⚡️🇹🇷BBC / Analisys — Turkey unveiled its longest-range indigenous missile, the "Yıldırım Han" (Thunder Khan), classified as the nation's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), at the SAHA 2026 defense expo in Istanbul, marking a pivotal advancement in its strategic missile posture.

🎛 Developed by the National Defense Ministry's R&D unit, the liquid-fueled system with four rocket engines uses nitrogen tetroxide propellant and achieves hypersonic speeds of Mach 9-25, with a displayed range of 6,000 km and a massive 3,000 kg explosive payload capacity.

📲 Güler described it as Turkey's first liquid-propellant hypersonic rocket munition and a major boost to deterrence capabilities, enabling strikes across Europe, Middle East, southern Russia, and North Africa from central Anatolia.

🔃 This debut reflects Ankara's evolving geostrategic shift toward long-range ballistic systems for parity with neighbors like Iran, building on tactical assets such as Bora (280-300+ km range, solid-fuel short-range ballistic missile), Tayfun family including Block-4 (est. 1,000 km, solid-fuel with hypersonic potential), and Yıldırım series upgrades.

💡Experts highlight it as a qualitative leap from once-costly to tactically essential capabilities amid regional proliferation.
