Bro all of us woory about many things on our navy. Biggest 2 problem of our surface fleet is ;
1- Frigates old age's
2- Lack Of Air Defence Frigate.
1- Frigates old age :
G- class age is around 37-39, Yavuz class 31-33 years old. We need 12 brand new ship just in 10 year for retain our navy up to date and strong.
2- Lack Of Air Defence Frigate : Whe want have not any tf-2000 before than 2026-2028. But we need immidietly him just because east-med is warm and there is very big air launched anti-ship missile danger in here to our fleets.
But we cant build more ships like that. Due shipyard problems, workforce problems, economical problems. Etc.
--------------------------------------------
But we can organize our fleet very smartly. With help of just one type missile.
How ?
All of yours know that we have ships who carry vls but their numbers doesnt enough for to be air defence frigate. And also Thanks Allah our ships carry tactical lenght 6.8 mt quadpack capable vls tubes ;
So we need 6.8 metered but max 260mm diametered long range air defence missile. And we have not much time for new missile. So for this reason missile could be 2 staged boostered missile just because our aa or sam missile ranges lower than 100-120 km. Using for first core missile section there are two options ; one of them Gökdoğan bvr and G-40 sam.
G-40 still in development but Gökdoğan very close to finish his test. On the other hand G-40 would be heavier than gökdoğan. So we can use gökdoğan bvr.
Gökdoğan : 65 km range ( big probaply more), lenght 3-3.5, Weight 100-110 kg around (same range capable mica rf weight is 112 kg)
There are three option for booster section ;
Trg-230 rocket section : they carry 100 kg around (warhead + guidance and subsystems) to 35 km range and 20 km altitude and they freefall another 35 km to target. Total Missile Lenght : x Speed : Mach 4.2
Sage-230 rocket section : they carry 83 kg around (warhead + guidance and subsystems) to 50 km range and 25 km altitude and they freefall another 50 km to target. Total Missile Lenght : 4.1m Speed : Mach 4.2
Sage-260 rocket section : they carry 83 kg around (warhead + guidance and subsystems) to 80 km range and 40 km altitude and they freefall another 80 km to target. Total Missile Lenght : 4.8m Speed : Mach 4.2+
İn a bad condition we use him with trg-230 booster ; booster reach him 20 km alttitude and 35 km range with mach 4 speed class, after that he can deattach the booster and contiune the way with another min 65 km with his own engine in total 100 km range.
But
All of us know possible attackers rafale, f-16, mirages, ef, su-27's etc. doesnt reach more than 15 km alttitude when they are loaded with weapons etc. So if we organize hims flight profile to max 15 km alltitude big probaply missile will reach to 110-120 km range. 3.5 meter + 2.-2.5 meter booster total 5-6 meter lenght. We can hit from 120 km aircrafts who carrier of possible air launched exoceet, harpoon and kh-35 and kh-31 active radar seekered anti ship missiles.
Possible for of missile ;
---------------------------------
Just if we achieve this we can deploy 32x from this missile to our 4 genesis-smart-s and vls modded gabya's to hims 8x vls's. And him can carry 32x sm-1 for mid range engagements and also him have phalanx. His 250 km ranged smart-s mk2 radar enough for run that kind of missiles. Aster-30 loaded freem-aaw versions run aster-30 with a herakles radar who same capable radar with smart-s mk2 . But maybe we must be change fire control radar with aselsan akr-d for midcourse guide but that is a not important thing.
So we have 4 aaw frigate (32x siper blok1 and 32x sm-1 ) with this move. Without any modernization.
------------------------------
Also we can complete to barbaros modernization program and gain 4 modern asuw frigate. I dont prefered Barbaros for aaw role just because stabilization problems of his vls's overload.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, still we need a asuw frigates for replacement. For this reason we need to convert our milgems. Jus because our milgems heaviear for corvette and his range and capablities enough for mediterranian frigate. He can be capable make a operation on aden strait. But he need a medium range air defence missile for againts penguin and sea skua launcher carrier helicopters and destroy anti ships from long distance.
There is a very good space for 16x quadpack launcher in the front of the milgem. Yeah maybe mk-41 vls doesnt fit here, half of him must burry into hull but we dont know what they are. But for cold launch launcher we can set his tube sizes freely and we dont need burry him to hull we can setup his to front freeley. 16x cold launcher for g-40 or hisar-0 rf+ can fit to front easily. Just think only square on the floor of one missile. 16x can fit.
Like britishs did in type-23's ;
And 16x sam could be enough for ships self defence with ram.
-------------------------------------
And last one , we need 4x new 70-80 metered Anti-Submarine Corvette the behalf of milgems . Just because we changed his roles. Dearsan Turkmen class corvettes very good for this role. Their unit cost will be nothing more than 200m dollar total 800m dolar (not more than 1x tf-2000). Big advantage of him we can build 4x for him just with our small shipyard dearsan, rmk marine, and maybe yonca onuk.
-------------------------------------
So build plan of main surface vessels until 2026-2028
İstanbul Shipyard : 1x Tf-2000, 4x Milgem sam modernization, 4x Barbaros Mlu Modernization.
3 Shipyard firms of Tais : serial production of 3x istanbul class.
Dearsan, Rmk Marine, Yonca Onuk : 4x Turkmen Class Anti submarine corvette.
-------------------------------------
Fleet Sizes :
2021-2022
4x Main Modern Fleet :
4x Quadpack Siper Capable Gabya AAW
8x Meko ASW
4x Milgem Anti Submarine Warfare
Support Fleet :
4x Genesis gabya aaw/asuw
6x burak class asw
2025-2026:
Main Fleet :
4x İstanbul Class AAW ( with s band version of çafrad çfr - he can also carry 32x quadpack siper + 32x g-40 in his 16x vls)
4x Barbaros Mlu ASUW
4x Milgem Vls ASUW
4x Turkmen Class ASW
Support Fleet :
4x Gabya (Until they sink)
4x Meko (Until they sink)
2028+
7x TD-2000 AAW
10x İstanbul ASUW
4x Milgem Vls ASUW
7x Turkmen Class ASW
---------------
2022-2023 Fleet will gives us a breathe and 2025-2026 can give us regional control.
