Bro,
Totally different technologies between the two systems.
RAM, as the name suggests is a Rolling Airframe Missile.
Because of its two axis interferometer, it needs to revolve to get the third axis when measuring radar frequency phase interference when targeting incoming threats.

According to information released by Roketsan, the Levent missile is developed by taking Sungur missile as a base. So it is a dual seeker head missile that has both passive RF and IIR.

Also our missile is 1mm wider and 41cm longer than block 1 RAM; Much narrower than block 2. It has slightly more range than the RAM Block 2 as well.
Sir, I watched the video again and around 0:49(slow-mo) the missile is clearly rolling clock-wise(looking from behind).

Pls watch 3.00 minutes +
RAM has a very different rotation to the missile we were allowed to watch the flight of. You can clearly see the antennas rotating.

The levent missile in the above video has no fins to guide it. Yet the Roketsan’s site clearly shows a missile with twin front fins. This is either a specific test missile, or Roketsan has changed the kinematics and aerodynamics of the levent missile.

The nozzle part of the missile in this video doesn’t seem to have any guidance fins either; unless they are opened some distance away. If no fins, It may have TVC to manoeuvre.

Most rockets do roll a certain amount to correct their launch azimuth. There is also a gravity turn of rockets to stabilise their flight. These two are distinctively different from each other and both are different from the rotation of the RAM.

IIR and RF guided Levent missile does not have twin antennas to necessitate a roll.

Mr. Kozan Erkan:
“@kanerkurt In previous broadcasts we did say let's do this, we really did. We can do it cheaper than Korea, Sarı Reis”

Such a deal is almost impossible, I know but, hypothetically, can our shipyards launch such number of AEGIS destroyers every year? Do we own that kind of capacity really?
Nope,
And no way cheaper than Korea. (Automation and et al.)
Korea has been the second destination for cheap construction for complex ships (such as cruisers) for a long time. They can adopt the same for steel construction of warships.
%90 of Turkish shipyards are merely a repair workshop, nothing further.
Hyundai's shipyard alone has larger capacity than entire Tuzla shipyards region.
