And the other boots continue to fall around the Middle East. I wonder what sort of warhead they hope to acquire to go with these........

As an aside, I also wonder if they got help with the technology from the Israeli's before their relations went sour?

AW&ST (The World Feb 13th Issue): Turkish IRBM

In a sharp turn of policy, Turkey has decided to develop a 2,500-km-range (1560mi) ballistic missile within the next two years. Yucel Altunbasak, head of Turkey's state Scientific Research Institute, said that the missile is being developed under a request from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey will test fire a 1,500-km-range missile this year, according to Altunbasak. Publicly officials have not explained why Turkey needs an intermediate range ballistic missile.
