    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    If this unrealizable absurd dream to exclude TR had not been pursued, the EU would have a Mediterranean pipeline by now, which would have made Israeli gas, as well as resources from other countries, available to EU industry.

    Üstadım, there is only one country on the earth that is Turkiye's natural ally and that it can rely on under all circumstances, and national unity is gradually turning into unity of destiny.

The targeted schedule for the TF-2000 lead ship is already around 2027-2028. In short, what I want to say is...

    Instead of attempting a third hull design like the TF-4500 (1st arm İ class 2nd arm TF-2000), I am in favor of designing a Batch-II by giving the Milgem-II İstif class another 10-12 meters in length. I mean a frigate in the 3400-3600 ton displacement range with a more powerful main mast and...

    The TAF is apparently considering operating 119 (40+79) AN/APG-83s and at least around same numbers of MURAD-AESAs on combatant fleets. So the TAF will have more AN/APG-83s than the Greek Air Force, plus an AESA radar completely inaccessible to the Greeks.
