I still think this is Tayfun B4
It's got the same large structural ribs and its name was obscured.
And the flame of the SR-1 was nicely split during launch
It being based on SR-1 makes me suspicious that it's is the Tayfun-4It's got the same large structural ribs and its name was obscured.

Its Cenk m8. The canister's exactly the same down to the tiniest details as the one we saw in that brief snippet three years ago.
Also, Cenk isn’t longer than Tayfun B4, but it has a much thicker diameter.
We know nothing about them, they might share canisters.Its Cenk m8. The canister's exactly the same down to the tiniest details as the one we saw in that brief snippet three years ago.

Again, SR lineage was used to test components for Tayfun family, so wouldn't be surprised if what Roketsan "unveiled" is the Tayfun-4
Second serially produced, delivery-bound Kizilelma undergoing test flights…

What's the relationship between Siper and likely SAMP/T NG procurement?
Same class systems...
Turkey has tried numerous times to procure and take part in the co-development of the SAMP/T NG since the cancellation of T-LORAMIDS, but the French have consistently hindered these efforts.
First ABM tests of the upcoming Siper Block 3 are expected around 2029, and operational deployment would happen even later. Considering the four decades old regional ballistic missile threat, they are exploring their chances to see if a stopgap procurement would be possible, since TR-FR relations are slightly better nowadays.
The Commander of the Navy recently said they have also accelerated the TF-2000 destroyer program, and the 2nd and 3rd ships are going to begin construction soon.
Perhaps they only want to acquire the missile and integrate it with the ship’s CMS and sensors?
