Russian and Turkish servicemen conducted a joint patrol in northeastern Syria. The patrol was conducted within the framework of the provisions of the Russian-Turkish memorandum of understanding. The meeting of Russian and Turkish servicemen took place at the Sheyrek checkpoint. More than 40 servicemen of the armed forces of Turkey and Russia took part in the patrol. The column from the Russian side included armored vehicles "Tiger", "Typhoon" and "VPK-Ural", from the Turkish side - armored vehicles "Kirpi". From the air, the patrol was covered by Russian Ka-52 and Mi-8 helicopters. Technical information about the equipment is on the channel. The main objectives of the patrol were to control the situation in the region and prevent the resumption of the armed conflict. To this end, Russian and Turkish servicemen conducted a visual inspection of the area in a 10-kilometer zone

Spectacular footage of a Turkish F-4E Terminator 2000 fighter jet, made in the US, has been released. The F-4E Terminator 2000 fighter jet is in a special livery dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the aircraft's operation in the Turkish Air Force. The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter jet was created in the US in the late 1950s, and production of the aircraft was completed in 1981. The Turkish Air Force has been using F-4 fighter jets since 1974 and has upgraded the aircraft several times. F-4 aircraft are currently in service with the Air Forces of Iran, Greece, South Korea and Turkey.

Footage of the use of the TOLUN gliding guided aerial bomb by the Turkish ANKA III UAV, manufactured by Turkish Aerospace Industries. The ANKA-III UAV dropped the bomb and successfully hit the target from an altitude of 6,100 meters at a flight speed of 333 km/h. The TOLUN bomb is manufactured by Aselsan and has a flight range of about 100 km, the bomb weighs about 127 kg, the bomb is guided to the target using GPS signals and inertial navigation data. The ANKA 3 jet UAV is capable of carrying up to 1,200 kg of payload, with a flight range of up to 700 km and a cruising speed of up to 460 km/h.
Turkish company Roketsan has demonstrated the ALKA laser system designed to destroy drones. The ALKA air defense system uses lasers and electromagnetic waves to destroy drones. In the video, you can see the destruction of UAVs and FPVs using a laser and its use against a ground target. The power of the laser beam system is 20 kW. As previously reported, the laser is capable of shooting down drones at a distance of up to 750 meters, at a drone flight speed of no more than 150 km/h. The system creates interference at a distance of up to 4 kilometers. Technical data may change. The air defense system can detect up to 100 targets. The ALKA laser weapon system was first shown in 2019, it is planned to be used in the Steel Dome project of the Turkish air defense system.
Turkey has published footage of the testing of the new super-powerful GAZAP aerial bomb. The bomb weighs about 910 kg and was developed by Turkish companies MKE and Tubitak Sage. The GAZAP bomb is based on the Mk-84 bomb. The bomb has a thermobaric charge. The aerosol is sprayed, after which it detonates, the explosion creates a destructive shock wave and extreme temperatures. In addition to the thermobaric effect, the bomb is equipped with striking elements. The Mk84 Gazap bomb can be installed on F-4 and F-16 fighters.
Turkish twitter seems to be thrilled they have a "hypersonic" missile that can be launched from Hatay to strike Israel. All these countries with a moon and star on their flag are the same. 
Türkiye successfully conducts new live-fire test of Tayfun hypersonic ballistic missile
Türkiye successfully conducts new live-fire test of Tayfun hypersonic ballistic missile
- The missile is estimated to reach speeds of at least Mach 6, featuring a solid-propellant booster, a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV), and an operational range exceeding 1,000 km.
- Video analysis by Army Recognition also shows refinements in missile ejection and plume behavior, suggesting that the Tayfun uses a cold-launch method where the missile is expelled from the container before the main engine ignites. This technology reduces thermal signature and minimizes wear on the launch platform, further aligning the system with modern ballistic launch techniques observed in Chinese and Russian equivalents.
- Its hypersonic classification and potential WMD-delivery capacity may place it under the scrutiny of international arms control regimes, particularly the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), to which Türkiye is not a signatory.
mate this is quite literally just an extended range version of the pralay. The only difference is cold launch which the pralay might or might not have. its not clear but the pralay's canisterization is derived from the K series and they are cold launched.Turkish twitter seems to be thrilled they have a "hypersonic" missile that can be launched from Hatay to strike Israel.

The 1000km version is the block 4 which only got tested in like oct.
By that talk the pralay is also a hypersonic and yet india doesnt claim so. The most we get is that it can reach hypersonic speeds in the terminal phase.
Sure its sustained hypersonic flight(claimed*) and a MARV but thats quite literally just a pralay but instead of high super sonic midcourse and a hypersonic terminal its hypersonic the whole way.
A good weapon that will serve turkey well for its purposes but IS NOT A TRUE HYPERSONIC.
Hypersonic cruise missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles with hypersonic cruise missiles being the most sought after version.
Im sure @marich01 may knowsignificantly more about this topic than I do.

although I could be very wrong and this is considered a hypersonic weapon as well.
I know, I was being sarcastic putting hypersonic in quotes.
The paper "Complex Air Defense: Countering the Hypersonic Missile Threat" poses the following definition:

Bad reviews for Turkish 105 Boran artillery gun from Malaysia.
Too many corruption allegations against Turkish companies.
