probability to hit (the vertical thing/rectangular near the circle), i tried a supersonic flight at 35.6k feet (616 knots) vs Akıncı with 230 knots at 38.6k feet. I can do a better one but i didnt have much time More closer to rectangular shape = better chance to hit "iirc"

Even though they can engage to multiple targets, launchers don't have that much. Oh and we can do more than 50 aircraft (not manned) on air at the same time

Not always You will use those to distract SAMs, not completely destroy them. No AD system have 100% success rate against BMs and Tayfun being able to manuever and being fast reduces the chances of AD systems intercepting it. Kargı and Akbaba just adds more complexity for enemy

intercepting BMs, which is already hard given that Tayfun is pretty fast and can move (not much as HGVs but still) Kargı and Akbaba will just make things harder

afaik, quasi ballistic missiles can do unexpected changes in route, making them harder to intercept, especially when the interceptor is slower than the missile. I would say main advantage of Tayfun is not the longer range, but it can be used for closer ranged targets with more speed available...

Bro wtf, that's enormous. but we don't have nukes or WMD, why would need MRBMs? Or do we?

Mr.Sunnetci stated that it can possibly be used against sea targets, which indicates it is pretty precise.

I wonder what are we working on now, HGVs maybe?

Another thing to note, if it can hit ships, it is manueverable to some degree. And longer range with longer running rocket means it can have pretty high terminal speed. It can probably be in the terminal phase when Patriot or Aster radars detect it, there won't be much time to react and...

And talking by my experience in Falcon BMS, altitude affects range more than speed, The envelope which you gain more range with speed is over 1.5 Mach,

Yes, but wouldn't terminal be higher than avarage?

Tayfun means Typhoon

THAAD or other kind of ABM systems won't be effective as this missile is inside the atmosphere, PAC-3MSE and Aster-30 could have a chance but missile would still be pretty fast and Patriots will have a rough time.

That's a great question, and I do have 2 answers, one is ~3.6 Mach (if you take the distance between launch location and target), the other is ~5 Mach avarage if you also count ballistic trajectory

I dont really know if we just calculate it from the distance travelled by the rocket or the distance between target and the launcher? Because this makes a very big difference. If it is calculated with distance travelled by the missile, wouldnt it be around/over mach 5?

I wonder why Anil Şahin didn't include AESA radar in this table, in official ASELSAN brochure it was included

I wonder if Tayfun can be equipped with a glider. Because without a glider like payload, it will be pretty hard to hit a moving ship

I also think this, we will stop at SRBMs, and improve speed, manueverability, guidence etc. Tayfun's range (750-800km) is enough for us

With all the things known, this doesn't seem like a test, not much protection for ground crew, no effort to conceal the launcher, no markings on launcher etc. Seems like this was a show off, perfectly planned, with "leak"s and a number of 561 with so many meanings. Maybe this is a sign of more...
