He pointed out that the Songur missiles, in relation to their weapons equivalents, have a longer range.
It has the possibility of locking on the target from a range beyond the vision, and it is resistant to misleading targets (thermal balloons).
He stressed that Turkey would thus cut off its need for the outside world to secure this type of weapons.
