They have anti-ship cruise missile but not something like SOM-J for F35, but may be I don't know.But now they have their own one!
Som was introduced by Hanwha in the form of technical cooperation to participate in the mid-range AGM project. It was planned to introduce som-b2 as a technical cooperation. However, the project was suspended. The purpose of the project was for the FA-50 BLOCK2. If the project starts again, it will be a project for KF-21. But I'm not sure when it'll start again.This is good, S.Korea was interested in SOM.

Turkiye use a different tactic, focus on cheap, small cruise missiles that could be fired in big numbers with the ones that going to have EW specific, which still could make huge issues to any air defense units. on the other hand, they produce Harop type kamikaze drones that could also go long distances. You dont always fight against the best enemies, lets say the Karabagh war or in Ukraine or in libya, cost of the missiles are also important, which is the whole reason cruise missiles are made and several times cheaper than ballistic missiles. On the other hand, Turkish sams and French sams are also designed against supersonic missiles, and France has proved its successful test. upgrading it doesnt mean you will have uper hand immediately until you get hypersonic.I always have doubts about the credibility and the effectiveness (what usually claimed ) of subsonic low flying cruse missiles even if they have stealth characteristics!
And it is becoming clear day by day in ukraine conflict how vulnerable these subsonic cruise missiles are! even when it comes to fairly old and unsophisticated air defense systems equipped with old gen pesa radar and less maneuverable semi active interceptors.
( Ukraine air defense force success rate ( which is mostly consists of buks, kubs and s300 ) against these missile are roughly 60 percent which is lot considering ukraine didn't have any modern air defence from the beginning and they received the first\ nasam battery only last month and german IRIS T SLM is yet to come )
here are just few examples.

so, anyone can estimate how bad these will perform against a state of art air defense system equipped with an aesa radar and EOTS and highly maneuverable modern interceptors equipped with active seeker or IIR seeker.
I think, ukraine war should be a worrying development for the air forces who's doctrine heavily relies on subsonic cruise missiles for deep strikes.
AND TURKEY IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THEM.
SO, THAT'S WHY I THINK TURKISH RAMJET MISSILES PROGRAMS HAS STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE AS IT WILL DIVERSIFY THE CURRENT ARSENAL AND WILL OFFER MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH THE COMBINATION OF SUPERSONIC AND SUBSONIC ELEMENTS.
After all, it seems SPEED does matter! And a supersonic cruise missile has better chance defeating AD than a subsonic one.
Note: this is just my personal opinion. Don't take it too seriously! And I am keen to hear your comments on this guys ! @Yasar @dBSPL
This is good news indeed , this means a storm shadow/SCALPE equivalent will hopefully be available for many countries who could not get the former for diplomatic or financial (mostly diplomatic ) reasons.Mr Gürcan Okumuş: "We aim to conduct the firing tests of SOM missiles, in which national components will be used in 2023. In this way, the foreign dependency of SOM missile, which will have entirely national subsystems will be eliminated and ot will pave the way for export of SOM missiles to allied countries" @Defence Turkey
Possibly an improvement on Bora (Khan) missile.Whats the Roketsan Tayfun (Typhoon) Missile System? Any idea?
Hi someone could inform us about Tayfun missile according to newspaper a test fire occured today with range 561 km and also it hit the target at 458 second.Possibly an improvement on Bora (Khan) missile.

Sorry only newspapers source exist. Actually it is a bit weird. Normally we learn this kind of event from defence forum/ site. First time Türkiye conduct a test fire above 300 km away and we learn from newspaper. Acc. to range and time its speed above 4 mach. I wish, we can know payload weight also cep value but probably its not revealed very long time.

That is an average of 3.6mach speed.Yerli füze 'Tayfun', hedefi başarı ile vurdu - Günün Haberleri
