Ankara’s secret plan – The missile traveled a distance of 561 kilometers and landed off the coast of Sinop
There is concern over a Bloomberg report that Turkey test-fired a Turkish-made short-range ballistic missile over the Black Sea on Tuesday, according to two well-informed sources.
A special mobile platform was reportedly used for the test, from an airport near the port city of Rizunda at around 07:00 in the morning.
The missile, according to Bloomberg, traveled a distance of 561 kilometers and fell off the coast of Sinop.
The ballistic missile test is part of a secret project called Tayfun that has been in development for several years.
However, officials at the Turkish defense industry, which oversees weapons development, refused to disclose any information.
It is recalled that, two years ago, Ankara signed an agreement with Moscow for the purchase of Russian S-400 anti-missile systems, which caused the annoyance of the US, which in turn announced the imposition of sanctions.
This morning, the first Typhoon short-range ballistic missile developed by #Turkey was tested.
