"Yıldırım" means lightning, but I don't know what difference the 'han' on the end makes. "Kızılelma" is something like red apple, which puts me in mind of the old British colour codes for missiles & the like.

The TEBER seems to be a guidance kit (INS/GPS/SAL) from Roketsan for Mk.81 and Mk.82 general purpose bombs. So it is a kind of JDAM-kit.

We can expect that together with the ASELSAN TOLUN guided glide bomb, both have the potential to become export successes.
