Turkey debuts hypersonic missile at IDEF 2025

Turkey has unveiled its first hypersonic missile, Tayfun Block-4, as defence giant Roketsan introduced six new advanced systems at the IDEF 2025 international defence fair in Istanbul, TRT reported.

The Tayfun Block-4 ballistic missile is the hypersonic version of the Tayfun missile, Turkey's longest-range nationally produced ballistic missile.

"The Tayfun Block-4 achieves long ranges, setting another record for the Turkish defence industry. Weighing over 7 tonnes, this new version of the Tayfun, with its multi-purpose warhead, will be capable of destroying numerous strategic targets, such as air defence systems, command and control centres, military hangars, and critical military facilities, from kilometres away," Roketsan said in a statement on Tuesday.
