Scale comparison

Scaled comparison — schematic drawings are derived from published dimensions, not technical drawings.

Schematic model

drag: rotate · wheel: zoom

The schematic look is deliberate: a photorealistic render would claim an accuracy we do not have. There is no cutaway, no exploded view and no internal component layout, because we have no sourced data on internal geometry. Labels name external sections only and each carries its own confidence level. The model is scaled from the published length and diameter; the proportions of the body and fins are not published figures, and the origin of each is set out in the shape record below. This is not a technical drawing.

The model is scaled from published measurements. The ratios that determine its shape are not published figures; each one states below where it came from. This is a statement of origin, not a confidence level.

0 measured · 0 reading · 10 chosen

Nose sectionchosen

A nose ratio common on ballistic missiles, tangent to the body. Not measured from any published image.

End of full-diameter sectionchosen

The last point at which the body keeps full diameter. Where the boattail begins is not in open sources; chosen for a readable silhouette.

Boattailchosen

Tail diameter as a fraction of body diameter. A slight taper was chosen; a sharp one would claim a shape we do not have.

Fin countchosen

A four-fin arrangement. The count is not a published statement, but the common layout in this class.

Fin root chordchosen

Fin root chord as a fraction of total length. Chosen; tail section proportions are not in open sources.

Fin taperchosen

Tip chord as a fraction of root chord. Chosen; leading-edge sweep derives from the two chords rather than being a separate ratio.

Fin trailing-edge rakechosen

The fin trailing edge stays perpendicular to the body axis, raking neither forward nor aft toward the tip. Chosen; the leading-edge sweep follows from this decision and the two chords rather than being held as a separate number.

Fin trailing-edge positionchosen

The fin trailing edge sits at the very tail of the body. Chosen; the tail section detail is not in open sources.

Fin spanchosen

Fin tip radius as a multiple of body radius. Chosen. Framing reads the same value; a model wider than this would have its fins clipped.

Fin thicknesschosen

Thickness as a fraction of LOCAL chord. Chosen; a thin plate keeps the schematic language. The previous version expressed it against body radius and gave constant thickness across the span; surfaces now thin with the chord, so the definition follows the chord and the drawn thickness is unchanged.

Programme timeline

  1. First test launchofficial

    Conducted from Rize-Artvin Airport.

  2. BLOK-4 announcedpress

    The larger-bodied version of the family was announced at IDEF 2025.

  3. Public unveilingofficial

    The system was presented to the public for the first time.

  4. Delivery ceremonypress

    BLOK-4 was displayed at a ROKETSAN facility opening.

Correction log

  1. sourceprevious value MoND / ROKETSAN open data; Turkish MoND official statementnew value ROKETSAN TAYFUN product card, 2024 catalogue

    Length, diameter, mass, range and CEP were attributed to a Turkish MoND statement. The primary document was found: all five figures appear verbatim on ROKETSAN's TAYFUN product card. The attribution now points at the document, with its version and our access date on the record.

  2. Rangeprevious value > 280 km (official)new value > 280 km (official, declared) and 561 km (press, measured in a test)

    The distance covered in the 2022 test launch was added to the record. It does not measure the same thing as the declared maximum range, so it is marked as different scope rather than a contradiction. It carries no official confirmation.

  3. Guidanceprevious value GNSS / INSnew value Coordinate guidance system; resistant to jamming

    The phrase “GNSS / INS” does not appear on the product card; it was an attribution error published under the official badge. The value now uses the card's own wording.

  4. Lengthprevious value ~ 10 m (TAYFUN BLOK-4, press measurement)new value ~ 10 m (TAYFUN BLOK-4, IDEF 2025 presentation)

    The figure was recorded as if measured at the trade show. It was a figure announced during the presentation; the scope was corrected from third-party measurement to declared.

  5. Diameterprevious value no recordnew value ~ 938 mm (TAYFUN BLOK-4, press)

    The figure had been removed because its source was a “press compilation”. It is now tied to a concrete event, the IDEF 2025 presentation. A single publication name and link are still missing, so the confidence stays at press.

  6. Massprevious value no recordnew value ~ 7,200 kg (TAYFUN BLOK-4, press)

    Removed for the same reason and restored against the same event. Sources vary between 7,200, 7,300 and “over 7 tonnes”; the “~” band covers that spread.

  7. Rangeprevious value ≤ 1,000 km (TAYFUN BLOK-4, estimate)new value no record

    This was not the only independent estimate in circulation: assessments reaching up to 3,000 km exist, as do sources that say the figure was not disclosed. Picking one estimate and hiding the rest breaks the rule this file is built on. The field stays empty until all of them can be entered with their sources.

  8. Rangeprevious value > 280 km (official) and > 500 km (press)new value > 280 km (official)

    The “> 500 km” figure carried no publication name, date or link; a “press compilation” is the absence of a source, not a source. Removed from the record until a concrete source is found.

  9. Diameterprevious value ~ 938 mm (TAYFUN BLOK-4, press)new value no record

    The source was a “press compilation”: no publication name, date or link. We also have no record that the figure came from the same IDEF 2025 measurement as the length, so the sources were not merged. Removed from the record until a concrete source is found.

  10. Massprevious value ~ 7,200 kg (TAYFUN BLOK-4, press)new value no record

    The source was a “press compilation”: no publication name, date or link. Mass cannot be measured from a trade show display, so it cannot be assumed to rest on a measurement either. Removed from the record until a concrete source is found.
