Hey, I'm try to figure out which air launched anti-ship missile is equipped by taf,I mean from fixed wings,can't see any clues.Only a report mentioned some F-4E had simulator attack on Ellis class frigate.

The current Som is cruise version,antiship version not in service yet.Atmaca is launched from ada class.

So maybe AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER could be used for anti-ship mission since it derived from harpoon?

TAF F-4E-2020s regularly carry Popeye-2s which are anti-surface capable, so perhaps that's what they meant.

AGM-65Gs are another good anti-ship choice if stand-off is not a priority.

Thank you for reply!
So I think their antiship mission mostly rely on FAC which would be enough more threat to Greek surface ships.Even the helo lauched Penguin MK2 is better in range than Popeye and Maverick,but it's not pratical to gather plenty amount in single wave attack.

As I remember,AGM-84SLAM can be deployed for antiship mission in CMANO,but I doubt how it works in reality.

Hi arrianos

The SLAM-ER works just fine IRL as an anti ship missile.
It sank the USS Dale in a SINKEX in 1999.
