Once ignited, it follows a parabolic trajectory and travels out into space, often beyond the atmosphere's boundary.
Afterwards, it re-enters orbit and heads towards its targets with the high speed they have achieved due to gravity.
Ballistic missiles are very difficult to destroy because of the speed they gain after entering the atmosphere.
Few countries, especially the U.S. and Russia, have anti-ballistic missile technology.
There is currently no missile equivalent to Tayfun in the inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces.
An SRBM-class missile is of strategic importance, especially in terms of Türkiye's deterrence towards the Western and Eastern regions.
