Launching takes place before critical fitting out and sea trials; then delivery to the force inventory. Remember navy has to carry out acceptance tests. All this can take up to 1.5 to 2 years (In our case may be even longer). Here is TCG Akdeniz . Nothing fitted on the mast and no gun yet. But...

Bro, forget about our government knowing all! That is what we are discussing here. Just read the posts related to this subject and use your own intelligence to decide if we have enough ships or not. You don’t need to be a member of government to see if 2+2 is 4. You have Russian fleet in...

I think you have put your finger on a really sore point!. And you are in essence very correct; Apart from TCG Istanbul, TCG Anadolu and 4 Milgem Ada Class ships, as combatants, TCG OrucReis has been through MLU and brought up to modern standards. But 4 x Gabya class ships without VLS and even...

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/slovak-prosecutor-ends-probe-over-fighter-jets-air-defence-systems-donated-2026-02-05/ This is what happens in countries where the law of the land rules before the law of a single man or a governing body, when it is a matter of national...

Sorry but, that doesn’t make any sense. Can you please explain it in clear English? If need be, write it in your own language then have it auto translated on line in to English so that what you are trying to say is eligible. Because I’d be damned if I understood anything from what you have...

All 4 ships either filmed earlier in sea trials or in heavy seas on their way to Germany. If it is the latter, they must have had fairly rough journey. That 27000 ton assault ship is bopping up and down to make most people sick just watching it.

There are members here that have different views to each other. That is what makes a forum functional. Having said that, no abusive language would be allowed towards the head of states of countries and especially to the founder of the country. This is clearly stated in the rules of the forum...

In view of this information, all I can say is that selling those two almost ready İstif Class ships to Indonesia is a treasonous act. You don’t sell your best assets when your arch enemy is buying 4 (possibly 8) large belhara frigates like there is no tomorrow. Money isn’t everything.

As @ Sanchez has already pointed out, both Bosporus Bridge and FSM bridge had generated billions of dollars and paid themselves off years ago. They are still generating huge amounts of cash for the Turkish State Treasury. To sell the operation rights to a foreign entity now means, quick cash...

https://turdef.com/article/meteksan-s-milsar-radar-gets-a-long-range-maritime-mode This is like a revolutionary upgrade to the MILSAR we knew that had an under 30km range. This new version developed for Maritime use, specifically for Aksungur, will give an effective range of 90 Nm(166km)...

Currently there are 3 so called partners in the Kaan project. Azerbaijan : Involved in it financially. Pakistan : Involved in the program with technical expertise and possible assembly line help. Egypt : Probably some form of assembly and small parts manufacturing. None of these “partners“ have...

In reality, there are actually 26 Gokbey helicopters to be produced as per what has been produced to date. 57 additional units ordered by the TR Navy are going to be navalised versions. They will have to be redesigned and produced in accordance with certain specifications whereby the helicopter...

When a factory or a new production line is set up, there is a notion called Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) that is put in to motion. This allows the factory to weigh the eco system that is set up to produce the product and iron out imperfections within the production line and the supply...

It is a matter of aerodynamics and all the above you mention. With a laser seeker head it‘s maximum range was essentially limited by the laser head performance. With an IIR seeker head that constraint has been lifted. But like any free falling bomb, it’s speed and range is governed by it’s...

https://www.defenceturk.net/tei-genel-muduru-aksit-tf6000-ile-5900-libre-guce-ulastikk Well, we are almost there. The engine is maturing. That is higher thrust than what the Ukranian engine can provide. On top, it is stealthy. According to M Aksit, the engine develops 5900+ lbf thrust now...

https://turdef.com/article/roketsan-updates-maximum-range-for-mam-l-iir-to-40-km Roketsan has updated the maximum range of Mam-L IIR smart bomb (Umtas missile sans rocket and with an IIR seeker) from 25 km to 40 km. This puts the munition’s max range at the limit of most medium range Air Defence...

https://gdh.digital/haber/gokbora-ile-turkiye-uzun-menzilli-hava-hava-angajmaninda-yeni-bir-esige-hazirlaniyor-vzyb0iqzrpe Interesting about the Roketsan’s Gokbora missiles’s range being 185.2 km. Either it has been tested and found to be the exact tested range; or someone is being...

I am sorry; But just because a country has been ruled by the same political party for 25 years, it doesn’t mean that the same country is economically stable. Turkiye has seen at least three basic terms of serious economical crises since 2002: Key economic challenges and periods of instability...

Selling major military equipment like a frigate is the best thing a country can do economically . But doing it by weakening your military power projection is wrong. TCG Yavuz and TCG Fatih are already taken out of inventory and are being used as training ships. We are already down by a frigate...
