According to a former Admiral, Tayfun Block 4 has a range of 1800km and Cenk 3000km:

There’s a reason why none of the experienced, knowledgeable Turkish members in the community share clips of these TV clowns and their ludicrous claims.

Trust me, whenever you hear about them, just dismiss them outright. For many years they have made thousands of claims that make even an outsider/observer question their intelligence, knowledge, and even their competence during active service. The fact that they now make their living through TV appearances tells you quite a lot about them.

Oh and FYI, he left the service six years ago. As a retired admiral, he does't know jack shit about any recently developed systems (at least not much more than the rest of us), let alone the specs of a land-based MRBM.

At best he might hear a thing or two about naval systems, but when it comes to equipment of the other branches, he’s completely out of the loop.

Are you implying that there is also a Turkish tier list of military watching credibility?
There are tiers to CCTV7 programs. Highest tier are interviews with chief designers/engineers. Second tier is interview with actual operators of weapons like pilots and soldiers, commanders. Third tier is ex PLA experts who have served in technical roles. Bottom tier will be “experts” who analyze “conflict of the week” (usually international news), some of whom are renowned members of the strategic foo-you agency back when that was still a thing.

Turkey should be happy that Israel and Iran, two the most regional rivals, fight and spend valuable war capital on weakening each other, while turkey gains strength unimpeded. This would also give some time to turkey to establish defense infrastructure in Syria while others are busy.

We are already gaining something. Fallen missile parts are sold as scrap within the hour by nearby villagers.

More info:

"Not for a single order, but brought to life entirely through the vision of the Baykar team and our own resources.
Its cost is approximately 1/50th compared to conventional military guided munitions with equivalent range!
Even more importantly, it offers much faster serial production capability and high production capacity compared to similar systems... Kamikaze, but actually not a single-use platform either... An intelligent, reusable system that can drop its munition and return if desired."
