LRIP.

I expect Gokhan to be unveiled second half of this year with an initial availability of late 2026.

Yes. Tübitak works on a continuously rotating detonation engine. https://www.defenceturk.net/tubitak-sageden-surekli-dongulu-detonasyon-motoru

No confusion it can travel 50km at 45knots. It can go faster if you sacrifice range for speed. Anyway, IMHO number one improvement should be replacing chemical batteries(Zinc+Silver oxide) with lithium-ion batteries and it should be planned and done as soon as possible.

That is why I wrote "was".

PAC-3 MSE is a great missile. IMHO it is the best endo-atmospheric interceptor. The only weakness of the Patriot system was its radar. It is no surprise the US navy wants PAC-3 missiles on its warships.

SİCİM is arguably the most important project of SSB at the moment. Silicon carbide (SiC) fibers will be developed in the scope of SİCİM project. Those fibers will be used to produce hot-section turbine blades and replace single-crystal superalloys. Phase 1 of the project covers the production of...

They designed monkey sections of the İstif class to gain experience and oversaw construction work after ARMERKOM designed most of the ship and passed it to others.

Wrong. "Preliminary and contract design studies for the İstif Class Frigate, the ship of the MİLGEM Project, have been completed, Most of the detailed design works based on the construction activities initiated in 2017 have been completed. Within the scope of the signed contract, the detailed...

ASFAT won't design TF-2000. ASFAT has no such capability. I don't know if there is anyone other than ARMERKOM that can design an AAW destroyer but certainly not ASFAT. It is like saying Kayseri tank maintenance facility will design Altay...

Korean fighter=US fighter.

YEs, ARMERKOM is also responsible for detailed design. ASFAT has no experts/personnel to conduct detailed design of an AAW destroyer.

TS-1400 for the Atak helicopter might never happen. TS-1400 for T-629 on the other hand will most likely happen.

Peak power is not continuous power. It is a momentary power spike. Mar-D consumes around 6kW.

Cenk-S+ ÇAFRAD ÇFR X-Band This is a good compromise between a full ÇAFRAD suite and Cenk-S+Mar-D

At some point, stealth loses its importance. Let's say F-35 sees KE at 20km and KE sees F-35 at 10km. The fighter with 360-degree IR detection and tracking will have the upper hand.

Pakistan wants to use Kaan+J-31 in a hi-lo mix in the future. Chinese won't sell J-20 to anyone similar to F-22 of the US so Kaan will be the only 5th gen air superiority fighter on the market. Turkiye will produce and buy 2 per month for TurAF and another 2 per month will be allocated for...

We have 6 Burak Class OPVs. Total corvette fleet is 10 pieces (4x Ada, 6x Burak). Burak class is lightly armed. We can replace corvette fleet completely with 2+8 Hisar class OPVs and upgrade Ada class to turn them into proper frigates. Ada class has turbine engines(LM2500) and they are luxurious...

If I were Navy i would upgrade 4x Ada class to İstif class level and replace 4x Ada class with up-armed version of Hisar class patrol ships. 10 Hisar corvettes are enough for corvette/patrol fleet and we can end up with 4x more İstif class on top of what is currently ordered (8). Frigate fleet...
