Does anyone know the Range or how many Kilometers it has covered?
We know that the Kara Atmaca had a range in excess of 280km. There were rumours that it had reached 360km range.
But according to Tolga Ozbek’s message in X it has exceeded 400 km in this last test.

And as @Sanchez suggested it is on Derman.


According to this article, Mr Gorgun had already stated that Atmaca was a 400km+ missile.
This test has been carried out after this statement. So As per Tolga Ozbek’s X message content, this 400km + is no longer the maximum range.
That leaves imaginations to wander about what it can be!!

So an ATMACA-UM equipped with KTJ-3700 has reached a range over 400KM (acc. to rumours the actual range is around 600KM).

Now what can we expect the range to be for SOM equipped with KTJ-3200 :unsure:
With french engines it was capped at 250KM.

The speculated 600km offers an incredible engagement radius for a coastal defense battery. If we can also see of anti-surface/ship variant of the TAYFUN TBM too, Turkish A2AD capability will be a game breaker for all near seas. Because we all know that there is a similar breakthrough in air defense in parallel. Both in terms of system development and doctrine.

Yes, last test was announced as ~400km and this one was announced as longest distance and flight time so far so this one was 400+ km. how much further it was from last one we don't know

There's a source saying 400-500 kms with KTJ-3200S(?) but I doubt it's reliability

With full warhead or small /empty warhead reached 400+ km ? this is important
We don't know but I don't think there is any reason to doubt that Kara Atmaca can reach 400km that is well within the range estimate if you consider the differences with regular Atmaca. it has a more efficient engine, higher altitude ceiling and more fuel capacity.

I posted in the past. Kara Atmaca has a range of 500+km. It can probably reach 600km depending on flight profile, waypoints, etc.

ASELSAN's GÖZDE guidance kit became Türkiye's first guidance kit to hit a high-speed moving target.
