IDEF-2019 l Updates, News & Discussion

So apparently it is Bora :)

I dunno, the canards look too big for a missile as big as Bora, plus they're almost the same shape as the TRG-122:

Official sources calling this as Turkish "Kaan"/ Export name "Khan", not Bora "Long range Ballistic Missile"!

It seems the lack of knowledge of TRT (or the company).

Khan's Turkish is not kaan, it is "Han".
Kaan means "Khagan". Khagan and Khan are two different title of the ruler. Khagan means "Khan of all Khans". For example, one Khaganate includes other small khanates, and if one khanate declared themselves Khaganate, it means a revolt to old Khaganate.

Beside this confusion, they are great missiles :P

I don't suppose Roketsan considers the correct Turkish meaning of the words to call a system like Kaan/Khan for export bro. It is the same story like calling same missile like Bora and Khan which is not related with eachother in terms of meaning. It is just about similarities of spelling I think.

Hold up now, lets get the measure of things; AFAIK Bora the missile itself has not been unveiled.

This is Yildirim

Bro. I can only guess or it is my wishful thinking. Assume the guys beside the missile are 180 x 3 =540cm could be the length of missile with approximate 1,5 meter diameter. Warhead 450 kg eqivalent to Yildirim, for me it seems as the domestic 800-1000 km BORA.

The word KHAN, I wrote before "it could be a message of Thanks" to Pakistan. Cause Pakistanis use Khan

Would such a ballistic missile require two stages to reach 800-1000km ?
