TAYFUN Programme

Türkiye’s indigenous ballistic strike programme: production, inventory growth, configuration development and the expansion of sovereign long-range precision fires.

TürkiyeLast verified 2026-08-22

StatusProduction and inventory introduction

Current status

TAYFUN is Türkiye’s indigenous ballistic strike programme developed to increase the Turkish Armed Forces’ ability to engage strategic targets at extended distances.

SSB identifies the programme as a strategic-target engagement capability. The Ministry of National Defence’s 2025 activity reporting states that systems continue to enter inventory under a multi-year programme, while ROKETSAN is expanding manufacturing capacity for TAYFUN alongside SİPER and HİSAR.

Why it matters

TAYFUN extends Türkiye’s sovereign precision-strike architecture beyond traditional rocket artillery and creates an indigenous pathway toward progressively more capable long-range strike systems.

For Defence Agenda, the programme should be tracked primarily through officially confirmed production, testing and inventory milestones rather than speculative range figures.
