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.

Where is this launch site? Trabzon airport ?
And for longer ballistic missiles Turkiye can launch it from iğneada toward Blacksea Trabzon 1000km distance + altitude 3000-5000 km i think it can be launched from there .

Where is this lunch site? Yrabzon airport ?
And for longer ballistic missiles Turkiye can lunch it from iğneada toward Blacksea trabzon 1000km distance + altitude 3000-5000 km i think can lunched from there .
New Rize-Artvin Airport.

Two different Tayfun missile launchers in same image

View attachment 57613
The top one could be Bora canister. Not Tayfun.
If you check below picture shared by Kaan Azman on twitter, they are different size canisters. Taking the hydrolic lift mechanism as same he has extrapolated measurements too; as shared by @Al Lablabi here.

It is also Tayfun and the image was taken from previous intro shared by SSB. There is probably major difference between missile used in previous test and current one.

Yes. But if you watch the actual launching of the missile video, the canisters are different. This is supposedly the second and latest launch.

This is the first launch.
1684842143912.png

The canisters are longer but different in both.
SSB and Roketsan are trying to confuse us. Mixing Bora and Tayfun launch videos.
