As you know my first dream.

YTKB with Gökdeniz CIWS. P
Why is it important? Because YTKBs are like workhorse against submarine dedection in Turkish shore.
With Mar-D x band radar , we could enhance Air defense umbrella at lowest level.
Putting it top of the vessel, you could get 360degree cover from any angle of Cruise missiles and Anti-ship missile attacks.
I also would like to add two launcher of mid range Anti-ship missiles.
The new Stinger variant could be add.
I added cirit in photo but i'm not sure it would be necessary with twin forty against helicopters.
Long in short: we have 16 YTKBs with Gökdeniz CIWS and Atmaca missiles they would cover Turkish Coastal defense under the sea either over the sea.
Gökdeniz cost and ammunitions must be cheaper than SAMs systems.
CIWS is much more efficient than expensive RAMs for point defense.
Yours doesnt have decent air defence system. Just a radar.This is my ideal variant

Now it is okay with two korkut Compact!Something the Israelis would even be jealous of

Could hover tanks especially unmanned ones perhaps be the weapons of the future???
Definitely once we figure out a more economic means of propulsion with any energy storage being very dense.
Energy density of current conventional fuels (to power lift turbines and fans etc) really limits this approach currently.
I think it's similarly important that we make our claim on all those 150+ islets/islands. And plant smart surveillance system and sensors.
I would have given the damn order!

Unfortunately it doesnt work against waves.
How about a ground-effect vehicle?
Yes they aren't suitable for naval patrols, or any non-wartime use at all. This is due to the likelihood of striking a ship which is in the way.
However in the event of a naval conflict I think a ground-effect vehicle armed with anti-ship missiles could wreak havoc on an incoming fleet.
I'm not an expert on missiles, however I would imagine that a ground-effect vehicle would be difficult to hit due to its low flight altitude and sheer speed.
An unmanned ground-effect vehicle blitzing westwards in the Mediterranean could destroy a significant amount of vessels in a very short amount of time.
Though somewhat impractical, I do believe they can give an edge to any navy if used correctly.
Unfortunately it doesnt work against waves.
The greeks will just remove the flags.There are 150 islands ,we could rise our flag before constructing new lighthouse.
A large ground-effect vehicle should be able to handle most of the conditions it'll face in the Mediterranean.
It's not personel consept. Turkish ship builder prepared all details which we dreaming for Türkmenistan but ours ignored this configuration.
In order to put otomat ASMs, they moved anti-submarine deep charge launcher to front. They also added french simbad SAM as point defence.

Now am i crazy for desiring Gökdeniz CIWS and Atmaca missiles on the craft?
