Precision is a step on that road, next thing would be developing an active or passive RF seeker. Or even a multi-mode seeker like PrSM Increment 2's

Considering that this was not a one in a million lucky shot but a tremendous leap at Tayfun’s accuracy, can we start to think some kind of ballistic ship ‘killer’ missile concept like Chinese do Now?
Yes, those who follow this forum already know about Roketsan's antiship ballistic missile research. We discussed that in the past. Many things will be unveiled in a few years noone can hide something for too long.

Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci had made the following statements in 2023:
“TAYFUN is a deep strike weapon that can hit all elements that may pose a threat to our country. It has the precision to hit the target with pinpoint accuracy. TAYFUN’s development activities will continue uninterrupted.”

I guess he is a man of his words. As well as hitting the target at an extended range with pinpoint accuracy, Tayfun has been in serial production.

But more importantly the bold writing says it all. This probably is a ship killer missile.

At 650 km radius, from Datca peninsula, nothing can be safe East of the Adriatic Sea.

PS 650 km was taken as a possible range, since a NOTAM for 775 km was declared.

The good part is Tayfun is an affordable missile. It is cost-effective to deploy Tayfun against anti-ballistic missile systems and ships. It is a tactical missile that punches way above its weight with a 700+ km range. 1000km variant will be a strawberry on top of the cake.

That could be astronavigation in the night maybe.

I thought for TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching). It can work day and night and would help to hit the target bullseye if optimised for it. And they did the test fire on daytime.

this post about GÖKHAN was in my X feed today. Were these figures shared before or is the guy just speculating?

20 km altitude ~350 km range
10 km altitude ~200 km range
~150-200 T/R module MMW type 26.5-40 GHz Ka band GaN AESA seeker
Launch ~0.5-2+ Mach
Interception ~2-4.5 Mach
Snap up/down ±10 km
RF decoy, DRFM resistant
2W-DL
X band passive sensor
laser proximity
AoA ~20°
NEZ ~70-80 km

Kozan Erkan:
“Before we get carried away, can someone tell me which aircraft’s radar at TurAF we will be using for guidance?
Our MURAD AESA radar is still in the testing phase. It has not entered mass production yet. It will be a weapon that we can use after it reaches success and enters mass production.
Also, the issue is not altitude”

Yeah, it is guesswork. Even at sea level, I think the missile will have a higher speed than Mach 2. Even the ramjet cruise missiles fly over Mach 2 at sea level.
