EVs in stealth roles would be advantageous, no heat/IR signature from an engine, especially in cold environments. And no noise.

This is the most ridiculous comparison I have seen in a while.

Tyfun is quasi ballistic missiles that flies at hypersonic speed.

Dark Eagle is a Hypersonic glide vehicle system that reaches at least Mach 17, according to Pentagon.

This is not a comparison
I said Ground based Hypersonic Weapons in NATO
Turkiye : TAYFUN Block4 and CENK
USA: DARK EAGLE


Quasi Ballistic Missile or HGV
Although they use different technologies, both systems are ultimately hypersonic weapons

Warfare is evolving, how long until we see Turkey start to employ this meta, Turkey is well primed to be a pioneer in this.

The serial production of TAYFUN-2 Ballistic Missile and its integration into the Turkish arsenal will fundamentally alter regional military superiority

.With a range exceeding 550 km , a TAYFUN launched from the Anatolian shores could target all of Greece (including Athens and Crete), Southern Cyprus, and Israel

The missile can directly target strategic infrastructure such as military airfields in the Aegean and Central Greece, the Suda Naval Base on Crete, and energy infrastructure in the Eastern Mediterranean

Turkiye is also conducting work on more advanced versions of this missile family

Really old but classic Turkish Special Forces documentary from the 1990s:

Really old but classic Turkish Special Forces documentary from the 1990s:

Video showed only Gendarmerie Commando Units , not the Turkish Army special Forces


currently, there are 20,000 Gendarmerie Special Operations soldiers in Turkiye


On the other hand , The Turkish Army currently has 25 commando brigades
And the process of establishing 15 new commando brigades is underway to gradually increase this number to 40

40 brigades = approximately 120,000 to 200,000 elite commandos in total


That means , Turkiye has by far the most Commando (special operations/infantry commando) brigades in Europe

No European Country has more than 5-6 commando/special forces brigade-level units

-----------------------------------------------------------------
40 brigades = approximately 120,000 to 200,000 elite commandos in total

also 1.000 SAT / SAS Commandos ... ( The Navy )
also 5.000 Amphibious Commandos ... ( The Navy )
also 20.000 Gendarmerie Special Operations Soldiers


USA : 70,000 – 75,000 elite soldiers .... (including all forces)
Turkiye : 126.000 - 146.000 elite soldiers .... (including all forces)
