Images of the test shot of the Tayfun missile developed by ROKETSAN were shared by DHA at Rize Artvin Airport.

As part of the "Typhoon Missile System Development Project" of the Presidency of Defense Industries, a missile test was fired by ROKETSAN. In the announcement shared by DHA; "The domestic missile 'Typhoon' was launched off the coast of Sinop in a long-range fire from land to sea at 06.50 on the apron of the Ministry of National Defense at Rize-Artvin Airport." information was included.

We do not have reliable data on the test range, as the range emphasis stated in various news sources has not been confirmed by defense sources.

TAYFUN, which has a launcher structure very similar to the BORA missile launcher, is estimated to be in the Short Range Ballistic Missile category. At the same time, the use of BMC 525-44 8×8 vehicle as FFS (Missile Launch System) draws attention. Ballistic missiles are generally divided into six classes according to the range and the platform from which they are launched;

1. Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) is a BF system with a range of less than 300 km.
2. Short-Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) is a BF system with a range of 300 to 1000 km.
3. Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) is a BF system with a range of 1000 to 3000 km.
4. Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) is a BF system with a range between 3000 and 5550 km.
5. Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) is a BF system with a range of 5000 km or more.
6. Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM)
