Since MİLDEN will come somewhat late, we should consider short-range SLBM capability with TAYFUN. Either a larger MİDLAS or a smaller TAYFUN missile.
The ship seems butterface to me, got superb first half, but rear half seems like done as a scratch. There seems a lot of things that will go through correction in the rear half. Also not very pleased with removing Nazar system on the aft. This should have been the design passed as conceptual design and now going through contract / functional design phase. I think we will see the final version somewhere in SAHA Expo.
ASFAT won't design TF-2000. ASFAT has no such capability. I don't know if there is anyone other than ARMERKOM that can design an AAW destroyer but certainly not ASFAT. It is like saying Kayseri tank maintenance facility will design Altay.
They designed monkey sections of the İstif class to gain experience and oversaw construction work after ARMERKOM designed most of the ship and passed it to others.
i would rather ramjet/scramjet missilesIt has already been said that MILDEN will come with such a capability, it will be up to Roketsan (and indirectly SSB who will fund the project) to make these missiles and launchers compatible with the given space/volume. In short term it is for Gezgin, but if Navy is interested in MRBM capability, it can be incorporated as well.
Deputy Minister of National Defense and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of our subsidiary ASFAT AŞ, Bilal Durdalı, Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral İbrahim Özdem Koçer and board members visited the Naval Forces Design Project Office Directorate and designed the "TF-2000 Air Defense Warfare Destroyer". He examined his work on site.
Is "Naval Forces Design Project Office Directorate" ARMERKOM?
Does Turkiye aslo have or has been worked on the tech that can lunch missiles from underwater from submarines? I never heard about such projects but its so important about submatines capabilities like Milden .It has already been said that MILDEN will come with such a capability, it will be up to Roketsan (and indirectly SSB who will fund the project) to make these missiles and launchers compatible with the given space/volume.

I love the flexible payload approach in the design of this ship. Although we have seen some changes in the superstructure, especially in the main mast, the design approach has never compromised this. The current one has almost the capacity of a mini-LPD. Multiple containers capacity and power infrastructure can be provided, multiple unmanned surface and underwater vehicles and systems can be deployed, multiple crane systems for launching and retrieval, multiple RHIB boats can be used in this section, and the integrated hangar structure will allow more than two rotary wing platforms to be carried inside the ship. A ship being designed with this capacity will certainly offer additional living quarters and operational areas.

İt is earlier design

It was planned in March 2023 (18th), i must have said it back then but the facility also requires an upgrade, likely this process was delayed therefore the construction of test block.From MSB(MoD) 2023 annual report:
"Within the scope of the MİLDEN Project, which will be carried out at Gölcük Shipyard Command, the construction of the Test Block is planned to start in 2024, and construction activities are planned to start in 2025."
Test block was originally slated to be built from 2023, which was later revised to 2024 few months back. Defence Turkey mentions this month.

Probably Hisar"4 Ada-class Corvettes in Inventory (to be overhauled in the near future for air defense capability)"
Akbaba mentions Ada Class corvettes are to be retrofitted(?) with a new air defence system. Any ideas on what it is?
