Doubtful about Tayfun Block 4 as it hasn’t been fired yet as far we know

Tayfun-4 looks long and slender while Cenk looks stubby, is what I gather

Quick question did another siper battery enter the inventory or were the launchers just for show?

They probably delivered more missiles. Aselsan has Siper, Roketsan delivers the rockets.

Tayfun Block 2-A1 Canister is 3500kg and has 7200 x 1200 x 1400 mm dimensions. Block 1 has launch weight of 2300 kg and 610 mm diameter. Since I very much doubt canister alone weights 1200 kg, we could say that block 2-A1 is 20-30% heavier and also bigger.

Cenk / Tayfun-4 truck is a long long truck and a big front part is covered with ancillary systems. The canistar part only covers like a half of the whole which seems to be less then the disclosed 10 meters lenght of Tayfun-4. So it is more than likely to be Cenk which has a longer range.

Do you have any idea what the ranges of the Tayfun Block 1–4 are?

Tayfun Block 1 -> 600 - 800+ km?
Tayfun Block 2 -> 1000+ km?
Tayfun Block 3 -> ?
Tayfun Block 4 -> 1500+ km? (Hypersonic)

Cenk Block 1? -> 2000 - 2500+ km?

Typhoon has been recently fitted with 70mm APKWS missiles to hit cheap UAVs by BAE Systems.
Each APKWS kit is fitted on to Hydra missiles, at a cost of 22000dollars, making them extra precision kill missiles with a prospective range of 11+ km.

Yet our Cirit has been in operation for well over a decade doing the same job from helicopters and ground vehicles at a cost of 19000 dollars each.

Apparently 42 of these missiles fitted on to Typhoons can also be fired at moving ground targets with very high precision.

There seems to be no records of our f16s having been fitted with Cirit though.

One of the issues for me with Cirit is its pod. APKWS missiles for example using same pods as the Hydra pods which are compact. Cirit pods are for some reason too big hence able to carry less missile.

Q
It’s Tayfun block 4.
Almost certain that mysterious BM is not CENK, CENK is way bigger and obviously as wide and even longer than the trailer of the truck. This one seems narrower. Must be block 4 or 3.

And i believe the block 4 had live trials so it is not odd for inventory acceptance.

What is more strange is Tayfun Block - 2A, that A indicates a B, or C variant. Assuming a similar coding to SOM, the B and C might be referring to versions with bunker-buster and link-capable versions, respectively. The last one make more sense in conjunction with anti-ship BM development.
