Some details of the test;
GOKTAN system successfully tested
View attachment 761923

ASELSAN has successfully conducted a live-fire test within the scope of GÖKTAN project, marking a significant milestone in precision strike capabilities. Previously designed for air-to-ground missions, TOLUN guided munition has now been adapted for ground-to-ground engagements for the first time. The successful test demonstrated ASELSAN’s expertise in developing advanced strike solutions for next-generation battlefield requirements.

In this groundbreaking test, TOLUN was integrated with a rocket engine, allowing it to achieve Mach 1.02 speed, ascend to 49,880 feet, and cover 17.9 km. At 54 seconds, the munition successfully separated from DELTA-V rocket, deployed its folding wings, and entered its guided flight mode before striking its target with pinpoint accuracy. This achievement highlights GÖKTAN’s capability to deliver precision strikes on high-value targets while maintaining operational flexibility.

Developed under ASELSAN’s leadership in collaboration with DELTA-V, GÖKTAN system enhances precision engagement through integrated command-and-control and fire control systems, enabling mission planning and optimized firing sequences. This test validated the adaptation of TOLUN to a ground-launched configuration, expanding its operational flexibility and demonstrating its capability for long-range strikes.

GÖKTAN is designed to provide platform-independent strike capabilities, ensuring the neutralization of critical targets without requiring platform maneuvering. It supports 360-degree firing capability, waypoint-defined targeting, independent and centralized operation modes, multi-target engagement, and sequential firing, making it highly effective in dynamic combat environments. By combining precision, flexibility, and advanced targeting features, GÖKTAN reinforces its role as a game-changer in modern warfare.

ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating: “We have reached a key milestone in equipping TOLUN with ground-launch capability. As we continue to develop force-multiplier systems, this advancement enhances Türkiye’s precision-strike capabilities and expands its operational flexibility.”

We've recently obtained important information about one of Turkey's most secretive missile development projects, which is equivalent to the French MdCN.

Within the scope of the procurement of the GEZGİN National Joint Cruise Missile, which will provide long-range and depth attack capability against critical land targets, Encapsulated Gezgin Mass Equivalent Launches were successfully carried out in Aksaz using the Submarine Test Infrastructure (DATA) designed and produced by TÜBİTAK SAGE. Missile's National Vertical Launch Launcher System (MİDLAS) harmonization studies are continuing.

This gentleman here has probably hit the jackpot. That's the first official picture of the Gezgin Cruise missile.

Roketsan has revealed a completely new missile that, strangely, shares the same name as Tayfun despite having nothing in common.

Speculated to have ~1500km range.
Confirmation from Commander of the Land Forces General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu:
Tayfun block 4 will enter the inventory by the end of this year.

I want to add this, a final firing test will be done this year before the system enters the inventory.

Range isn't disclosed, but its far enough that it will not be offered for export.

kqcke for you said:
Doesn't seem any different than the normal SRBM except the size of course. What would make it now different?

It's an hypersonic missile, developed to defeat current air-defence systems, and has a penetrator warhead to bust bunkers/ hardened targets, that's all they will say on it.

Missiles can be transported and launched covertly.

Incorrect information, launcher is for CAKIR not ATMACA.

The 17th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) in Istanbul showcases the advancements of the Turkish defense industry, with the Ministry of National Defense R&D Center (MSB AR-GE) being a key exhibitor. The center, though not widely known, plays a critical strategic role for Türkiye. Nilüfer Kuzulu, head of MSB AR-GE, highlighted that their work, spanning 12 years, has been discreet due to ongoing processes like product completion, certification, and qualification.

A major highlight is the Penetrator Bomb (NEB) developed by MSB AR-GE, which has completed its final qualification and certification. Unlike standard NEBs in Türkiye’s inventory, which penetrate about 1.8 meters, this new NEB penetrated 7 meters of C50 concrete reinforced with 22 mm ribbed steel during tests in December 2024 at the HABRAS facility. It also passed through 1.5 tons of additional concrete and reached a sandpit. In flight tests, it penetrated approximately 90 meters of rocky terrain, surpassing expectations.

The NEB is fully qualified, NATO-standard certified, and ready for inventory use. Kuzulu emphasized that MSB AR-GE’s work will become more prominent, with more products to be revealed in the future.

The Ministry of National Defense R&D Center (MSB AR-GE) is developing two types of missiles from the same rocket motor; One is an Air-to-Air missile and the other is a unguided 122mm rocket for multiple barrel rocket launchers. The 122mm unguided rocket has a range of 60km, double the range existing 122mm rockets in Turkish inventory

I'm assuming airborne tests, since it's already been disclosed that some ground-based launch tests have been completed.

According to the original schedule, airborne tests were set to be conducted by 2025, with delivery by 2027.

This missile is quite a bit longer than Roketsan's Gökbora and is liquid-fueled. I wonder what its CONOPS will be...

1000049607.png

I wish that, instead of two different ramjets, we'd at least gotten a dual-pulse equivalent.

The PL-15, for example, has a higher top speed than the Meteor and also a longer maximum range. Apparently, Ramjets also bleed energy much faster once they burn out. The Meteor barely outranges the latest AMRAAMs despite being considerably bigger.

The existence of VLO aircraft means time-to-target and agility at shorter distances are more important.

So, I wish we'd also developed something for this, instead of two different ramjets that do the same job.

What is shown at IDEF may not actually be the final form of Gokhan either, technology minister said on CNN TURK that the design may change in accordance with the protocol signed with SAGE to further increase it's range.

So Tayfun block 4 is a single stage missile.

I have been trying to find out whether it has a RV but no one has been able to answer this with some saying that it will get a RV in future.

Also, can anyone tell how many times this missile has been tested so far?

You have to understand that the very same government that openly shares information and has no problem milking the marketability of the defense industry for cheap internal propaganda points is keeping its lips sealed, leaking no information whatsoever (besides rarely name dropping)

There are various projects—whose existence has been confirmed eons ago—that have been developed and/or tested under the radar for a long time:

1) Akbaba: a liquid-fuel ramjet-powered anti-radiation missile with an AESA seeker

2) Cenk MRBM with MaRV warhead

3) Gezgin: a long-range LACM

4) Kaan's ~2000 GaN TRM MURAD-600A FCR

...and so on. These are just the ones I can name off the top of my head, in the middle of the night.

What I'm trying to say is that these projects have some of the highest classification levels in the history of the Republic. So, don't expect any hard data to be revealed anytime soon; we don't even have any data on SRBMs developed 25 years ago.

All we know about Tayfun Block 4 (which is entirely separate from the previous Tayfun blocks—it's entirely a different missile) is that it's expected to be inducted by the end of the year. That's it.

Are there any pics of the nozzle end? Want to see whether jet vanes for TVC or moveable nozzle is present.

What will Turkey do with a 1200 km range missile? Strike whom?

Turkey is already a member of NATO and it's strategic deterrence is already endured by its membership.

They have use cases in all directions.
Greece, Israel, Russia, Iran.

NATO won't help against Greece or Israel. Will be nice of them if NATO itself won't need to be contained in either case.

NATO normally should intervene with Russia, but Turkey had a very eye opening experience in 2016 on that.

The more reliable case is Iran, because it both appears easy to bully(though it's probably a mistake) and bad-bad. But it is outside of NATO responsibility area, so you have to count on opportunism in European capitals.
