SOM-B1 Cruise Missile with KTJ-3200 Engine Hits Target TurDef
SOM-B1 air-launched cruise missile fitted with Kale’s KTJ-3200 turbojet engine hit the target successfully in the first firing test with the indigenous engine.

Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır shared the first firing test of the SOM B1 air-launched cruise missile fitted with the KTJ-3200 turbojet engine in place of the French-made TR40 turbojet engine. The missile launched by an F-16 hit the static target with a terminal dive.

SOM-B1 was on display during the Turkish MoD’s press meeting in front of the test aircraft of the 401st Test Squadron a week before the announcement of the test with KTJ-3200.
