Türkiye’s Marlin USV enhances capabilities with new 8-tube launcher.​

In previous tests, Marlin could only fire a single Kuzgun missile. However, thanks to the new launcher, Marlin can fire 8 missiles at the same time.

I wish the ASW rocket launcher on the stern deck of Tuzla Class Patrol boats could be positioned further inwards, the mine shedding rails could be positioned portably and a 25 ton capacity crane (or towing system) and USV transport cradle could be replaced according to the type of mission. We have 16 Tuzla type patrol boats. In this way, Armed type Unmanned Surface Vehicles can be launch, and launched very quickly on these boats. The boats that are resupplied and maintained in these patrol boats can be made ready again before they arrive at the base, increasing both the mission radius and the endurance of the unmanned boats. I assume that there are sufficient technical facilities and space inside the patrol boat for additional operator consoles.

According to MEE, Turkey is "planning to deploy two frigates and additional auxiliary ships" in Somalia to guard Orucreis survey ship which will be deployed to Somalia next month.

Turkey to deploy frigates to guard energy exploration ship in Somalia

Ankara will send Oruc Reis research vessel to Somali waters next month to conduct energy exploration activities and naval ships to protect it

This is almost 15% of our frigate force. Hisars can't come quick enough.

Will they pass from the Red Sea? If so, it will be interesting to watch.

Doubt it, but we'll see. 2 Tuzlas that were sent to Qatar recently were transported on a ship that traversed Good Hope. Maybe they'll run the gauntlet, it would be interesting to watch. In that case, I'd expect at least one Gabya to be sent. If they'll traverse, both probably will be Gabyas.

TSK needs to buy more Zahas for the Amphibious Corps and for the Aegean Army units near the coastline. There are countless islands inside the 15nm range. Zahas can be used independently without the need of LSTs or ships like TCG Anadolu for those near coast islands.

 

[Knowledgeseeker]

Is there any chance that we will see a heavier turret on the Zaha vehicles?

Doubt it for the time being, navy wanted the 40mm+50 cal combo as it gives the most ammo+ area effect. Surely FNSS can add another RCWS per customer needs if required as Caka RWS is not that special, maybe save for being a bit navalized. I don't see why Protector 50cal+Javelin or Trakon 30mm couldn't be installed.

I highly doubt it but we might see light turrets with higher caliber like Venom LR 30mm.

 

[uçuyorum]

The weight of zaha turret is limited due to its amphibious characteristics. It would lose its balance or submerge too much otherwise

Is there no project to make amphibious assault wholly unmanned? An unmanned LST-like ship carrying unmanned IFVs would be a great idea as the initial taking of a bridgehead is one of the riskiest of all combat situations, so a great candidate for becoming unmanned.

An amphibious assault is one of the most complex military undertakings there are, where every thing is working against attacker's disadvantage. Unmanned systems may help share the burden in 15-20 years, but I don't see it ever being unmanned to be honest.

2 years ago Aselsan showed m113 variants that could carry 2-3 Aselsan Aslan light UGV and charge the at the same time which could work for 7 hours with its electrical power.

THIS SHIP WILL BE TURKEY’S LARGEST COMBATANT WARSHIP

[UkroTurk]

Guys on internet everybody says :"soon we will see Göksur in TN"

Does Anybody know which warship will have it? Since Göksur is totally autonomous and replaceable, Could Göksur revive air defense capacity of old frigates for instance Gabya class?

South Korea did an exercise last year

it was including six warships, three aircraft, three assault amphibious vehicles, and around 30 unmanned surface vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles

Phases were as follows;

- UAVs scouting the landing area

-USVs carrying out mine-hunting operations to eliminate possible underwater threats

-UAVs conducting strikes on simulated enemy targets

-suicide drones attacking coastal artillery.

-troops entering the target area with helicopters, assault amphibious vehicles and landing craft

It was more a demo show than an actual drill at the sidelines of MADEX 2023 in Busan.

Dunno how the camera guys managed to use such a wide angle lens that even our big ass Marado (Dokdo class ship) looks like a RC toy in the background. Everyone was joking about it.

The MUM-T program with various USV, UAV, UUV called Navy Sea GHOST (네이비 씨 고스트) is a serious future concept.

I mean, this is how you make stylish PR clips by Hanwha for Sea Ghost USV.

Sadly Hanwha lost the Navy tender to LIG Nex1 range of various Sea Sword USVs.
