This is literally an international meme.
12 years ago, we were modifying ancient Hawk missiles to improve range as that was our main defense. Now high altitude, very long range interceptors are available along with more than half a dozen new AD systems.
12 years ago, our best quasi ballistic solid fuel missile had the range of 300km, and CEP of several hundred meters. Now their are tactical missiles with point strike ability with 1800km range. Today, from 300km missile, their are engines tested with thrust consistent with engines used in ICBMs.
Contrary to your believe, the last 10 years as shown very impressive growth. Enough to get some attention. I'm sure Turkish growth has also been very rapid in last 10 years so let be more respectful
