They probably delivered more missiles. Aselsan has Siper, Roketsan delivers the rockets.Quick question did another siper battery enter the inventory or were the launchers just for show?
Regarding the new big boy, there have been no info released as far as i can see. Fatih says the same as well. Have fun counting pixels to figure out dimensions but it won't be anything official.

Looks like cenk canister
Doubtful about Tayfun Block 4 as it hasn’t been fired yet as far we know
Notice how the front of the truck carrying the big launcher has a Roketsan poster stuck on it? They're covering the name.Here is a better picture. Its diameter looks like twice as big Tayfun's next to it so it doesn't look like Tayfun Block 4. I would say Cenk too.

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.![]()

Eurofighter Typhoon Test Fires Laser-Guided Counter-Drone Rockets
The trial couldn't come soon enough as Typhoons battle Iranian drones in the Persian Gulf.www.twz.com
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.
