Is it possible to see 25mm Naval CIWS on Barbaros class since the upgrade consists of 2X STOP 25mm?

Are there big differences between Korkut25 CIWS with naval STOP25mm?
Why would not STOP use ATOM ammunition?

Burst mode: Rate of fire 600 per minute. Semi auto 200.
Ammunition capacity dual feed 250

Is new 25mm cal naval CIWS on the way?

Speaking of the Barbaros, what's the latest situation of this upgrade programme, does anyone know ? Thanks.

@UkroTurk i guess it's just a matter of adding software/quad aura/muzzle sensor/loading 25mm atom cartridge type of situation. Anmdt knows better...

 

[Aqerdf]

Would waste already marinized turret i guess. Together with extra purchasing cost for new turret.

Greatest naval excersice in our history is coming.

If everything goes to plan, by 2040 Turkish Navy will consist of:

Aircraft Carrier​

• 1 (MUGEM aircraft carrier)

Amphibious Assault Ships​

• 2 (TCG Anadolu + TCG Trakya)

Destroyers​

• 12 (Including TF-2000 class destroyers and general-purpose destroyers)

Frigates​

• 28 (Combination of Barbaros, I-class frigates, and some future platforms)

Corvettes​

• 4 (Ada-class corvettes)

Offshore Patrol Vessels​

• 16 (Combination of Tuzla-class, and Hisar-class OPVs)

Assault Ships​

• 19 (Includes various fast attack craft and gunboats)

Submarines​

• 20 (Combination of Gür-class, Reis-class, MILDEN-class submarines)
• 5 STM500
• 10 TRANCA Mini Submarines

This would comfortably make the Turkish navy the best in Europe (probably by 2035), and 3rd or 4th in the world, behind USA, China, and on the same level as Japan.

You can't have the best navy in Europe without SSNs fleet. There is no alternative to it.

This list is not official, take it with salt.

 

[Scott Summers]

We also need a contingent of militairy hovercrafts and ekranoplans, for quick landings on the isles in the Aegean when Greece decides to stretch up their nautical miles.

And offcourse modern unmanned Zeppelin bombers for deterrence and psychological warfare.

@Anmdt
The submarine design is round about 100 years old. Are we working on a new submarine design or is their any interest for a new Turkish submarine design?

Turkish Navy is now the world’s 10th largest navy by aggregate tonnage as of January 2025, replacing Indonesian Navy from last year.

TCG Oruçreis will join the Mavi Vatan-2025 exercise, most of her new equipment after the MLU will be used for the first time.

Atmaca launchers of Oruçreis, seen for the first time up close. They have a sleeve like overlay on the middle section, covering most of the electronics and cabling possibly against corrosion from salt water. Checking old photos, I see that ones on Istanbul also have them, but not on Kınalıada.

Would it kill them to upload an actual high resolution photo for such an important family shot?

TAIS consortium started keel laying of Milgem-9 (İstif-5).

I expect at least 2 Istif to be launched next year(Milgem-9 and 10) and another 2 in 2027(11 and 12), and all of them to be fully commissioned before the end of 2028.

Picture of Milgem-8 (İstif-4). I don't know if this is a recent photo.

Milgem corvettes near the age of MLU upgrade.

Instead of upgrading those Milgems, ain't it better to turn them into "Hisar class" OPV and build 4 new I-class to replace them

No...They have gas turbine.

 

[Nutuk]

So? Let 4 of them remain with a small difference.

I think instead of putting money into:
4x MLU upgrade on the Milgem
+ buildng 4 Hisar class

Why not build 4 brandnew I-class
+ downgrade the 4 Milgem corvettes to OPV (instead of building 4 Hisar)

Would cost approx same amount of money

Our navy would gain and have 12x standardized I-class frigates

add to that 8 TF2000

And have a solid navy of 20 frigates

Do we have any info about MLU intention for Ada class?

Maybe using this configuration as much as possible and reclass them to OPV's(like Burak class) is the intention.
