Let us get few facts that are not mentioned here :

1. UAV122 is a ballistic missile. It actually loses a lot it’s speed as it approaches it‘s target. It should hit the target at a speed between 0.6 to 0.9 Mach depending on it’s angle of attack. But due to initial high speed and its small size it would be very difficult to intercept. (With an average speed of ~2.5mach it reaches it’s target under 60 seconds if it is 55km away.) Yet a good CWIS like phalanx or a RAM system should bring it down.

2. UAV122 is the air launched version of trg122 artillery rocket. This rocket has a maximum range of 35 to 40km. When launched from air these rockets travel x2 plus 10-20km ( trg230 with 70km range turns in to uav230 and have a range of 150+km. Also rampage is similar to trg300 which has a range of 110-120km. When it becomes air launched it travels 250+km)
going by this logic, UAV122 should have a max range of 80+km.

3. UAV122 is a quasi ballistic missile. It has a suppressed trajectory. It has to go up to 30-35 km altitude and then free fall to ground. So there is nothing special about it going up to an altitude of 100000ft = ~31km. That is it‘s normal behaviour.

4. What would have been more important to mention would be the very fact that this missile is now integrated to TB3, and that it can carry 3 , even 4 of them. (That is still below TB3’s max load capacity. But can it take off from TCG Anadolu with that weight?)

Yeah it can take of Navy variant has 280 payload capacity but i'm unsure if it can take off with 4 but 2 should be possible
