Our officials either needs to stop lying or learn what serial production is. They have been saying Tayfun serial production is already ongoing since 2023 and now they announce that "they have started serial production of many new missile systems like tayfun and akata in 2025". So which one is it?

''TAYFUNún seri üretimleri devam ediyor''

What does the above tell you?

When a factory or a new production line is set up, there is a notion called Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) that is put in to motion.
This allows the factory to weigh the eco system that is set up to produce the product and iron out imperfections within the production line and the supply chain to provide unbroken supply line.

As well as this, there is going to be a family of missiles in the Tayfun range. So to get all parameters correct and in place will have taken time. There is nothing untoward that in the statements made by the officials.

To be fair i also think Tayfun entered service in somewhat large numbers last year because we saw the proper launcher vehicle and not some special single launcher that were used from 2020 to 2024 to conduct the test.

Service ready Launcher

I wonder if we could have something similar to this like KGK UM and how much it would cost compared to a proper cruise missile

TAYFUN balistik füzesinin seri üretimi sürüyor

ROKETSAN Genel Müdürü Murat İkinci: "TAYFUN'un seri üretimleri ve teslimatları devam ediyor. Blok 4 de bu yıl seri üretime girecek."

Roketsan MD Murat Ikinci has been explaining latest situations at Roketsan. Here are the bullet points :

1. Tayfun ballistic missile serial production at full swing. Already a sizeable quantity is in TSK’s inventory.

2. Following Tayfun Block 4’s successful testing, it too, will be starting serial production this year.

3. Addition to the UAV fired TRG122 and TRG 230 missiles already in inventory, the TRG300-ER too will start serial production and enter inventory this year.

4. In a short while we will start testing a2a missiles firing tests from our various UAVs.

5. Ramjet powered Gokbora a2a missile will be in the inventory within 2 to 2.5 years. This missile will be launched from Eurofighter, Kaan, KE and other UAVs subject to the Aesa radar being integrated to that platform.

6. Roketsan managed to reach its export target last year, that was set for 2 years from then.

7. As well as developing new technologies and weapons, Roketsan is concentrating on quick serial bulk production of matured products.

Still no information about ‘Gezgin’.

Still no information about ‘Gezgin’.

We know that it's been undergoing land tests for some time. We won't actually see the Gezgin before new Istifs are delivered.

The ones who are on the docks right now?

The ones who are on the docks right now?

Any of the seven with the strike length MIDLAS.

 

[fushkee]

Gezgin will be on the deck of Tepe classes.

One thing I still don't get is, is "Cenk" a seperate project that is still alive or has it been absorbed into "Tayfun" and became one of its Blocks?

 

[Sanchez]

Gezgin will be on the deck of Tepe classes.

As well as Istif, Gezgin is the main reason they have longer VLS. Siper would only be good enough to carry any future Siper B3 so others could guide it, as Cenk-400 and FCRs simply wouldn't cut it.

 

[Anmdt]

We know that it's been undergoing land tests for some time. We won't actually see the Gezgin before new Istifs are delivered.

I'd honored to speculate a live-fire test this year (2026).

 

[boredaf]

This is exactly what we need Roketsan to turn Mete into:

Alman şirketten 2500 euroluk anti-İHA füzesi

Alman MOSOLF Group ve Skylance GmbH, 2500 euro birim maliyete sahip anti-İHA füzesini ve lançerini tanıttı.

A system like this would be the cheapest way to deal with them in long (for small drone engagement) range after airburst bullets.

 

[UkroTurk]

It says 2000 m max range, afaik MKE Tolga 35 mm will have 3000 m range and Korkut has 4000 m range.

How it is possible to increase 30% increase max range as both cannons have same calibers?

 

[boredaf]

The problem is, not everything that needs protection from drones can fit a 35mm cannon on it, but, you can fit a 55 cm long, 12 cm high and 30 cm wide pod, for example, pretty much anything. And a pod as small as that should still be able to hold 10 Mete.

 

[boredaf]

Wait we have PUSU Cirit, isn't that more cost-effective?

I don't know mate, but whether it is or not, that's still a 2 metre long missile. Not exactly a compact system, is it?

 

[CAN_TR]

Barrel lenght

Could not find the twitter anymore but the picture .

Cenk Missile for the first time a good look.
