More than Umtas, a Yalman launcher. Add 4 Umtas-GMs on it, would be a great NLOS weapons platform for shallow seas against anything smaller than a corvette.
TBH I never liked that location for Yalmans. Would steal from Gökdeniz's operating angle. Maybe at the back, behind RCWS? Or maybe it's time they go for a gun+missile approach.
Messy
InfoDefensa again? I haven't clicked the link and i may tell it is them. A bit unreliable and exaggerates existing information bits.
Piece is from November 7, around the time we discussed it. So nothing new.
Okay, that's clear. Probably an echo of the baseless speculation here.Piece is from November 7, around the time we discussed it. So nothing new.

It was TN that increased the size of the platform, with additional requirements for space and equipment, which led to a decrease in the maximum speed. It's like "Oops, it got too big, let's make it smaller again".
Wording is interesting. It's of course unofficial in its tone so maybe not smart to take a meaning from there but he says "a larger Anadolu" and "an aircraft carrier". Length itself doesn't mean much. America Class also come about at 260 meters. Kaga is about 250.Commander of Turkish Naval Forces Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu:
"Work is continuing on the development of a 260-280m aircraft carrier, which is larger than the TCG Anadolu, for our Naval Forces."

Issue of the new type FAC has been going on for years. Maybe a doctrine change is afoot and they can't make up their minds on what a future small combatant should look like?
Honestly I'd love if we did something with similar tonnage and weapons load to Karakurt Class corvette, so that they would be able to operate further in east med even without frigates and heavy corvette like ada class that's used like frigate by export customers. Don't know if smaller and faster is the right way to go
He also adds that new Amphibious Assault Ships (maybe Landing Ships?) are in the queue. I'm not quite sure if this is a reference to the acquisition of older LSTs, or if it's a reference to additional ships.Commander of Turkish Naval Forces Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu:

It is in the Bermuda Triangle; SSB - MSB - TN. The files go round in circles for years and years waiting for an answer to opinions and views.
TTAB is TTHB in English, MPAC is STM's design that can be modified to suit the customer's needs.
This type of indecision and bureaucracy has made us lose too much time on too many projects.
Which one of these would be best for us in your opinion?
I mean, there's not much you can do about this. TN has its own ideas in its own future. MSB has the job of managing the budget they are allocated fully and to the best of its capabilities for all branches. SSB has the mission of maximizing defence sector participation and needs so that it can survive and cherish. This is the best case scenario where there's no petty infighting. And over the years we've seen that there's plenty of infighting to go around. What's a better way?
