Turkey tests TAYFUN Block-3 as anti-ship ballistic missile vs moving sea target

Türkiye reportedly achieved a direct hit with the TAYFUN Block-3 ballistic missile against a small moving maritime target, implying an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) capability. Hitting a moving sea target suggests a new/updated terminal guidance or seeker suitable for endgame tracking at hypersonic speeds, a notable step beyond standard land-attack ballistic missile use.
