Nice article.
We may see an operational TB3 within 12 months.
A jet UCAV however should prove to be more along the lines of what we actually need.

We should be lucky if see this vessel on sea trials 12 months later with helicopters taking off and landing.
Let drones be the next step.
I am more excited to see it is launching multiple helicopters and conducting a cooperated amphibious assault with MAV, LCM and helicopters; before launching some drones.

We can send our personnel under NATO missions to train in ACs.
Which makes sense, at least when AC is introduced in 2030s we won't spend extra time with training and adaptation.

Meanwhile we can form an ground/air station based fighter fleet. Navy can share F16s with the Air Force until aircraft can be allocated. I think it will be possible when Hurjet, UCAVs takes some weight off F16s from COIN operations. F16 can be modernized, fitted with dedicated systems for naval warfare.

We did show intention for second LHD. If we can build the ship with a little different design, bigger, more suitable flight deck(s). Maybe we can develop a variant of Hurjet trainer for it. Something for training, light attack, air patrol roles. I wonder if its feasible without extensive redesign of Hurjet.

*No smart-s yet, phalanx was installed last week. It is Aselsan's Ares.

I don't really appreciate things on large ships which is not connected to the operations room. This fits good for small vessels like boats.
There is a reason why stabilized RCWS has been in use instead of manned MG , better if it is installed on a stabilized turret and given a larger power, and uplinked to CMS, so that it can feed from radar's data.
