IMO, an ideal cruise missile would be a stealthy YJ-18.

There is something actually better than YJ-18, YJ-12 or Brahmos.

The Japanese ASM-3A.

It has 400km range along with 3.5 Mach speed.
The most manuaverable and stealthy supersonic cruise missile. Also, for now it is only AShM that has operational AESA seeker.

I like to call it a fat meteor.🙃

Hopefully, Tubitak would be able to come up with something like that.

Oh they will, don't you worry. (unless... eh, nevermind.)

But the thing about YJ-18 is that it goes subsonic until it goes terminal, then it goes supersonic.

Best of both worlds.

Compared to the size of the two men, it looks like also CENK has a diameter of 600mm.

Tayfun reached 600km, I estimate that CENK is probably ~800km not much more since diameter of the missile has not increased

CENK is being carried on a trailer type platform so it is most likely the biggest brother of the 3. I also suspect it has a a MaRV considering those suspiciously similar fins at the front.

All right fellas, what we are seeing here is some reeeaaal deal.

Range probably around 1000-1200km or more.
Maximum speed probably around Mach 10-12.

Warhead's separation from the booster considerably reduces its RCS. Makes it harder for Radars to track.

In terminal phase it will do some maneuvers like this one, (below) making it difficult to shoot down with ABMs.

Also, I expect less than 10m CEP thanks to its control surfaces and active seeker.

To get an idea about what we are talking here, watch this.

So what? Not like Greece can't shoot these down. Actually longer the range of a ballistic missile easier to shoot it down in multiple stages you want. 6 Patriot batteries + S300 can easily handle ANYTHING we can come up with. People act like these are nuclear ICBMs. Non nuclear missiles are just phallic symbols not much else IMHO. Iran has million of these can she dare to attack tiny Israel?

Are you aware that ICBM means Inter Continental Ballistic Missile and nuclear part is just a warhead?

Your humble opinion is so fucking wrong that if you could show this to military personnel around the world they would all laugh at you with their asses as if they were Ace Ventura. So, ordinary missiles are just "phallic symbols" that's why countries around the world has been ordering them en masse and Ukraine has been begging for longer range ones for months for shits and giggles? How on earth can people be this ignorant in an age where information is freely accessible like never before is amazing.

6 Patriot batteries + S300 can easily handle ANYTHING we can come up with.
I'm sorry, would that be the same S300 that has been destroyed by Ukraine multiple times? And wow, you think 6 Patriot batteries will be able to handle anything we can throw at them? Wow, that is just embarrassing.
