100km+ altitude) interception capability. We are willing to cooperate for that missile but it is not a must. We want to share the burden if it is possible. If it is not we will do it on our own. Roketsan demonstrated that it can successfully control a payload in space with a national RCS system. This is a big portion of the work.
