I fully agree with you. This ship is naked when it comes to self protection. Couple of Phalanx will never cut it. It needs on board protection at a level that is commensurate with a vessel of this stature.View attachment 60621
TCG Anadolu should have this combo instead, feels like the ship is under protected !

Qatar has an order for an Italian LPD and as weapons, there are sixteen Aster-30s, one 76 mm cannon, and two 25 mm cannons. instead of a LPD it looks more like a destroyer with a strangly placed flight deck. I can understand your point, me myself belive that eventually ANADOLU will have upgraded CIWSs and similar future platforms could have VLSPeople are saying: The air defense frigate will protect TCG ANADOLU. But how much does AD Frigate cost comparing MİDLAS loaded with missiles? I think 4 x compact AESA radar+16 cell MİDLAS with missiles,plus 2 x Gökdemir would be max 100 million USD. With such solution you would get LHD destroyer which everyone dreams.
Does TCG ANADOLU have Yakamoz sonar?Qatar has an order for an Italian LPD and as weapons, there are sixteen Aster-30s, one 76 mm cannon, and two 25 mm cannons. instead of a LPD it looks more like a destroyer with a strangly placed flight deck.

Yet another major threat for such platforms are submarines should we place lightweight torpedoes or anti submarine rokects and a dedicted anti submarine warfare helicopter on ANADOLU dont get me wrong bro guess all I am trying to say is we should find the balance between self defence and the wisdom of layered defence and appointing and acting together with a flotilla for this goal we should not see it as a weakness on the contrary it shows strenght
Does TCG ANADOLU have Yakamoz sonar?
It has HIZIR TKAS and TAS. Just speculating that later they may add HIZIR LFAS as well.Anmdt
dont know but I am almost certain that it has Aseslan TORK torpedo countermeasure system
It was rumored that Goksur may launch Gokdogan YH (possibly will be referred as DH in naval application) in addition to Bozdogan DH. So if it is capable of handling 8 Gokdogan DH it may come very handy.Unlike in the VLS ones, ESSMs on Mk 29s that are used on US amphibs and carriers are not quadpacked. Mk29 only carries 8 ESSMs. Tho it being a neater packaging, nothing below the deck, is a good selling point. US doesn't like VLS on its carriers.
ASW is an important subject when it comes to protecting assets like TCG Anadolu. For that, at least one Reis Class will have to be assigned to the ship at all times. But also good sensors and sonars are needed on board. When it comes to actual ASW, you can not beat the power of a Helicopter like Seahawk, which TCG Anadolu already has..Yet another major threat for such platforms are submarines should we place lightweight torpedoes or anti submarine rokects and a dedicted anti submarine warfare helicopter on ANADOLU dont get me wrong bro guess all I am trying to say is we should find the balance between self defence and the wisdom of layered defence and appointing and acting together with a flotilla for this goal we should not see it as a weakness on the contrary it shows strenght
Concept: We are looking for something compact and cheap to operate.Fatih Mehmet Küçük said in today's broadcast that there are rumors of revision in the TF-2000s after Ukraine hit the Moskva cruiser.
Correction: They will increase the tonnage to 9 thousand tons. 96 VLS is coming.
TN needs to evolve into (or adopt the doctrines of) a blue-water navy in order to become a navy beyond the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean.
This is a waste of money, there is no fighter jet available to use on this aircraft carrier.
I guess they are like the Russian,just talk about the aircraft carrier again and again.This is a waste of money, there is no fighter jet available to use on this aircraft carrier.
Using KE, TB-3, Hurjet or other light aircraft/UAV is not worth it on a platform like this. They would be spending $8B-$10B on a massive two island aircraft carrier, when we already can operate KE and TB-3 from TCG Anadolu.
Remember that an aircraft carrier's primary defence is the fighter jets on it; this thing would become a massive sitting duck in the ocean. Even more dangerous considering how proliferated and cheap missiles/drones have become.
This is very ambitious; you would need a nuclear-powered reactor to power the electromagnetic CATOBAR system.I guess they are like the Russian,just talk about the aircraft carrier again and again.
But If we get electromagnetic catapult tech we can fly Kaan.
We can't convert Kaan to STOVL like F-35B/Harrier, that design phase of the project is long gone.This is very ambitious; you would need a nuclear-powered reactor to power the CATOBAR system.
There are lots of technologies that we don't have.
CATOBAR, electromagnetic catapults, nuclear reactors, and a CATOBAR capable naval version of Kaan.
That number is massively inflated.This is a waste of money, there is no fighter jet available to use on this aircraft carrier.

That was the first estimate, then it was revised to a billion but its true cost was never revealed.TCG Anadolu costs around 500m €
We dont need AC for now because we dont have aircrafts , money and we just need to protect Mavi vatan which is closse to Turkiye.TCG Trakya, NGAC (New gen aircraft carrier) program and Carrier capable multi-role combat aircraft is on agenda of TN

I feel the need the add as many will not read the fine print, this is not new per Sünnetçi and is from 2021. It is not yet clear if plans changed and if the NGAC is Trakya or a third ship.TCG Trakya, NGAC (New gen aircraft carrier) program and Carrier capable multi-role combat aircraft is on agenda of TN
