It says in the tweet HARM. Where did you get Akbaba from?
Normally we test existing/inventory missiles at exercise like Efes. So it seems to me test fire. Why do we make a test exercise now. I m not sure it is Akbaba or not but I cross my fingers. Sorry for if it is wrong.

There will be no possibility of mixing it with Harm missile. The Akbaba is/will be a real monster in its own league.

Roketsan completed 68 different test campaigns in 2022 unfortunately we don't know most of them.

Yes I saw this im twitter. It was named as laser guided micro missile. But obviously this is mete. The unmanned mete launcher has 10 cells.

IIRC, back then, F35 was about to have two different designated cruise missiles within the internal weapon bay. One was the Norwegian missile and the other was SOM.
Roketsan and LM had signed a deal for modifying it to fit within the internal weapon bay. After Turkey was given her marching orders, I strongly believe, this project is dead for for a long time.

Dead on their end. We'll modify and use SOM-J in TFX's internal weapon bays.
