Note that in terms of deterrence, ballistic missiles are critical, having a much larger payload than cruise missiles and also cannot be blocked by classical air defence systems due to their speed and flight path.

Contrary to some media claims, Roketsan did not receive any external support in developing the TAYFUN short-range ballistic missile, it was entirely developed by Roketsan engineers in terms of both technically and using domestic components.
