Thats the pricetag for missiles from the Americans unfortunately. If you look at a couple of deals you would find it priced between 5-8 million per unit depending on how large the order is.

After acquiring the Puls launcher Morocco strenghten its offensive capabilities with a 524 million deal for 18 Himars incl ATACMS missiles. Another 250 million deal for 40 JSOW missile.

Turkey will be in goal when it comes to both the submarine size of its fleet, and also with the introduction of 4X TF-2000. The remaining gap would be to get some more heavy frigates into the inventory. Not let forget the I-class and the Hisar class OPV that will be built within the next decade.

What does that have to do with a "half" carrier group? Do you think that the Turkish navy would need 10 submarines, 15 heavy frigates, and 5 destroyers for a single aircraft carrier group? If that's the case then we could be sure that Turkey will surpass the UK/France in terms of the size of...

Yes an aircraft carrier in itself will cost a minimum of 3 billion USD or the equivalent of 3 TF-2000. The warships and submarines I mentioned were not intended to be created just for 1 carrier group. Turkey does not need to have a huge aircraft carrier group like the US if Turkey intends to...

A carrier battle group will not consist of a carrier alone so if a new carrier gets built within the decade then it would need a lot of submarines, and warships to complement it. A submarine or even a destroyer cant provide the capabilities that a floating air base will provide and vice versa...

If it's the project volume in terms of defense industry projects in the public, and private sectors then the news that Erdogan delivered is not fully accurate?. I remember i read in a SSB catalog that the SSB was carrying out hundreds of projects with a budget of around 76 billion. I don't know...

The budget for funding has always been larger then the "budget" however is the 75 billion USD meant to be used on soldier salaries, as well as procurement? If that's the case then we will see huge procurement this year.

The mistreatment of the Uighur in China will never stop in the near future. Afghanistan needs some solid strategic allies whom they can boost their trade with as well as military cooperation.

The Americans have been generous with their donations :) How are the Afghanistan-Chinese relations at the moment? Are any joint-exercises scheduled?

I got your point.. If the US modernized the Turkish F16 then by your argument they would have access to the data regarding the missiles on the Turkish F16, and not only export clients. The US profit a lot from missile sales so i doubt that they would be open to providing source codes for...

I would assume that it would indeed be cheaper for the TUAF than for clients abroad. I don't see why it should be a problem to export missiles when there are other countries that offer different types of air-to-air missiles in the market. Cruise missiles like the gezgin project, or Tayfun would...

"İSTİF Class Frigates will be built at least 30% cheaper than their foreign counterparts." — prof. Dr. Ismail Demir

The TF2000 will not be ready until 2029 or 2032 at the latest. The 3 I-class frigates will be delivered by 2026 so it could be wise to go for 3 more that could be delivered between 2026-2029. It would maybe be the ideal choice since Turkey will need a lot more warships than it has now. I don't...

Official project?

Like @TheInsider mentioned it's probably just a "Study" related to export. Where did you find the picture?

Dont forget that Azerbaijan is considered its ally in the region against Iran. Would not fall in good taste for Azerbaijan.

No aslan ultras here🙃

Chinese OPV are not armed as heavily as the picture that @Afif shared, Nevertheless most of modern corvettes. Just think about Corvettes such as Ada-class, or Sigma. Perhaps it would be more suitable to use the financial means on other projects since weapon systems constitute one of the biggest...
