Ah CENTCOM is based in florida. I am enlightened and now understand anything and everything about US actions in middle east. Imagine an army of trumps and florida man

Don't forget we are actively using Gabya class for AAW duties in Libya, and TF2000 are meant to replace those. It is already part of our operations, TF2000 is there to modernize and extend that capability.

TF2000 are not just for defending the Anadolu though, they will provide area defence for entire rest of fleet, including Istif with limited number of VLS and sensors. There is also the matter of ballistic missile defence in the future. We are already making Siper, we need a ship that can make...

I've just read Mavi Vatan’ın Güney Cephesi: Doğu Akdeniz by Cem Gürdeniz and the fact that Navy having such importance only getting 11-18% of already small annual defence budget is crazy. I think we have a room for at least 30% growth in personnel and budget for them. We have a lot of projects...

The wikipedia page for Montreux convention has a section about its effects on militarization of islands which is unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Rotax and Garmin

I very much doubt that. And mastery of language is crucial, it limits your capacity to convey information and make meaningful arguments.

Man I hate such things being on spaces, and they didn’t even record it

Actually it's not generators but I think turbine compressors for LNG processing?

Botaş already signed an agreement with TEI for devopment of new turbine generators https://www.botas.gov.tr/Icerik/botas-ve-tei-is-birligi-buyuye/813

I've read that it was upgraded to or was planned to be upgraded from initial 160 to 400

I mean more range is something we definitely desire. To me the biggest detail is electricity generation. I think F35 has 400kVA output, vs 60kVa of F16 C/D and even F22 is likely something around 100kVA.

Imagine if UK partnered with Turkey to develop and manufacture replacements for the parts Germany don’t wanna sell and keep prices low, in process also allowing Turkey to buy new ones, not ever gonna happen though

TF6000 first firing will be proof that we can make make a proper turbofan engine. All eyes are on that at the moment. If that project goes well that is proof enough that we can manage an engine for Kaan. Worst case scenario after that would be an engine that performs somewhat under expectations...

Read the other entries they are basically removing maths altogether

So basically room for future installation

I'm sure once TF35000 is done we will try to make all kind of derivative engines to recoup some of costs

Ada class has an endurance of 3 weeks and can operate in sea state 5. MRTP 33 can withstand sea state 4 and has endurance of 3 days.

They will end up being big and expensive if they are to withstand harsh sea conditions and have meaningful endurance
