The 9M96E2 is in may respects technologically ahead of the Aster 30, even though it is an older system. For example the Aster weighs 450-510 kg and has a range of 100-120 km. The export version of the 9M96E2 reaches 120 km but is significantly lighter at 420 kg. The domestic Russian version likely has better range.
The question is , Russia gives the 9M96E2 missile technology to Turkey ? NO
but 3 companies Turkish Aselsan, Roketsan and Eurosam (a joint venture company between MBDA Italy and Thales France) commenced the start of a business partnership to develop the Long Range Regional Air and Missile Defence System which is more advanced system than the SAMP-T ( ASTER-30 )
