Israelis claim their 5th gen Spike LR II can defeat APS.

According to RAFAEL, the SPIKE LR II is the only missiles known to have an inherent Counter-APS (CAPS) capability.

AKKOR should be tested against that too if possible.

Oh, Don't believe everything SIRPI trade registers says.
According them, BD army has 2x more rocket and heavy artillery then it actually does.

Congress supposedly approved that sale but I don't think it went through. Couldn't find the DSCA notice either, it used to be up.

Ukraine,Russia(captured pieces like the ones they gave Iran last year) may have sold a few Javelins to Turkey.Probably to study it and maybe speed up the Karaok project.
It wasnt long ago when Karaok's effective range went from 1000m to 2500m(javelin's range) all of the sudden...

That is not how it's work. Karaok's 2500m range were achieved before the war started if I am not mistaken.

Besides, reverse engineering is not that easy. Specially if you want to maintain the quality.

I said study it(and its components) and maybe use some of that to improve Karaok and test Akkor,not reverse engineer or straight copy it.The "copy paste" approach will be done by Iran in close future like they did with Spike missile.

Funny thing I noticed, apparently Javelin's range depends on the command line unit that provides the targeting data. Vehicle launched Javelins have more range, on the merit of the more capable IIR optics present on the platform.

I wonder how feasible it would be to add datalink capabilities to Karaok in order to get mid-course targeting capabilities from other platforms.

Yeah, I know that too. Newer javelins has 4000m range or something like that.

Nuh, probably not worth it.

More feasible with Umtas and Omtas.

In order to lighten the logistical footprint and ensure sufficient supply in times of crisis, OMTAS and KARAOK should merge into a single missile that can be fired from absolutely EVERYTHING. The US already taking steps in that route, slapping Javelin into anything and everything they can.
Are we richer than the US?

Whether or not the latest Javelins were used for testing is irrelevant. The updates the most recent Javelin had involve increases in range and penetration, neither of which has any effect on the Akkor's interception of them.

Which applied to the CLU(guidance computer), the missile is largely the same. Just wanted to point that out.

You're right about Akkor tho, it beats them all.

By far, easier than starting from scratch.

We're talking about Türkiye here, not China or elsewhere.
What's your point? Be more specific. we talking about karaok here.

Actually it is not necessary or true acc to me . At Libya many javelin captured from Hafter which belongs to France at 2019 . Probably some of them came to Türkiye if needed at 2019. Also if I don't remember wrongly some rumour existed also captured from PKK at least just missile.

Yes they know BM will questioned it. And asked to French and BAE. But I didn't follow more. Only French said that these given to french military base for protection purpose ... and also these missiles broken ones... May be a French and BAE member enlighten us because at a point I cant find reliable sources.
