How is this a hypersonic missile? All ballistic missiles are hypersonics. This seems to be a marketing ploy rather than a true hypersonic.

its an air defense system for ships.

Idk if its hypersonic.

They lift embargoes after developments finish. lol
I wouldn't be surprised if magically MTU engine sanctions are lifted in a couple of years. lol

I think Marine propulsion is still going to be difficult, but the good news is, you don't need 500 frigates and submarines. lol

No, not all ballistic missiles are hypersonic. Ballistic missiles typically follow a parabolic trajectory and can travel at speeds greater than Mach 5 during their descent phase, but they do not maintain hypersonic speeds throughout their entire flight. Hypersonic missiles, on the other hand, are designed to fly at speeds greater than Mach 5 while maneuvering during flight, which differentiates them from traditional ballistic missiles.

Lately there is secrecy in Tubitak-Sage projects, they never disclose.

for GOKHAN , missile launch tests were going to start at the end of 2023, SAGE fires them on F16 wing at land, first.
we can conclude that flight test starts in 2024. There is probably a seeker head change for Gokhan. originally Gokhan would carry same rf head with gokdogan but latest Aselsan magazine states that there is RF seeker head development for AA missile , this new AESA RF Seeeker should be for GOKHAN .
There are comments that Gokhan cant be tested in flight because Aselsan Murad Aesa is not ready yet. I disagree , we dont need to test the missile for max range. there would be many test , max range test can be done at the end of test campaign.

So perhaps its stil couple years away from LRIP and service deployment?
Gokhan is using similar type of seeker as the Chinese PL-15 missile.
Any clue how AESA seekers perform in homing in Stealth aircrafts?

Turkiye must develop Air launched Ballistic Missile
TAYFUN Ballistic Missile multiple confugirations to be developed including Shipborne version
Turkiye must develop 500+ km air launched Ballistic Missile to be carried by F-16 Fighter Jets .... ( based on TAYFUN hypersonic Ballistic Missile technology )
A missile similar to the Israeli LORA should be developed by reducing the length of the TAYFUN missile from 6.5 meters to 5.3 meters and its weight from 2300 kg to 1600 kg.
Israel used ROCKS air launched Ballistic Missiles to attack on Iran from Iraqi airspace
ROCKS uses a combination of INS, GPS and an electro optical seeker together with the Anti- Radiation homing
LORA air launched Ballistic Missile
with terminal trajectory shaping and a 90° attack angle
it is very difficult to intercept.
