I have been telling for few years and it is nothing new. Scheduled for 2025, 'overhaul' is a wrong term there. I will rather call it an MLU."4 Ada-class Corvettes in Inventory (to be overhauled in the near future for air defense capability)"
Akbaba mentions Ada Class corvettes are to be retrofitted(?) with a new air defence system. Any ideas on what it is?
Just a question . With Adding a module and lengthen to Ada class at MLU is possible ? If possible we can add 16 or 32 cell Midlas .I have been telling for few years and it is nothing new. Scheduled for 2025, 'overhaul' is a wrong term there. I will rather call it an MLU.
Also see Ukranian Milgem for AD integration.
Technically yes, practically not.Just a question . With Adding a module and lengthen to Ada class at MLU is possible ? If possible we can add 16 or 32 cell Midlas .
What are we going to do with RAM systems which cost millions of dollars? They haven't finished economical life, have they?The the first goal is to integrate Goksur/Levent, and replace the RAM
Remove ram from 2 ADA and put the indigenous alternative if ready or gökdeniz, then the other 2 can have more missile reserves.What are we going to do with RAM systems which cost millions of dollars? They haven't finished economical life, have they?
If i were asked i wouldn't touch current RAM launcher, i would just add 2 Bozdoğan launcher and 4 AESA plates .

I don't know if it were feasible or practical.
Then half of Ada Class would be outdated The problem is not just missiles , newgen AESA radars should be used.... They urge UMTAS rather than Bozdoğan.Remove ram from 2 ADA and put the indigenous alternative if ready or gökdeniz, then the other 2 can have more missile reserves.
According to the contract the systems will be delivered between 2024 and 2027, do you expect Ada-class modernization/upgrade that early?For you all guys; looks like we have missed something out there. Aselsan has signed a contract for CIWS with SSB, just a week ago. However check this;
That should be cost of minimum 6 Gokdeniz or the upgrade pack for Ada-Class.! ~ 20 million upgrade per hull for 'CIWS'.
There were two (with a very loosely tied third) possibilities;According to the contract the systems will be delivered between 2024 and 2027, do you expect Ada-class modernization/upgrade that early?
Ada Class has a great main sonar. The ship has also great ASW munitions.In the basis Ada class is a asw ship right ? A asw ship without towed sonar, 2 asw helicopter and asroc or milas kind anti-submarine ammo.
So
More than air defence missiles ada class needs a towed sonar, asroc kind ammo in the mlu .
or
İf we are think establish a new concept who consist anti submarine warfare with big capable ships, Ada class can be convert a great general propose ships for fleet.
In the Ada class (and related designs), the location you have highlighted is used by a piece of equipment (I will not go into detail as it is pointless in the context of this forum) that is integral to the gas turbine. The Hisar class does not have a gas turbine, hence the area remains unused.I am puzzled, could someone explain please.
İs there any Ada-Class air defense upgrade?
İf yes? Which air defense systems will be used? Which missiles?

Is it possible to see VLS of OPV in Ada's upgrade?
Is it possible to see additional AESA radar on the Ada class?
Okay then tell us Ada Class will be upgraded with new air defense system? Which system?In Ada-Class, the spot you have highlighted is occupied by a component (not going into details as it is pointless for the forum's context), which is essential for the gas turbine. Hisar Class does not have a Gas turbine, thus the spot is empty.
Great Main Sonar ? I wish, I wish. But it's the first sonar experience of us and we are doesnt use him on i class frigate so i class have more better asw capability in the basisAda Class has a great main sonar. The ship has also great ASW munitions.
Regarding towed sonar, Ada Class could carry unmanned submarine or surface vessel. So the ship has everything for ASW as a Corvette.
The first need of Ada Class is AESA radar. BTW AESA radar could detect periscope of submarine from 30km!
