Can someone explain this?
It's MICLIC. We had it for 50 years, now MKE finally put it on an armored vehicle instead of a trailer behind an armored vehicle.

Not just on an armored vehicle but on a hybrid/electric armored vehicle. I am not well versed enough on pros or cons of it to comment but seems like an interesting detail
Anzatsan's Dağhan is not a real vehicle.

Didn't expect this
Quite likely it is only a mock-up and only a project on paper. It could well be another hard moon hit project.
It is not clear what they intend to do with it. If not carrying a nuclear bomb it is a total waste of money and resources. At 50-100 million dollar a piece (Even the Indian Agni 5 is probably close to 12 to 20 million dollars.)it is not a cheap endeavour to fire one of these. Anything short of a thermonuclear head would be wasted on this (thermonuclear bombs aren’t cheap either).

Which means either they are dumb or ...............?

If Yıldırımhan can carry 7 Gazap bomb warheads it can do some carpet bombing and it will be done in hypersonic speeds.

Whilst I agree, Gazap is damn impressive. If it can carry a few of those and accurately disperse them all whilst avoiding interception then I can see how non-nuclear could be viable. 50-100 million is basically the cost of a fighter jet. I guess that's a price worth paying if push comes to shove. With all that said, yes, you're more than likely correct about this being only on paper until nukes are ready.

$100m is a cost when made in the west, we can make it for like $30m I think. The power lies in its fast speed. If you can reach your target with this roket while you do not have any other viable option then it is worth the money.

For 100m$? Not worth it. This is an important part of latent nuclear capability I think. Doesn't make sense otherwise.
7 Gazaps would basically annihilate any airbase. Like I mean utterly destroy everything.

If your adversary has strong air force this is basically a superweapon, of course assuming you've taken care of their anti-ballistic capabilities...

Bro, Gazap is an upgraded and glorified MK84 dumb bomb. Its only speciality is being thermobaric. At the end of the day it is a 970kg bomb including its encasing. Total explosive content is around 500kg. It has a very limited effective radius (even though fragmentation radius is 1km, lethality area is smaller. Within 160m radius everything is incinerated). It is a very potent bomb. But is it worth sending MIRV version of these to hit specific targets 6000km away?
By the way, even though missile travels at hypersonic speeds, those individual bombs will be at low supersonic speeds at best.
