From today's video released by Haluk Görgün. Any guesses? First picture does not look like a DeltaV rocket. I think the footage showed 2 seperate tests.

The first one looks like a SLBM to me.

Tolga Ozbek's video about S-400 tests in Sinop









It’s always fascinating to see how discussions evolve when people dive deep into complex technology topics. Even without getting into specifics, it’s clear that long‑term projects always come down to good planning, reliable data, and consistent workflow. That’s true in any field. I’ve found platforms like fasting calculator app wellness-app helpful for keeping personal routines and goals organized—staying structured makes it easier to stay focused when dealing with demanding subjects.

Thanks for information!

• Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci:
• We are continuously conducting test activities and serial production efforts on various variants of TAYFUN, which holds the title of Turkey's longest-range ballistic missile produced with national capabilities, symbolizing the latest point our country has reached in this field
• We have added FPV drones, which are known for their speed and agility and are very difficult to target with conventional small arms, to the target set of the Directed Energy Weapon System ALKA. Thus, our country has gained a significant defense capability against kamikaze FPV drones, which have become an important terrorism threat in recent years
• We are continuing our activities for the integration of AKATA into the submarine platforms in the inventory of our Turkish Naval Forces, its serial production, and capacity enhancement. We aim to incorporate this system into the inventory of our Turkish Naval Forces as soon as possible, and subsequently into the inventories of friendly and brotherly countries

Turnover and exports are increasing with guided missiles, growth cannot fit within borders:
• Roketsan General Manager Murat İkinci:
• 2025 was a year of both technological leap and strengthened global visibility for Roketsan
• Throughout the year, we delivered many critical systems to land, air, and sea platforms, proving their success in the field with firing tests
• By raising our R&D budget above 10.5 billion liras, we continued our investments in projects that will shape the future in areas such as satellite launching, advanced materials, energy storage, terminal guidance, and innovative weapon systems
• In 2024, we succeeded in exceeding our targets by increasing our turnover by approximately 45 percent in dollar terms, carrying our export revenues above 380 million dollars. At the end of this year, we will surpass these figures by a much greater margin
• With production facilities we will establish abroad, we are transforming this growth into a global model that can no longer be contained within borders

TÜBİTAK BİLGEM’s "IŞIK” prototype and Roketsan/Aselsan’s "ALKA" system already prove that we can actually light things up. However, these two teams need to merge ASAP.

Think about 100+ kW class high-energy laser system such as UK's (DragonFire) and Israel's (Iron Beam); They are walking toward that way so we NEED TO RUN for it then.

Future lies there cuz:

Basically “not today, agaaa” in laser form.
Would be cheap as fück.
Our updated TF‑2000 / TF1000 destroyers, MUGEM escort groups, and land-based air defense nodes might be MIGHTY!
We have all the ingredients; we just need to turn the oven to 100+ kW! VOILA the cherry on top for our Steel Dome. I hope Mr. Haluk focuses on this too.

Just fantastic all around. Hope we see Tayfun Block-4 launch footage soon.

Engine development for the Gökbora project is completed.

Gökbora will be an air-to-air missile family.

The project is moving at a record pace.

That first statement is the most important part. If the engine development is completed then the missile is almost ready for testing. The solid fuel powered Ramjet motor is the most sensitive and difficult part of the project.

Well done Roketsan!

With that sort of range under its belt, even f16 jets supported with Murad radar will turn in to potent killing machines.
Once it can be fired from KE’s IWBs then it may become even deadlier.

A fighter jet can not be tracked from 200km by another fighter’s nose radar. But with these ramjet missiles, NEZ is improved. You can also make this with classic rocket motor missiles by adding dual pulse system amd it is a cheaper way. For the future, these long range missiles gradually will have lost their value due to the fact that stealth fighters can not engage each others in long range. So more missiles with short/medium range are needed on stealth fighters. A pilot with 2 AA missiles is in trouble if one missile is fired already, the other one is his last chance. The other point is to eliminate high value air targets with very long range AA missiles. In this case, ramjet powered missiles will be better than classic rocket powered ones. A big boy gökbora missile with 200 km range would be a real game changer. Overall we are on a good path with these products as such short/medium/long range AA missile family with GaN based nose radars, kızıelma, özgür project, T link and domestic IFF systems, missile warning sensors, DIRC, FEWS.

Seeker is more important here, at such long ranges you need a large aesa seeker and that is likely to take longer, don't know if there is commonality for ongoing seeker development for Gökhan

We need a seeker based on AESA technology, and ideally, it should combine AESA with IIR capabilities.

What type of seeker is now used in Gokdogan?

 

[Merzifonlu]

As far as I know, there's an RF seeker. So, it doesn't have AESA technology. Maybe they added IIR to make it safer, but I don't think they did that.

 

[Quasar]

What we know is for solid fuel ramjet-powered GÖKBORA During IDEF25 defence exhibition, a deal was signed to develop the AGRAS 3101/AA AESA RF seeker for the missile between ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, and SSB. This marks the first AESA seeker to be developed in Türkiye.

Gökbora is going to have an AESA seeker, it was already announced at IDEF

 

[Quasar]

@Yasar_TR Gökhan is liquid fuel ramjet engine and Gokbora with solid fuel ramjet and AESA RF seeker? what would be pros and cons of liquid (gel?) fuel and solid fuel ramjets respectivly other than solid fuel ramjet being a bit simpler than liquid fuel one?

''Liquid-fueled systems typically offer higher specific impulse and can be throttled for varying thrust levels, whereas solid fuels provide consistent thrust once ignited. Liquid-fueled ramjets require more complex plumbing and fuel management systems, while solid-fueled ramjets are simpler in design, with fewer moving parts. In addition, solid-fueled systems are generally easier to handle and maintain and have a longer shelf life than liquid-fueled systems.''

I can see the logic but still cant help myself to also ask for a missile with Gökhan's liquid fuel ramjet engine and Gökbora's AESA seeker as well
