Gökbora is probably a solid fuel Ramjet, while Gökhan is gel based. The range of the Gökbora is announced as 100 nautical miles (185km).

From 0:55 on... with a range exceeding 100nm.

I hope its not Gökhan with name change because the war doctrine is changing and we need long range air -air missile 300+ km .
Someone at IDEF should ask what happened with Gökhan , same with CENK its tayfun block 4 CENK or not ? ?
A missile 10 meter 938mm diameter can easy reach 1400km but i would like to make it reach 500km and all space leave to warhead like 5 ton bomb

Maybe Gökbora is equivalent to meteor/PL-15, and Gökhan for ultra long range BVR like AIM-260 or PL-21?

This is truly a rabbit out of a hat instant.
We were waiting for a liquid/gel fuelled ramjet a2a missile. They most likely gave us a solid fuelled ramjet that is small enough to fit in to internal bays of KAAN and even KE.

Gökbora is probably a solid fuel Ramjet, while Gökhan is gel based. The range of the Gökbora is announced as 100 nautical miles (185km).

It is too small to have a fuel tank, compared to the given approximate length of 5m of liquid fuelled Gökhan. It has to be solid fuelled.

This is similar to Meteor. Meteor is 3.9 metres.
The important points are:
When will it be ready? At what stage of it’s development is it?

Gökhan was too long and too heavy for an a2a missile that was supposed to fit on internal bays of KAAN or KE.
They can carry on developing it as an AShM now.

Gökhan is going to be equivalent to AIM-260 or PL-21 that’s what I’m thinking.

Gökbora equivalent to Meteor.

I was also considering is Tayfun block 4 was just name change for Cenk for standardization but the missile is different from the Cenk we saw in videos which has a distinct nose. I wonder if Gökbora replaces Gökhan project or complements it but it would be nice if we have both, Gökbora for IWB and Gökhan for deterring other 4th gen or large assets like awacs, somewhat similar to AIM 174. Also nice that it is confirmed to fit KE IWB. Hope all A2A missiles get aesa seeker

IMHO propulsion part is ready( solid fuel ramjet Akbaba is in tests and trials for a while now). AESA seeker will probably be delivered soon. I expect advanced tests in 2026 similar to Gökhan. Both of them will probably have a similar AESA seeker from Aselsan.

Gökhan will give our F-16 Özgür very sharp teeth.

 

[TheInsider]

Gökhan will definitely fit inside the belly internal bays of KAAN. Those bays are monstrous. IMHO at this point, 4x Gökhan inside mid internal bays and 2x Gökbora inside side internal bays are guaranteed.

We produce 500 MAM-L per week. (did he leak the name of a not revealed munition "Göksen"?)

26.000 MAM L a year who the f*ck uses that many munitions its like everyday they produce/use 71 bombs

Imo many exports and many of them were used in different wars the last years.

Then how many omtas umtas Karaok(i don't know if its even in service) sungur do they produce or hisar for that?

 

[Oublious]

Where is Block 2 and 3?

we skipped that parts....

 

[mTT]

Will Gökbora compete with Gökhan or did they change the name?

Gökhan >>> TÜBİTAK SAGE
Gökbora >>> ROKETSAN

It's not, GÖKHAN is a project of Tübitak SAGE.

 

[BalkanTurk90]

26.000 MAM L a year who the f*ck uses that many munitions its like everyday they produce/use 71 bombs

Its main weapon of all drones of Turkiye like tb2 , anka and others and took part in all wars in suria , armenia , libya , ukraine , africa and all those countries that buy pur drones will aslo buy MAM L perhaps aslo MAM T and C.
So no wonder we are producing so much smart bombs

 

[TheInsider]

Tayfun block 2 and 3 are classified and won't be announced or unveiled. The sources I reached say they are in the inventory. Cenk will also have blocks and it is expected to be unveiled in the next IDEF and similar to Tayfun, some blocks and some product data will stay classified. Tayfun block 4 will enter the inventory by the end of 2025.

 

[Philip the Arab]

My humble guess range of Tayfun block 4 is 1700-2100km
@TheInsider accurate ballpark?

Yes, I think so, but it depends on the warhead. Roketsan might have gone for a bigger 1000 or 1500kg warhead we don't know the details.

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.
