Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır stated that GÖKDOĞAN BVRAAM has neared a range of 100 km during an interview with Kanal 7.
GÖKDOĞAN’s range has been extended compared to the initial specifications, according to the Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology, Mehmet Fatih Kacır.
When asked about the current maximum range for air-to-air missiles in an interview with Kanal 7, Kacır stated that a range of 100 km was achieved. It is more than likely that this refers to GÖKDOĞAN as the only Turkish BVRAAM that is available, while the longer ranged and ramjet powered GÖKHAN and GÖKBORA BVRAAMs are to come later.
This brings GÖKDOĞAN to the range of AIM-120C variants, which have ranges of more than 90 km.
