TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

185.2 km is 100 nm

Either it has been tested and found to be the exact tested range; or someone is being facetious. Why else would you give such accurate and/or specific range information?
According to Murat İkinci, the missile’s motor is ready. It is due for test firings shortly.

First one is more likely. No one of us know the exact range, but it is assumed that the real range is way longer. My guess 200-220km.

GÖKBORA ile Türkiye uzun menzilli hava-hava angajmanında yeni bir eşiğe hazırlanıyor

ROKETSAN tarafından geliştirilen GÖKBORA, görüş menzili ötesi (BVR) hava-hava angajmanları için tasarlanmış, ramjet itki sistemine sahip uzun menzilli yeni nesil bir füze olarak dikkat çekiyor.

Interesting about the Roketsan’s Gokbora missiles’s range being 185.2 km.

According to Murat İkinci, the missile’s motor is ready. It is due for test firings shortly.

It would be interesting to see how it will compare to the Meteor on the Typhoons we are purchasing.

The Gokbora is to have an Aesa seeker head. This is ahead of the current Meteor specs. New Meteor to be developed is envisaged to have an Aesa seeker.

As well as being used by Kaan and Ozgur f16, it will be one of the basic weapons of the KE too.

It is the same range given when the missile first debuted. 100 nm which equals exactly 185.2 kilometers. They usually round down for brochures but someone probably converted it directly and forgot to round it

ROKETSAN Updates Maximum Range for MAM-L IIR to 40 km | TURDEF

ROKETSAN, in its updated catalogue for 2026, updated the range for MAM-L IIR glide munition to 40 km, a significant increase from the previously given 25 km.

Roketsan has updated the maximum range of Mam-L IIR smart bomb (Umtas missile sans rocket and with an IIR seeker) from 25 km to 40 km.
This puts the munition’s max range at the limit of most medium range Air Defence Systems. Gives better coverage to UCAVs carrying it.

IIR seeker will be a more expensive option. But nevertheless it‘s new range advantage can’t be pushed aside, when you think that standard Mam-L had a range around 8-16km.

I wonder how they managed to achieve such a significant increase in range.
Considering that this is a non-motorized munition, several options are possible:

1. Platform speed;
2. Platform altitude;
3. Reducing the weight of the glider;
4. Extending the wings.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the same MAM-L with a range of 8 km. Later, it was increased to 14 km. Now it's 40 km.
That's a fivefold increase!

Yeah, the good question would be to know if this IIR MAM-L can reach those ranges if launched from a standard TB-2, or if it’s only launched from more powerful plateforms, such as the Akinci and Aksungur ?

Most surely not.
