History

Turkey has been expanding its domestic missile programme through ROKETSAN for over two decades, producing short-range systems such as the Bora/Khan (280 km). CENK represents an alleged step toward medium-range capability. No official Turkish government programme has been publicly confirmed as of 2026.
