Bro that is a logical assessment.
But if we play devil’s advocate, could it be because we still could not manage to perfect Pif-Paf manoeuvring in missiles and by buying or joining a co-production cycle will help us. (Both pac3MSE and Aster30-B1NT missiles use pif-paf system. With limited TOT it could be advantageous)
However, Tubitak had already tested their FYDS (Füze Yönelim Değiştirme Sistemi, as shown in below article) whereby certain technologies obtained from this system was incorporated in to Bozdogan and Gokdogan missiles’ TVC systems.
It may well be that they were not quite at a position to fully apply it in missiles. So they need a bit of quick help.
It has to be remembered that even Aster30 B1NT missile’s pif-paf system is not really effective at very high and near space altitudes. They are still working on it with their Aster30 B2 missile that should be potentially effective against 3000km range IRBMs.
