Shouldn't these tests be conducted before the ship to enter inventory?
Not necessarily, Ship and the VLS probably have different testing schedules. But 14 months have passed since the first MIDLAS test and it is yet to be test fired on a ship, so we can assume Istanbul won't be a fully combat ready ship for a long while.

1st replacement, so far. OPVs are equipped by another product, developed locally. (Sonitus & HeliPlat).
It gets even more interesting.
"STM signed a supply contract with Altınay for ASIST's indigenous version. Project started under the main contractorship of Altinay. The news about subcontractors such as Sonitus (which developed and delivered the rail unit) caused confusion. Ultimately, acceptance was completed under the main contractorship of Altınay."

Yeah, that is exactly what they are trying to do. It takes time.

I may have mentioned it somewhere in this thread, but there are two distinct projects being run by ASFAT and SSB.

Ground tests could have been conducted. But need to test integration with the radar in real conditions.
Watch this videos if you have free time.
They explained very well.

This is a separate project run by ASFAT (Contracted to group of companies and i only know of Sonitus), STM&Altınay's project is altogether different.

Good news from SSB about SAPAN Air Defense Missile

Making a speech at the ceremony, Defense Industry President Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün announced that the SAPAN Air Defense Missile will soon enter the inventory. SAPAN was developed by Roketsan based on the HİSAR-RF Air Defense Missile used in the HİSAR-O+ Air Defense System. The SAPAN Missile, which will be fired from the National Vertical Launch Launcher System (MIDLAS) integrated into the TCG İSTANBUL Frigate (F-515), has also been made suitable for naval combat conditions.

In that case if the tweet I quoted is correct, Sonitus is both leading its own project and is also a subcontractor for Altınay.

The source was unclear about the contractors involved in the projects*. Sonitus provided the rail components for ASFAT's projects** in collaboration with Berkin Engineering, who was responsible for the sensor-control systems, and HeliPlat, who handled the integration (With three, it made the whole). It is my understanding that Altınay's mechanical contractor was not Sonitus.

*The source also appears to be unaware of two separate projects. It is literally like who on earth launches two simultaneous projects to replace ASIST.

**You may also check the news about this. They clarify that the systems were supplied for the ADKG project.

In his speech, President will certainly once again underline the aircraft carrier goal. This time, however, he may perhaps share a few interesting tidbits about a speculated issues related to the MILDEN program.

Looks more like just the missiles, which can be fired from MIDLAS.
Is the 2nd longest missile in that box maybe GEZGIN?

It is MILDAS model. VLS hatches are open while missiles are climbing up.

How can it be a MIDLAS model, when you can only see the hatches? Like i wrote before, it shows the missiles, which can be fired from MIDLAS.
