Great upgrade , the mast looks like Istanbul class one but if they would aslo change the body to steath shape like S africa Valour class or Algerian, egytian ones would be super modernised warships to serve for another 20 years .
But Germany sign the deal about submarine if they dont continue than they can be sued and pay huge penalties ,they even pay millions about delay .
I dont think germans will abordon the deal for israel or they are so stupid?!
I aslo agree that this news if is true will not affect Reis class since 6 all of them are U/C
But i belive Turkiye want to take this S 80 tech and add partly to Milden project and Milden can be partly based on S80 submarine but some differencies just like Reis class that is 70% national but...
Mutiple sources talking about Turkiye building Spain S 80 submarine under licence , if this is true than it will merge with Turkish Milden since they almost same as size of about 80 meters
Acv 15 ?
U may say about M113A2 that is from 1980 but Acv 15 is 1995 and Turkiye will modernize them , i think we will see in duty until 2040
While M113 need urgent replacing with new ones.
-- Still low number for Turkiye but i think Turkiye have another 200+ old but modernized Tank destroyers that will serve for another 20 years total Anti-tank vihacles :
- 344 Modern STA Kaplan / Pars
- 204 ACV-ATV / M113TOW
Total 550 ( 800 -will be good number )
He just post things to please his followers
dont take his tweet serious
But for this tweet he can be right , TAI perhaps have plan B if USA refuse to sell engines so not impossible
Until end of 2023 those warships will enter active service with navy u can correct me ,
1- LHD Anadolu
2- TCG Derya
3- 1st Type 214
4- Tcg Istanbul
5- A- 574 / A- 575 Logistics ship
6- 1st MLU Meko class ???!
With those new warships and increase of military budget Turkiye can enter top 6-8...
If Turkiye will get abother aircraft carrier bigger than Anadolu than navy for sure will ask for more frigates or destroyers
If we see US AC is protected by at least 5 big destroyers so Turkiye will do something the same
2 AC need protection by 10-15 warships so with only 4 I class that have...
Its says 40 billion but real one is around 30 billion , they put aslo police budget inside defence one , i dont know how it works for other countries like france and USA .
So - 10 billion police budget
Tb3 for ground bombing on terrorist with weak SAMs
and Steath Kizilelma for air to air fight with other countries airforces will be big step for our Anadolu replacment for f35.
