Underlining that the Gezgin Cruise Missile
was developed with the experience gained from SOM and Atmaca missiles, Demir
stated that they plan to conduct various tests with a foreign engine but implement
the indigenous engine to Gezgin to be developed by Kale Arge. Kale Arge is
working on Arat engine as the SSB and Kale Arge inked a partnership pact in November
2021 to address the engine demands of cruise missiles. TurDef had already
released data on this engine's thrust and consumption rates.
