Iran has released new footage of its underground weapons depots. Numerous Shahed 136 missiles and drones are housed in the underground tunnels. It is emphasized that this is not archival footage and that the video was filmed today. Western experts believe Iran has retained at least 60 percent of its missile arsenal and is currently restoring the entrances to its underground missile cities. The history of Iran's "missile cities" began in the 1980s. Since then, the network of underground bases has expanded throughout the country. Iran's "missile cities" are known to be located at depths of up to 100 meters, making them virtually invulnerable even to the use of nuclear weapons.

I remember I talked about this in 2018, about how Turkey was catching up really fast, and a person here called Shawnee said Turkey would never be able to develop its own missile technology like we did, at least not anytime soon. 7-8 years later, here we are.
He was a knowledgeable guy. Not one of those people who talks out of his ass, but he was wrong on some occasions. I wonder where he is now. He also said Iran had nuclear weapons and we should trust the late Khamenei as he knows what he's doing.

Not every country is like Iran where a project takes 20 years to go from prototype to production, but we'll see.

A 6000KM missile would be tens of millions of dollars assuming Turkey utilizing western consultants and the western supply chain to assemble this.
Where is the engine gonna come from? North Korea had to get ToT from Russia and years of failure with Tapeodong program.
The question also is, what is the purpose of this? A conventional warhead equipped 6000KM missile is kind of useless at that cost. Who does Turkey want to hit that far away? Its rivals are Greece, Israel, and to some lesser extent Iran and Russia. Doesn’t require such a length missile to reach Greece or Israel.
Seems like Turkey may be planning to go nuclear, only reason you would want to have an 6000KM missile in your back pocket.

they haven't even built a small SLV yet, they are not building a ICBM any time soon. in my opinion.

Not every in the world is under as much sanctions as Iran is where they can’t just invest as much as other countries or starve their people like North Korea to be fair.
I do like the look of the Turkish missile looks sleek as hell not knocking the Turks at all they have been building up their weapons program nicely but I have been on the Iran kick since the 90s during Hezbollahs kick ass days so I will look and give them their nod but I think Iran will be making thei comeback sooner than people expect they will

They want to project power, but yes it will take a few more years to develop ICBM, currently Turkey has medium range missile at 2000km called Cenk and 2025 tested Tafun block 4 ranged approx 1500km. The reason like you mentioned does not make sense without nukes.
