TAYFUN, Turkey’s first short-range ballistic missile, made its second test launch yesterday. TAYFUN, which has an important place for Turkey’s defense industry, successfully completed its test launch. TAYFUN is of great importance in terms of space travel as well as the defense industry. Here are the details about Turkey’s first short-range ballistic missile ROKETSAN TAYFUN and its test launch.
Great experiences to overcome the atmosphere are in the TAYFUN project!
Developed by ROKETSAN, TAYFUN holds the title of being Turkey’s first short-range ballistic missile. With its ballistic nature, the rocket can reach serious speeds on its way to the target after launch. We can give the first test launch data as a basis for this.
In our test report we shared on October 18, 2022, we included the phrase “It hit its target 561 kilometers away in just 458 seconds, reaching a speed of 4,428 km/h” for the TAYFUN missile. The phrase 4,428 km/h here actually indicates the power required to safely overcome the atmosphere.
Its small but powerful: Roketsan METE mini missile!
Roketsan METE is now in mass production! METE, called Mini Laser Guided Missile, is going into mass production very soon. Here are the details…
For this reason, TAYFUN has great experiences for Turkey’s first space travel as well as the defense industry in terms of project. Also, in the same news, we stated that during the test launch, the missile rose to an altitude of 90+ kilometers and hit its target. Let us also remind you that altitudes above 90 kilometers are considered the limit of space.
The second test shot made yesterday was made in Rize. Although no information about the test data was shared, the experts stated that the test was successful and the TAYFUN missile progressed rapidly in the name of mass production. As for the other features of the missile, we must first state that it is a short-range ballistic missile.
TYPHOON can be launched from a land vehicle. In the first test, the 8×8 BMC 525-44 military vehicle was used. In the second test, the launch vehicle is thought to be the same. TAYFUN, which offers a range of up to 800 kilometers, is literally an destroy missile. When we look at the first tests, the missile first rises to the space limit, then locks on its target and starts to go towards the target. It is stated that the climb altitude also changes according to the location of the target.
