SOM-J Cruise Missile Hits Sea Target in Firing Test TurDef
SOM-J cruise missile launched from an F-16 fighter jet of the 401st Test Squadron successfully hit a sea target in its first anti-surface warfare firing test.
The test is an important step for arming the future low-observable aircraft of the Turkish Air Force: the KAAN fighter, Kızılelma unmanned fighter, and Anka-III stealth UCAV.
SOM-J was originally developed for the F-35 JSF programme to fit inside the internal bays of all F-35 variants with a different airframe compared to the SOM cruise missile.
