If you triple the warhead weight, you won't triple the explosion radius; it doesn't work like that. Also, if you double the warhead weight, either the range of the missile is reduced by a lot, or you need to increase the weight of the missile a lot to carry a heavier warhead to the same distance.

Compared to other 2000Lbs bombs, is GAZAP more efficient than the others?

With KGK84 guidance kit Hayalet Nebs and Gazap will have 100 km range.

Hayalet is a bunker buster penetrator bomb. In order to penetrate, it is dropped from 30000+ft and hits the ground at supersonic speeds (1.3 Mach). If you let it glide you won’t get the penetrating power.

To double the diameter of the affected ground space you need to increase the explosive charge by 8 times which will increase the missile weight by 8 times considering the same explosive fraction.

This is all because your explosion happens in a three dimensional manner spreading your effect not only sideways but also up and down. So you want to use like 3 or 4 of the smaller explosives rather than one double size ground coverage one. (4 small bombs give exactly the same space as one large one but you can get away with 3 for soft targets) Sketch made by Zafer.

Tayfun Block 4 is a hypersonic missile confirmed by the Roketsan General Director. Tayfun sustains hypersonic speeds throughout its flight, and impact happens at hypersonic speeds. Also, as i said ramjet engine of the Gökbora is ready. A bigger diameter ALBM is also on its way.
Here is an interview with English subtitles available.

How is it that the air-launched version of TRG-300 (120 kilometers range), the IHA-300, has a range of 500 kilometers?

— Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci explained:

different fuel and different propulsion

There is also one extra factor talked about earlier in the video, IHA-300's diameter is 375mm not 300 despite the name. Air launched missiles probably allows for more unrestricted development phase due to not needing a standartized size to fit into multi-launch canisters and already existing systems.

 

[Zafer]

Larger size munitions of the IHA-300 type are also considered by Roketsan but you are limited by the carrying capacity of your planes.

Was there any news about the Kuzgun project in the IDEF? I was hoping that will start seeing more stuff after the last Kuzgun-SS test fire but it has been silent ever since.

 

[TheInsider]

Yes Kuzgun project is going on, but it has gotten lighter. Now, Kuzgun KY is around 80kg, and Kuzgun-TJ is around 85kg
