Regarding the new big boy, there have been no info released as far as i can see. Fatih says the same as well. Have fun counting pixels to figure out dimensions but it won't be anything official.

Quick question did another siper battery enter the inventory or were the launchers just for show?

They probably delivered more missiles. Aselsan has Siper, Roketsan delivers the rockets.

Tayfun Block 2-A1 Canister is 3500kg and has 7200 x 1200 x 1400 mm dimensions. Block 1 has launch weight of 2300 kg and 610 mm diameter. Since I very much doubt canister alone weights 1200 kg, we could say that block 2-A1 is 20-30% heavier and also bigger.

Some of you may haven't noticed but there was only one real tayfun launcher.

Notice how the front of the truck carrying the big launcher has a Roketsan poster stuck on it? They're covering the name.
Pretty good bet it's Cenk

Cenk / Tayfun-4 truck is a long long truck and a big front part is covered with ancillary systems. The canistar part only covers like a half of the whole which seems to be less then the disclosed 10 meters lenght of Tayfun-4. So it is more than likely to be Cenk which has a longer range.

Do you have any idea what the ranges of the Tayfun Block 1–4 are?
Tayfun Block 1 -> 600 - 800+ km?
Tayfun Block 2 -> 1000+ km?
Tayfun Block 3 -> ?
Tayfun Block 4 -> 1500+ km? (Hypersonic)
Cenk Block 1? -> 2000 - 2500+ km?
Tayfun Block 1 -> 600 - 800+ km?
Tayfun Block 2 -> 1000+ km?
Tayfun Block 3 -> ?
Tayfun Block 4 -> 1500+ km? (Hypersonic)
Cenk Block 1? -> 2000 - 2500+ km?

Eurofighter Typhoon'dan APKWS testi
Kraliyet Hava Kuvvetleri'ne ait Eurofighter Typhoon savaş uçağından APKWS lazer güdüm kiti ile donatılmış roketler test edildi ve yerdeki hedefler vuruldu.

Eurofighter Typhoon Test Fires Laser-Guided Counter-Drone Rockets
The trial couldn't come soon enough as Typhoons battle Iranian drones in the Persian Gulf.
www.twz.com
Typhoon has been recently fitted with 70mm APKWS missiles to hit cheap UAVs by BAE Systems.
Each APKWS kit is fitted on to Hydra missiles, at a cost of 22000dollars, making them extra precision kill missiles with a prospective range of 11+ km.
Yet our Cirit has been in operation for well over a decade doing the same job from helicopters and ground vehicles at a cost of 19000 dollars each.
Apparently 42 of these missiles fitted on to Typhoons can also be fired at moving ground targets with very high precision.
There seems to be no records of our f16s having been fitted with Cirit though.

One of the issues for me with Cirit is its pod. APKWS missiles for example using same pods as the Hydra pods which are compact. Cirit pods are for some reason too big hence able to carry less missile.Eurofighter Typhoon'dan APKWS testi

Q
And i believe the block 4 had live trials so it is not odd for inventory acceptance.
What is more strange is Tayfun Block - 2A, that A indicates a B, or C variant. Assuming a similar coding to SOM, the B and C might be referring to versions with bunker-buster and link-capable versions, respectively. The last one make more sense in conjunction with anti-ship BM development.
Almost certain that mysterious BM is not CENK, CENK is way bigger and obviously as wide and even longer than the trailer of the truck. This one seems narrower. Must be block 4 or 3.
