New Recruit
Its like RPG-7 or AT-4
No, It's not. It's an ATGM. I wrote the technical spec up there.

No, It doesn't.An OMTAS-Tekat ? For use and forget ? Should be an ATGM ? don´t a waste of Money in case for an ATGM with a Launcher ?
Is this Cruise Missile fully operational now ? Heard it was facing some problems I mean integrating it with F-16 was a problem
Where did you hear there were problems integrating with F-16 ?
SOM-A/B/B2 are all in serial production. SOM (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SOM-J for F-35 is still under development.
@cabatli_53 Bro, I'm reading rumours that the J variant of SOM will be developed into a Surface Launched missile like NSM. Do you have any confirmation
Well that is good news it was some Turkish defence page on Facebook where some Turkish guy was saying this. By the way I like the shape of your missile more than our missile but ours have more range and can carry more warheadWhere did you hear there were problems integrating with F-16 ?

First time I heart it bro. I hope It will have surface launch capabilities like JSM/NSM. It is for sure that Advertisements are being done over anti-ship capabilities of SOM-J.
Yes. Raad is a very well put together missile, but we should take into consideration the roles of both missiles are very different even though they are in the same class (Cruise missile).
Weight
Ra'ad - 1100kg (wikipedia)
SOM - 600kg (wikipedia)
Length
Ra'ad - 4.85m (wikipedia)
SOM* - 3.7m (wikipedia)
Warhead
Ra'ad - Nuclear or 450kg HE
SOM* - 230kg HE or Bunker Buster
I can see SOM-J with it's rocket booster being packed into a box launcher, like NSM. But I don't see Roketsan spending money on developing it, not without need of Turkish Navy. Though, it might be a good small size missile for OPVs with longer strike capability..MRTP-44 or YTKB
