Istanbul, 18 October 2022 (dpa/MIA) - Turkey has test-fired a locally developed short-range ballistic missile over the Black Sea, state broadcaster TRT reported on Tuesday. The missile was fired from a platfrom at an airport in the Black Sea coastal town of Rize at 6:50 am (0330 GMT), private news agency Demirören reported. The missile, dubbed "Tayfun," flew 561 kilometres to hit a target off the coastal city of Sinop, according to a Demirören footage, also shared by local media. That means double the range of the country's previously known domestic missile "Bora." Turkey's Defence Industry Agency was not immediately available to comment. Turkey has in recent years ramped up efforts to build its own defence products and has various projects under way from an indigenous battle tank to an unmanned fighter jet. NATO member Turkey acquired the Russian S-400 missile defence system in 2017, drawing criticism from the alliance. The US excluded Ankara from jointly developing and buying the F-35 stealth fighter jet as a result.
