Yeah. You need specialized buildings, doors etc, for the facilities that produce solid fuel rockets. Even the construction of those facilities is a problem. Workers need special training. Paraffin has no such needs and risks. Oxygen is also pretty safe if you are careful. There are like thousands of welding machines that use pressurized oxygen and accidents are rare.
Basic principle is just an oxydizer and fuel burning through each other, you can literally make a rocket with plumbing parts, anything that burns vigorously (and long enough for the distance you want) and moonshine lol I'm all for it if it keeps the cost down while giving us adequate/reasonable distance. Especially since one of the selling points of this system is that it is very cheap to use.
Actually Goktan seems to very flexible platform. We can think it as a booster for other similar weight and dimension smart munitions . we can connect it with gokdogan to obtain air defence / attack purpose , kuzgun tj to obtain cruise missile at same carrier vehicle with only kement link . For example one of Air or sea platform can detect enemy air asset via kement link it can fire goktan + gokdogan combination or it can detect enemy fac via kement link it can fire goktan + kuzgun tj or with goktan + tolun it can attack stationary ground targets. Also at future may be it can be mounted to unmanned navy assets.View attachment 76512

Göktan provocates my creativeness. Again I've come up with another crazy idea.
Shore-based ASROC !!!
This is air launched torpedo project from USA, please notice the similarity to TOLUN

India Has Tested A Very Long Range Supersonic Anti-Submarine Missile For The First Time
The missile releases a torpedo after reaching the target area, which can range out to 400 miles from the launch point.www.twz.com

Do we need 500km range ASROC?imagine as if ground launcher and control unit based in Ankara , engaging submarines in the Mediterranean sea!!!
Just need to gather intelligence from USVs!!!
That is almost a new missile. Original Tayfun is 2300 kg, 610 mm and 6.5 m length.
Wow, that is a huge missile. Its diameter is bigger than 900mm, combined with a 10m length, it's no surprise that it weighs 7200kg.
It might be. The difference between Neb-1 and Neb-2 is that the second stage is a thermobaric explosive, as far as I know.
There is an anti-ship variant, but I don't know which block it is. Probably either block 2 or 3. I don't know why Roketsan named this block 4. This is a completely new missile. If this missile has 938mm diameter Cenk will probably have 1250mm diameter. That will put Cenk in an interesting place.
Making mid course manoeuvres to trick AD systems and being able to hit a moving target are two different things. When the missile has a two way datalink to perform controlled course corrections during flight then it may hit a moving target. Imaging Infrared seeker is another method. But at such high speeds the camera will not operate due to intense heat generated.
I hope one can be anti ship variant , other anti bunker variant
Probably compete it has less range but with foldable wings you can put more side by side
Gökbora is shorter than 4 meters. Could it be for side internal bays of Kaan and Kızılelma?
I'm also suspicious of this. It will probably fit side internal bays of KAAN. It is compatible with internal weapon bays of Kızılelma there is no doubt about that.
From 0:55 on... with a range exceeding 100nm.
