What I have understood is, that we build a MRBM with Cenk already.
About the fuel, we have managed liquid fuel, if I am not mistaken.
DeltaV, recently having tested a series of platforms for hybrid rockets, launched its ramjet test platform at Sinop, achieving ignition at flight conditions.

About the Yildirimhan, it is expected to have a multi stage engine and not single stage.
Explore the Yıldırımhan ballistic missile, Turkey’s advanced long-range precision strike system. Learn about its Mach 5+ speed, ROKETSAN manufacturing, and costs.

It says single stage here:
An unexpected reveal of a previously unknown intercontinental ballistic missile has raised major questions about Ankara’s strategic ambitions. An unexpected reveal of a previously unknown intercontinental ballistic missile has raised major questions about Ankara’s strategic ambitions.

Nilüfer Kuzulu of MSB-ArGe has only mentioned that it has 4 rocket engines and is a 17.5 m long, 1.5m diameter rocket.
She also says that TSK's repair and maintenance factories had a hand in making it.
But we all know that apart from Delta-V and Roketsan no other entity in Türkiye has the technology to build rockets. Furthest we have managed in exo-atmospheric flight is just over 200 km altitude. Roketsan has been working on 400km altitude for sometime.
Yildirimhan missile is supposed to go above 1500 km altitude.
Cenk missile is a myth. We don't know if it even flew.
There are news that end of 2025 Tayfun Block 4 was flight tested. But no video yet.
EDIT
PS
Contrary to general belief when missile is travelling in upward direction, there is still the effect of gravity on the missile. There is no such thing as zero gravity. There is weightlessness. But not zero gravity.
So the missile has to climb to its apogee overcoming the force of gravity whilst burning fuel all the time.
Re: zero gravity vs weightlessness.
First remember how when a plane starts dropping towards earth with an acceleration of 9.8m/s2, everyone inside becomes weightless.
But the force of gravity is till there. By dropping at that acceleration it is temporarily nullified.
When a rocket is in space and is travelling at a tangential speed of 27600km/hr at 400km altitude (as per ISS), it is Infact dropping towards earth negating gravity and because of it’s speed, it is staying in orbit. Hence weightless situation for the inhabitants of the rocket/ISS.
