Turkish Missile Programs

[Eşbah]

Likely weight of the CLU included.

It seems like you're right, brother. In that case I'm even more impressed.

Is it a true hypersonic missile or Pakistan type SMASH marketing gimmick?

 

[hyperman]

Is it a true hypersonic missile or Pakistan type SMASH marketing gimmick?

Depends what you mean by hypersonic missile. Does it hit hypersonic speed? yes. Is it an HGV style hypersonic missile? no

Its a Hypersonic ballistic missile.

Depends what you mean by hypersonic missile. Does it hit hypersonic speed? yes. Is it an HGV style hypersonic missile? no

Its a Hypersonic ballistic missile.

In that case, almost all ballistic missiles are hypersonic. Modern usage only refers to HGV & hypersonic cruise missiles.

Israeli LORA is not hypersonic
Russian ISKANDER Ballistic Missile has max speeed of mach 5.9 but its terminal speed ( around mach 3 supersonic )

Iranian FATTAH-1 is not HGV
but Israel could not stop Iranian hypersonic Ballistic Missiles

TAYFUN B4 and CENK are MRBMs which will enter the atmosphere at Mach 10. Its terminal speed , before impact would be reduced close by half to Mach 5 ( still hypersonic and maneuver in the terminal phase )


No Defense System can be 100% effective In a multiple attack scenario consisting of various Ballistic Missiles like BORA , TAYFUN , TAYFUN B4 , CENK , 300-ER combined

Greece : never can stop it
Israel : might stop some of them, but it will be damaged to the point of being devastating

-----------------------------------------------------------

Turkiye's hypersonic Ballistic Missile program with a range of 2,000 km is seen as a new and critical threat in Israel.

 

[MMM-E]

2 Ballistic Missile Systems will enter the inventory in 2026


1.000+ km TAYFUN Bloc4 hypersonic Ballistic Missile
500+ km 300-ER air launched Ballistic Missile with TV camera seeker


TAYFUN B4 and 300-ER would shift the balance of power in the region

500+ km 300-ER air launched Ballistic Missile with TV camera seeker

Is this the same kind of missile the Israelis used to attack the entrances of the Iranian missile bases?

The Air Lora is a bigger missile I believe. I think only the F-15 might be able to carry it, but something smaller can be built for the F-16.

Israel used ROCKS air launched Ballistic Missile to attack on Iran
both 300-ER and ROCKS have TV camera seeker for pinpoint accuracy ( the same kind of missile but ROCKS is 1275 kg and 300-ER is 900 kg )


Israel has air launched Ballistic Missiles

AIR LORA ( 5,2 m and 1600 kg )
800 km ROCKS ( 4,85 m and 1275 kg )
1. 000 km BLUE SPARROW ( 6.51 m and 1900 kg )


The 300-ER will be the first long range air launched Ballistic Missile of Turkiye
ROKETSAN said that , there will be a bigger air launched Ballistic Missile after the 300-ER

Europe vs Russia ( Conventional missile capability )


Russia
500-1.000 km ISKANDER/ISKANDER-1000 Ballistic Missile
2.000 km KINZHAL air launched Ballistic Missile ... ( hypersonic )
5.500 km ORESHNIK IRBM .... ( hypersonic )
1.500-2.500 km KALIBR Cruise Missile
2.500 km KH-101 air launched Cruise Missile
1.000 km ZIRCON hypersonic Cruise Missile
600-1.000 km KH-32 air launched Cruise Missile ... ( supersonic )

15-20 km TOS TBS-3M MLRS
35-40 km URAGAN MLRS
90 km SMERCH MLRS
120+ Km TORNADO-S guided MLRS
120 km SARMA MLRS


Europe
1.000+ km MdcN land attack Cruise Missile
600 km SCALP-EG air launched Cruise Missile
500+ km KEPD-350 air launched Cruise Missile
2.000 km ELSA ground launched Missile ( under development )

40 km RM-70 MLRS
150+ km THUNDART MLRS ( under development )


Overall Assessment: Can they cope with Russia?
Europe's conventional Ballistic Missile system is almost zero, and efforts are being made to close this gap through joint projects like ELSA. production is increasing but cannot keep up with Russia's production rate (thousands per year)


-------------------------------------------------------------

Europe has no missile deterrent without Turkiye and USA


Turkiye
150 km J600T Ballistic Missile
360 km BORA Ballistic Missile
560+ km TAYFUN Ballistic Missile
1.000+ km TAYFUN Block4 hypersonic Ballistic Missile ( as of 2026 )
500+ km 300-ER air launched Ballistic Missile ( as of 2026 )
2.000 km CENK hypersonic Ballistic Missile .. ( under development )
1.000+ km GEZGIN land attack Cruise Missile ..( under development )
700 km SUPER SIMSEK air launched Missile
275 km SOM-J air launched Cruise Missile
200 km CAKIR air launched Cruise Missile
150+ km IHA-230 air launched supersonic Missile
150+ km KUZGUN-TJ air launched joint strike Missile
400+ km ATMACA-UM ground launched Cruise Missile

35-40 km TRG-122 guided MLRS
70 km TRG-230 guided MLRS
120 km TRG-300 guided MLRS
150 km GOKTAN ground launched SDB

Turkish Air launched Ballistic Missile range without leaving Turkish Airspace.

Inshallah we will see longer air launched ranges and higher payloads when more powerful munitions and heavier MTOW aircraft are added to the inventory.

Hi, the PAF needs to integrate this in its Mirage fleet. It will provide for a secondary standoff strike capability. The JF17 has the CM400, but it should also get this functionality. Having this as another weapon would be great.

The Air Lora is a bigger missile I believe. I think only the F-15 might be able to carry it, but something smaller can be built for the F-16.

F-15 carry SILVER SPARROW Ballistic Missile ( 3130 kg ) with range of 2.000 km

F-16 carry AIR-LORA Ballistic Missile ( 1600 kg )
Israeli F-16 armed with 2 x AIR-LORA air launched Ballistic Missiles

F-16 carry ROCKS air launched Ballistic Missile ( 1275kg ) with range of 800 km



Turkiye can develop a Ballistic Missile weighing up to 1600 kg that F-16s can carry, and ROKETSAN has stated that they will develop a missile bigger than the 300-ER

Range : 800-1.000 km
Speed : high supersonic

Turkish Ballistic Missile hits the target with pinpoint accuracy


Turkiye will become the second country in the region after Israel to have this capability, and the first in Europe, excluding Russia

With 300-ER and bigger air launched Ballistic Missiles capable of striking targets with high precision from safe distance

Air Defense Systems ( PATRIOT , S400 , HQ-9 , SAMP-T , BARAK-MX , DAVID's SLING )
Jet Hangars
Warships / Aircraft Carrier

No Navy can come within 1,000 km of Turkiye; if it does, it will be in danger of being attacked.
