Turkey shows strength in the Black Sea, tests "Tayfun" ballistic missile

Turkey today conducted a new test of the Tayfun ballistic missile, which belongs to the short-range missile category.

The missile launch was carried out from the Rize air base towards the Black Sea, under very strict security measures, while Turkish authorities described the process as successful.

This was Tayfun's third test launch, while the executed scenario is unknown and the distance it reached was not revealed.

The Tayfun is believed to be one of the longest-range ballistic missiles Turkey has produced to date, although details about it remain secret.

Following previous successful tests of the missile, the CEO of Roketsan, the company responsible for its development, confirmed that the Tayfun has entered serial production, so that its active deployment in the Turkish military can follow. (A2 Televizion)
