Submarine-Launched ATMACA Hits Moving and Static Targets | TURDEF

Submarine-Launched variant of ATMACA anti-ship missile, AKATA, successfully hit moving sea targets and a static land targets during its recent firing test.

turdef.com

Submarine launched Atmaca, also-known-as Akata , has been successfully launched, hitting moving sea targets and stationary land targets.
This has shown that the Akata missile can be used as an anti ship missile as well as being used against targets on land. It can be launched from subs at a depth of 15 to 60 metres, whilst preserving the 250+km range of the original Atmaca missile.

Guys, is this submarine in use or a museum piece?

Izmir frigate launched. A very important milestone for Turkish private shipyards

İzmir and İzmit's fitting out is going nicely.

Looks like on the mast, only the Cenk radars are missing. For İzmir, 2026H1 is aimed, for İzmit it should be 2026H2 or early 2027 with İçel to follow by late 2027. This seems to fit the 36 months program that was signed in January 2023.

Alot of sensors and equipent are mounted ın them but those dates H1/H2 2026 are for sea trials or acrive duty ?

Transfer to navy ownership, "commissioning". Program aim is to deliver them to the navy.

This seems to fit the 36 months program that was signed in January 2023.

Not according to my calculations. If we take the steel cutting and not the signing as starting date:

First steel cutting for the TCG Izmir, Izmit and icel were done on 23rd April 2023. 36 months makes it , all ships to be delivered on 22nd April 2026!

they were boasting that all 3 ships were to be ready together. Your timeline stretches to 2027?. So in essence they are late by over a year for the program to finish.

Yeah you're right i think. Only İzmir will probably be delivered within the timeline. They weren't saying all ships would be delivered together but back to back within few months of each other, still, delayed.

MKE'nin 127 mm Millî Deniz Topu namlusundan ilk test atışı

MKE tarafından geliştirilen 127 mm/54 kalibre namlu, TCG FATİH’de konuşlu silah sistemine entegre edilerek ilk test atışını başarıyla gerçekleştirdi.

www.defenceturk.net

First test firing from MKE's 127 mm naval gun

The 127 mm/54 caliber gun, developed by the Machinery and Chemical Industry Joint Stock Company within the scope of the National Naval Gun Denizhan Project, was integrated into the weapon system deployed on the TCG FATİH (F-242) frigate and successfully completed its first test firing. This development was shared during the Ministry of National Defense's weekly press briefing.

In this context, the first test firing of the 127mm/54-caliber gun, which will also be used on the TF-2000 air defense warfare destroyers, was conducted. MKE General Manager İlhami Keleş announced the start of work on the 127mm naval gun during his appearance on the SAHA Sohbet YouTube program in August.

i think it was just the barrel not the hole gun

The Indigenous Mini-Submarine Will Begin Sea Trials

Designing and producing a submarine represents the cutting edge of marine technologies. DATUM, a company founded within Istanbul Technical University, has developed a submarine in the “mini” class, and in the coming months, the submarine will begin its sea trials.

Dr. Münir Cansın Özden, Chairman of the Board of DATUM, was the guest of Tolga Özbek. In the broadcast we prepared together with #bitlo, he shared the latest information about their submarine work.

Approval for Critical and Detailed Design

The aim is to test the systems intended for the Turkish Naval Forces’ ongoing MİLDEN Project. Providing information on the subject, Özden said:

“An indigenous submarine design has been completed. There were no foreign experts involved. The Presidency of Defense Industries approved the critical design phase. Turkish Lloyd approved the detailed design. Fifty-three points were tested. The prototype has been completed. We conducted its test at a depth of 400 meters on July 11, 2023.

We performed the test of the actual submarine on February 14, 2024. The submarine hull, with its propeller, was produced for the first time and received its certification. Within a few months, the sea trials will begin.”

The Multi-Purpose Mini Submarine is 12 meters long and weighs 36 tons. With a width of 2.3 meters, it can be transported by aircraft. The submarine can dive to 100 meters, while its systems are capable of operating at depths of up to 300 meters.

The second step of the work will be the Trança. The mini-submarine system will also include weaponry.

Up Up Up.

Dreams come into reality.

36ton mini sub could be carried by truck wherever you want. Unexpected, sudden attacks could be carried with 4 crew. You don't need long preparings. Noone could dare to approach Turkish coastal lines and EEZ.

It is something highly experimental, they haven't tested the pressure hull of the submarine or submarine itself, but a scaled pressurized tank to validate manufacturer and designer capabilites at 400 meters. It also seems odd; 'Submarine is capable of diving to 100 meters, but systems are capable of operating at 300 meters'.
Yet another great project wasted in hands of a egoistical figure.

It literally can operate a few hours on batteries. At few knots.

 

[Ripley]

Told y'all. It is under construction, In a few weeks the company is expected to hold an event to present the progress.

Primarily a test submarine, technology demonstator and base for future unmanned submarines as a working mini-sub platform. However, it requires decent amount of workmanship to transform into a military product, as is - it offers quite a good start. It is a great capability and know-how to be acquired by a start-up.

Double hull (FRP outer hull, steel inner hull), 2 foldable periscope configuration, 2 torpedoes (for tests), electric submarine, 4 crew (2 operator, 2 test team).

Awesome. So it will be built just As a test bed to test EW and other components for future mini sub projects. Is it correct?

Testing any underwater or submarine based components, and possibly anything would be related to unmanned submarines in far future.

Hi @Anmdt
Memories revisited and got confused. You were, AFAIK, quite hopeful of this experimental project as well. Could you please elaborate what exactly was wasted?

 

[Saithan]

Wasn't it a different mini submarine project and not this one ?

 

[UkroTurk]

It literally can operate a few hours on batteries. At few knots.

Will not have a diesel? So 100 ton weight happens most optimal solution for 2-3 days missions?
So there must be minimum weight/ endurance ratio due to battery technology.??? ( Also+ fuel reservuar)

BTW you told about trancha before.

 

[UkroTurk]

May I ask, who was that mofo

 

[boredaf]

Nope, it was this one, I remember talking about it.

Yep. A full scale hull section and everything.
