Then presumably MoD R&D somehow has 1000+ personnel working on design, manufacturing, assembly and testing just for this engine. Are those imaginary personnel in the same room, can you see them, can you see job-openings for those positions? Or is it the deus-ex-machina appearing out of thin...

It is betrayal to entire Turkish defense industry. This argument is inclusive to anyone who keeps endorsing MoD R&D.

This is the second biggest piece of BS of the fair, after the 42,000 lbf turbofan aero-engine. The extent to which this is the case is such that it undermines the reputation of the Turkish defence industry, rendering it a subject of mockery on the global stage to such a degree that it causes me...

In an ideal world aircraft manufacturer should have little to do with the ship design itself. It should be compatible with the CMS and sensors on board inherently. The only requirement would have had installation of LOS data link and a broad bandwidth dedicated X-Band SATCOM terminals. Without...

Desan has no design facilities, it is designed by SEFT Design & Engineering, also possible that SEFT backed by STM for design inputs and conceptualization and Desan is chosen for building spot, same as happening with Istanbul Shipyard for LMSB2.

To enrich this with this; The multi purpose frigate will likely be derived from TF-2000, just like how Hisar Class derived from ada class. A 76 mm will be much easier to integrate, operate, maintain on a multi-purpose frigate. Sapomer munition could provide a decent shore bombardment range.

They did block MTU engines and STM & DzKK agreed to switch with MAN engines. Renk cross connect gears are, however, delivered or ordered with no further issues. This is strange, to my opinion the gearbox is much more crucial since it is custom made and would cause delays in the project since...

Well, we are still waiting??

Mavi Batu is intended as a generator. Typically a generator runs nearly non-stop, all around the clock and for months, thus it has to be reliable. It has to go through a lot of tests, and we haven't seen it more than a 3D image of it as of now.

Auto translation; Had no time to rewrite, or I have no intention of promoting my own Twitter account. But the biggest downgrade I have ever seen in my life after watching 15+ years of development history in Turkey, in relation to the stabilised turrets. This is not a stabilised turret, but a...

Ew, God forbid.

Man the project is 30 years old and older than most of the defence enthusiast or let alone, the defence media editors that spreads this sensation. If you carefully look, the older and wiser editors are silent on the matter, as since they know what it is actually about. Frigate or Destroyer...

Fixed it for you; TCG Sulh, which also fits the motto. This will also sail around the world, a noice word fun - we bring 'Peace' to your place. Here are my technical remarks on the project or what we have seen so far. The design is roughly a template showing the Navy's intentions...

No, it is the nametag of Fire Control System (Mk91-92 like, i suppose). (as stated by Defence Turkey)

That will cost you some bucks.
