That is the logical way to go. But the news clearly says that they will redesign TCG Anadolu to enable TB3 operations. In fact it says that the back of the lift already covered.

@Zafer , According to Selcuk Bayraktar’s statements in below article, TB3 will be able to land on TCG Anadolu without arresting wires. He is talking about arresting nets to stop it. Then adding that it will in fact land without the need of arresting nets...

The main point here is the fact that the ship is going to go through a major overhaul and redesign as per this picture, whereby the ski jump is going to be extended and the aft portion of the ship where the lift is, going to be covered to the edge.

https://www.defenceturk.net/meltem-iii-projesinde-son-iki-p-72-ucaginin-teslimatina-hazirlaniliyor Last 2 P-72 planes prepared under Meltem 3 project are being delivered to the TN. With the addition of these 2 planes , total number of Sea Patrol planes will be 12.

Do we have the tech to build one? I think it was the hydraulic arresters that were used in land based trials. https://www.savunmahaber.com/turk-hava-kuvvvetlerinin-ihtiyaci-kapsaminda-yurutulen-ucak-durdurucu-sistemler-projesinde-yeni-imza/

https://www.defenceturk.net/roketsan-tskya-atmaca-ve-karaok-fuzelerini-teslim-ediyor Atmaca anti ship and Karaok anti tank missiles coming out of serial production runs are being delivered to TSK by Roketsan. The Kara Atmaca and The submarine launched Atmaca planed to be in TSK inventory by 2025...

I think you will find that unless they use an electromagnetic assisted arresting system, whereby you could adjust the arresting wire tension to different weights of planes, there is no chance of stopping a Hurjet weight class plane with hydraulic powered wires that is optimised to stop TB3. Vice...

Correct! TEI builds the low pressure turbine modules for this engine under the agreement made with Honeywell. Also TAI has signed a deal with RR and Honeywell to establish local assembly, parts manufacturing, inspection, and test and depot repair capability in Turkey...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-hizir-reis-denizaltisi-bu-yil-havuza-cekilecek/ Great news! TCG Hızır Reis Submarine, the second boat of the Reis Class is going to be meeting with water this year. They are coming in one by one.

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/ssb-acikladi-milli-turbojet-fuze-motoru-kullanim-aliniyor/ Finally KTJ-3200 is going to be physically used in serial production of SOM and Atmaca missiles. This means, after all the tests and trials, the turbo jet engine has been accepted to replace the French...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tcg-anadoluda-bayraktar-tb3-icin-tasarim-degisikligi/ It seems that there is a plan to alter the design of TCG Anadolu so that TB3 drones can land and take off from the deck of this amphibious landing dock. As well as extending the ski jump, the area behind the...

These missiles were made with AIM120 Amraam and AIM9x missiles in mind. They were to be replacement of these two. They are not quite like the replica of these. They are a bit different. We will never know the exact details. And, really, no one should! (apart from the people that should). That is...

He says the project is going to start. We want to hear “keel cutting will start”! Same with I-Class; all three will be produced together we were told. What we want to hear is “at such and such a date we start cutting keel! “. A lot of will, shall, going to. But no real action. I would love it if...

https://www.defenceturk.net/bozdogan-ve-gokdogan-hava-hava-fuzeleri-envantere-giriyor Turkish BVR a2a missile Gokdogan and the WVR version Bozdogan is becoming part of the TAF inventory. Can’t wait for the news of the Gökhan missile being in the inventory too!!

https://www.defenceturk.net/sungur-hava-savunma-fuzesi-tsk-envanterine-giriyor As part of our layered AD system Sungur is the missile at the bottom of the layers after Korkut. It is now becoming physically available as an AD system in TSK’s inventory

@Crab , are you sure about CTS800 engines being built at TEI? As far as I remember it was thought to be produced under license at TEI. But it never materialised. They are purchased from Honeywell USA. If you are saying only the Power Turbine module is being produced; I thought we only recently...

You need to write English summary for these. There are many non Turkish speakers that follow these threads.

The notion of close air support has always been low altitude flight and dive bombing until lately, like the ones performed by A10s and Tornados in the gulf war. Bombing enemy positions near friendlies is the act of CAS. But it has always been done by low altitude flight runs in the absence of...

Are you sure? Super Tucano is a propeller driven slow plane. Hurjet is as the namesake is a JET plane.😀 I guess you meant Hurkus!

CAS concept, with current AD systems may no longer be feasible. For a plane to be effective at close air support, it needs to be as fast as a Panavia Tornado at sea level (1482km/hr) and as robust as an A10. Still they will fall prey to most modern AD systems. During first gulf war, 3 Tornados...
