Kemankeş can stay in the air for 1 hour and has a range of 200 km.

Surely these things have to be sent to Ukraine first?

But it certainly gives TB2's in insane level of increased potency. Its a very wise and astute development. Just as it seemed that TB2's potentially cannot operate in dense layered air defences, especially if you don't have electronic warfare systems, this weapon can bridge that gap.

Sinop, Kefken, İğneada are to be launch sites as it stands now.
And where will the MRBM tests take place? We are talking about lifting a 1.5 tonne satellite to an altitude of 700 km. I think it is quite reasonable to assume that in a few years the flight ceiling of launch rockets will reach over 500 km apogee point, and even on the military side, this target is perhaps much closer. This allows a missile reach radius perhaps twice as far as the total width of the Turkish borders on the east-west axis, as balistic trajectory. Anyway, these issues are the dark side of the moon. When the time comes, we'll know where it will launched from. (Edit: Perhaps the naval command will conduct these tests, on open seas.)

its flying course seems not balistic to me
These are all ballistic (moving under the force of gravity only) missiles during their downward and terminal stages of flight.
What we think we have observed here, is a greatly suppressed trajectory during the initial launch stage.
It looks like a very potent missile with a lot of energy and more than normal high speed during launch; indicating long hypersonic mid flight.

I think use of composite materials made it lighter and increased its thrust to weight ratio.

Mid-flight speed would Probably be around Mach 7.5/8.

We are speedily running out of possible test sites for longer range missiles. They basically pointed it to Sevastopol.
Actually, I don't think we have a test field problem. Because North Korea usually aims for maximum altitude, not maximum range, to test ICBMs. The maximum range is calculated with the ratio created here. We will probably do something similar.

For space launches we can probably use İğneada for up to 1500kg 700km launches. For bigger launches we can use shipborne platforms of the coast of our province of Muğla or of Libya across the sea. For the largest launches we will probably need locations near the equator like Somalia or Indonesia. I would use a combination of ship and land base premises; like the rocket is shipped to a port where the launchpad is.
