France is getting concerned about growing Capabillities of turkish Navy.
In the event of a very high threat of war and if Turkiye feels the source of this threat in the seas, that is the situation turns into a matter of life and death, Turkiye is about to reach the infrastructure to start building 6-8 main combatants, including submarines and large displacement warships, 6-8 patrol / fast missile boats and 6-8 logistic/support/auxilary vassels,
simultaneously. Most of us already know which facilities have which abilities to give details about each shipyard, so I will not go into these technical details.
But one thing need know that, Turkish shipyards can alone hold a very significant portion of the total military vessel production of the European continent if we manage correctly these years. We are in a good position in terms of shipyard technical personnel, subcontractors, shipyard infrastructure and technical facilities.
On the economical look, Turkish naval ship sectors will start to squeeze Italian, French and German counterparts in all of emerging economic zones around world, no longer just in specialized civilian or coaster vessels etc, but in high-tech value-added naval ship production, which is now largely linked to the national security of the client countries.
That is, real problem, is not only the annual steel processing capacity and the number of blocks produced by our shipyards, which are capable of producing at military standards and are directly military in nature, but also the formation of a very large eco-system at 'European standards' covering the equipment, electronics and weapon systems required by military ships of almost all classes. If you analyze the cost of a ship, the main contribution is not in the production of the hull and related engineering; the main cost factor is in the equiping. In period we are in: there is only one blind spot left, propulsion systems, which will not remain so for long.
As a result, they can try to limit a military force whose system procurement is based on foreign purchases, and whose doctrinal activities are shaped by these purchases, by putting a barrier element in between. However, when this element is no longer content with meeting its own needs through domestic means, but becomes capable of producing its own technology and procuring systems specific to its doctrinal designs, and when its production capacity catches up with and surpasses the production centers on the other side of the barrier, the traditional equation will no longer be valid and it will be a matter of time before it becomes obsolete.
