Turkiye unveiled its Yildirimhan intercontinental hypersonic missile on the sidelines of the SAHA 2026 defence exhibition in Istanbul on Tuesday.
Turkish Defence Minister Yasar Guler said "We now have our country’s first liquid-fuelled missile capable of hypersonic flight, and it is the longest-range missile we have produced so far."
The Yildirimhan is designed to have an estimated range of around 6,000 kilometres. It uses liquid fuel based on nitrogen tetroxide and is powered by four rocket engines.
The SAHA 2026 International Defence, Aviation, and Aerospace Exhibition opened on Tuesday at the Istanbul Expo Centre and will run until May 9.
