BIG worry for India, as Turkey unveils first hypersonic ballistic missile, capable of destroying…

Tayfun Block-4, Türkiye’s first hypersonic ballistic missile, appeared in the cooperation of the rising geopolitical tension in South Asia and the growing Ankara-Islamabad Defense. Considering the latest military conflict with Pakistan after the terrorist attack, Development expresses its concerns for India. India has a good reason to closely monitor Türkiye’s developing military demands and its support to Pakistan, especially in the light of technological developments and strategic alliances in the region.

During the 2025 International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF) in Istanbul, Türkiye exhibited Tayfun Block-4, the first hypersonic ballistic missile. The missile created by the state -supported defense Major Roketsan is an important step towards Ankara’s expanding domestic weapon program.

The missile, which is already the longest range ballistic missile in Türkiye, is a hypersonic type of the original Tayfun. Today, according to Türkiye, the new block-4 model has a remarkable 800-kilometer range, weighs 2,300 pounds and measures 6.5 meters.

“Tayfun Block-4 gets long intervals by breaking another record for the Turkish Defense Industry. This new version of Tayfun, which is over 7 tons, can destroy a large number of strategic targets such as air defense systems, command and control centers, military hangars and critical military facilities,” he said.

Ankara can now target a new target class, increase strike skills to a great extent, and show the intention of being an important player in the global hypersonic arms race.

About hypersonic missile

Hypersonic slippage tools and hypersonic navigation missiles are often called ‘hypersonic’ missiles. It is extremely difficult to monitor and cut, because they are extremely sophisticated weapons that can move from the atmosphere of the earth at hypersonic speed.

MACH is five times the speed of the sound, the speed of moving hypersonic missiles (3,800 miles per hour, 6,100 kilometers per hour). However, researchers estimate that almost all ballistic missiles travel at hypersonic speeds, especially when they dive into their goals.

Türkiye-Pak Relations

Islamabad’s expanding defense relations with Türkiye became under investigation as the military tensions between India and Pakistan increased after the deadly expensive terrorist attack. The Indian Army claimed that Pakistan had attacked India using Bayraktar TB2 drones produced in Türkiye despite the rejection of any military transfer of Ankara and Islamabad.

Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh, at the beginning of this month, Army Personnel Assistant (Talent Development and Nutrition), “Turkey … They played an important role in providing his support type; Bayraktar gave. We saw that many drones came during the war.” He said.

During the conflict with India in May, he supported Islamabad in Ankara. According to the expanding defense sector, Türkiye founded itself as Pakistan’s reliable defense partner; İslamabad is already receiving drones and sea equipment from Türkiye.

When Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan went to Islamabad at the beginning of this month to strengthen cooperation in areas such as defense, economy, culture and education, the changing regional dynamics were also evident.
