But doesn’t that mean that we know all the ins and outs of that IRIS-T missile? Doesn’t Greece use IRIS missiles on their planes as well?
I don't think Roketsan has anything to do with the missile there, but it was rather about the "torpedo" the envelope which carries the missiles. I think the keypoints we need to study are;
-Firing missiles, allowing them to successfully leave the torpedo shaped object
-Multi-packing missiles into a torpedo shaped object (needs to wait for quadpacking first)
-40 km long communications cable for man-in-the-loop usage (would be down for 20 km in our case)
-Engagement, that would require some E/O, comms on the torpedo-shaped launcher (compact, low-cost, disposable)
Roketsan might have had some "ins" about one of these at least.
wouldnt be too difficult to swap that with AMRAAM/Gokdogan type imo.
If given a budget and contract Tübitak is capable of converting those (Gökdoğan/Bozdoğan) into nice VL-type missiles.
