The TAYFUN Block-3 ballistic missile developed by ROKETSAN hit its moving target at sea…
In the firing activity conducted against a platform in free navigation, the Tayfun Block-3 missile reached hypersonic speeds and struck its target with a direct hit.
In the engagement where live warhead ammunition was used, the target was successfully identified, tracked, and locked onto by the seeker head in the terminal phase, and was subsequently destroyed with a direct hit during the hypersonic phase.
Reaching hypersonic speeds in the terminal phase, the missile destroyed the high-mobility and small-sized surface target by striking it directly.
While conventional ballistic missiles are designed for fixed land targets, the specially developed seeker head technology integrated into the TAYFUN BLOCK 3 missile extends the system’s tactical application to the maritime domain.
Significantly challenging the engagement capabilities of modern air and missile defense systems thanks to its flight profile reaching hypersonic speeds, the TAYFUN Missile System can perform high-precision engagements against strategic targets located at operational depths.
Supported by an advanced guidance and control infrastructure, the system provides a high hit rate against the target, while keeping collateral damage to a minimum thanks to its controlled area of effect and creating a maximum destructive effect on the target…
