If i am not mistaken it was 2.5 km all along when called as "Mizrak K". It was Yatagan missile with 1 km range!
Then i am getting old ,last time i remember karaok was told to have 1 km range.

Also still 1000+meters in Roketsan website but it was either updated last or this year.

Looks like it was updated in 2021:

Miniature Bomb range of smart ammunition certification to Turkish f16’s have been completed. The TuAF now in a position to purchase these in quantity.
With multiple release pods up to 8 of these 145kg bombs can be carried by f16 planes and will hit targets up to 110 km with pinpoint accuracy. It will penetrate 100cm thick steel reinforced concrete bunkers from 85 km distance.

The 107 mm Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher integrated into the BMC production VURAN vehicle successfully hit the target in the test shot. At the disposal of TSK, VURAN with MBRL firing 12 rockets in a single set
Manual aiming makes the use of armoured platform meaningless. Please add electic drives. Also the addition of guide system to rounds will be valuable.

Thinking the same, the vehicle itself is already expensive armored one why the hell personnel should leave an armored car to set elevation?
It should be all automatic; target identification, range measurement, firing angle should be set automatically. Acompanied by an RCWS if needed to further provide fire support and use some decent E/O.
Also it should be carrying 4x5 tubes instead of 3x4, 3x4 was meant to be carried by helicopters and pulled around by infantry when needed, while this one is an armored platform which definitely can carry 4x5 tubes with electric/hydraulic controls with back-up manual.

I can literally mount this on back of Anadol, then what is the difference or purpose in here when it is mounted on an armored vehicle with manual controls?

When it comes to domestic market the best they can go is a single launcher with manual controls? The one on the picture above should be in one of the fairs abroad.

I could not understand the purpose of this system. Why is this vehicle armored? If this vehicle is armored, why do personnel have to get out of the vehicle?

They say it's quick solutions... But I don't think TSK is going to be ordering these, so perhaps they'll go abroad, but who'd want this ?

Seriously Though, BMC made this ??? The guys who made a national engine ?

I bet it was BMC + SSB ,Roketsan offers these with remote control, TAF wouldn't purchase such a thing.

This system doesn't fulfill the requirements of Turkish Army. I don't think Our army have such a concept. This system must have been developed by considering the requirements of some Gulf states.

Great to have a cheap multi barrel launcher at your disposal in battlefield. But if you can’t control firing and targeting from inside the vehicle, you might as well stick this on the back of a cheap Toyota L200 pickup truck.

This is a shit product. If you want something cheap for your proxies or countries with a tight budget put it on BMC Tulga or Toyota and paint it with military camo. If you want something good turret should be automated and the system should be integrated to ADOP system and get the targeting data from artillery command, UAVs and forward spotters. We are modernizing mortars with ADOP and automation but we are turning MLRS turrets with hand and put it on a really expensive vehicle for the job. Makes zero sense.
