In 2018, Roketsan teamed up with military-electronics specialist Aselsan, Turkey\u2019s largest defense firm, to jointly manufacture Atmaca, which incorporates features of the Harpoon and French Exocet missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, Atmaca was fitted aboard Turkey\u2019s fourth Ada-class corvette, the TCG Kinaliada. It was successfully tested in July 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Roketsan official said Turkey aims to save up to $500 million from the Atmaca replacement program, as the homemade missile comes in at around half the price of a Harpoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense News asked Harpoon manufacturer Boeing about the financial impact of Turkey\u2019s decision, but the company referred questions to the U.S. government and the international customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atmaca is a subsonic, sea-skimming anti-ship missile with a range exceeding 220 kilometers. It features a 250-kilogram-class high-explosive fragmentation warhead. It reportedly has a high resistance to countermeasures and features all-weather capabilities, a target updating and mission termination facility, and a comprehensive mission planning system with 3D routing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The missile is effective against sea targets in open or coastal waters, as well as against shore-based targets. During tests, Atmaca cruised at an altitude as low as 3 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be fitted aboard the Ada-class corvettes, the Istanbul-class frigates and the TF2000-class anti-air warfare destroyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Chris Martin in Washington contributed to this
