And then i remember this project which literally pulled some budget from SSB and Tübitak for R&D and gave nothing in return:

@anmdt ,
Watozz or whatever it was called was a project by a private company. This is the brainchild of Tubitak-Mam. Totally different scenario.
Apparently, the system works on the basis of a chemical reaction. Lithium hydroxide reacts with CO2 in the air and turns it into lithium carbonate and water, eliminating some of the CO2 in the Sub’s atmosphere.

I know the difference, i don't intend to compare apple and starfruit i just want to emphasize starfruit won't grow in Turkey, somebody will import and label it "local" while apples grow unattended in anywhere but nobody pays attention to wrap it up and sell.
SSB funds some R&D projects (unlimited budget)
Tubitak funds some geuniune or prototyping projects up to TRY 1 million (might have risen)

I am rather referring to some people actually does critical works who helps in the field while some others are out there to shave money off as much as they can. There are some other companies in USV and UUV business i refrain from telling their names for now.
The day i wrote that message i was overseeing R&D project proposal of a private firm claiming they can design and produce a kind of propulsion system for military platforms. In report i have suggested them to do something achievable and actually something makes more sense such as studying integration of a foreign sourced system is also crucial for this step but they go " meh", and then who has to study the integration: University.

Some companies started to glorify themselves aiming at much higher ,while things looking rather simple to be achieved by a company is done by Tubitak-Universities.

Asked about unmanned sea vehicles

Ismail Demir: We are also working on semi-submersible systems.
+ He has told TCG Anadolu will be delivered latest in 2022,
And one major remake has emerged and being carried out as of now.
I have kept telling 2021, as disclosed by many sources including officials and experts, is too early, unrealistic and the ship is nowhere near completion as of March 2021, even Q4 2022 is highly optimistic but achievable if nothing goes wrong- Q1/2 2023 or end of 2023 is more realizable.

Is there any information regarding the propulsion system that's going to be used on FAC. I know it's a combined gas on gas, but wondering whether it will be US/GB based or Ukrainian.
I don't know exactly it seems to be under review as of now, but there are some efforts to use alternative propulsions (Ukranian turbine + local waterjet) which doesn't seem possible to catch FAC production timeline, otherwise typically we can assume it will be RR waterjet (RR turbine if things goes bitter with US)+ LM2500

Alper Kose (SSM Department of Naval Platforms President) said that a folding wing UCAV was under development for TCG Anadolu.
Work towards development of unmanned under-water/surface vehicles to operate in tandem with UCAV is being carried out.
Alper Kose confirmed that US did not give export permission for VLS, Turkish MIDLAS (VLS) is being developed by Roketsan.
GOKDENIZ CIWS will be used on 5th Milgem platform (I-Class)

Is this okay to share this with public? You can clearly see the propellers. The Official Ministry account deleted the tweet later but I hope the Turkish Defense Ministry knows that the Twitter is a huge blackhole. Serious OPSEC failure for Turkish Navy, damn.

By the way, does anyone know who's running the official account?

It was the official video of the ministry. We removed the relevant tweet.

TCG Anadolu is going to have folded wing UAV’s stationed on it’s deck. Although these UAV’s won’t be able to carry out air-to-air engagements, they will be used in air-to-surface bombing operations.
TB3 of Baykar seems to be the most likely candidate at the moment!
The deck of Anadolu will have minimal amount of interference to accommodate landing and take off of these UAV’s within 100-150 metres.

If it is not ok it is already too late!
I mean Type 214 submarines are pretty common and known by the public. There's many pictures with shown propellers online but still, you gotta keep something classified lol. There might be some design changes made by Turkish Navy, maybe.
