The Tayfun ballistic missile stands out as a long-range, high-impact system that significantly enhances Türkiye’s defense capabilities. Classified as a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), Tayfun is recognized for its high speed, extended range, and ability to strike strategic targets with precision. Test launches demonstrated its reach and accuracy, marking a new era in Türkiye’s regional deterrence. Designed to engage critical targets swiftly, Tayfun strengthens national defense with its high-altitude ballistic trajectory and rapid response capability.

From a technical perspective, Tayfun is assessed to have a range exceeding 500 km, making it the longest-range missile Türkiye has developed to date. Its ballistic flight profile enables extremely high speeds, and its terminal-phase maneuverability allows the missile to evade air-defense systems while maintaining accurate engagement. The solid-fuel rocket motor provides rapid launch and strong acceleration, while advanced guidance technology ensures high precision even at extended distances. The integration of Tayfun into the Turkish Armed Forces demonstrates Türkiye’s growing independence in long-range strike technologies and its commitment to strengthening strategic deterrence.
