Instead of adding VLS and some missiles on TCG ANADOLU, why should we wait and build another ship?TF-2000 will provide protection. But eventually we are going to need air-superiority fighters, whether manned or unmanned, to be carrier-deployable.
Well I'm guessing TB3 will be ready way before the first TF-2000 enters service. So we will either fit surface to air missiles on the TCG Anadolu or rely on our other vessels for air protection. However I think the plan all along was to have the TCG Anadolu accompanied by an assortment of ships with dedicated roles, just like a US carrier group.Instead of adding VLS and some missiles on TCG ANADOLU, why should we wait and build another ship?
Which one is cheaper adding VLS and missiles or building a new air defense frigate?
Let TCG ANADOLU be independence from any other ship.
Probably a good way of both arming TCG Anadolu with air defense missiles and not arming it is making the air defense add-ons portable. You only deploy the rocket launchers if the mission at hand requires it and keep the ship intact if not.Well I'm guessing TB3 will be ready way before the first TF-2000 enters service.

No matter how much air protection we install on the TCG Anadolu, it is always preferable to have dedicated air defence ships escorting it. But that said, I am all for adding SAMs to it. Just in case we need our TF-2000s elsewhere.
Such modular solution sounds good but how implementable is it? We need either perfectly a modular VLS or that solution sounds like the one below we saw earlier.Probably a good way of both arming TCG Anadolu with air defense missiles and not arming it is making the air defense add-ons portable.

I certainly do not suggest a land based system to be deployed on board the ship.Such modular solution sounds good but how implementable is it? We need either perfectly a modular VLS or that solution sounds like the one below we saw earlier.
Do we know of such existing system?

No hell no Just not Avenger which is our SUNGUR equivalent. Bro those are made from MANPADS .Such modular solution sounds good but how implementable is it? We need either perfectly a modular VLS or that solution sounds like the one below we saw earlier.

Yeah I understand that. You can place Siper that way if there is a place on the deck. The thing I wanted to point out is that modular solution is good only if made in a perfect matter otherwise we can think of modular solution that way also which is a bad idea. I didn't see such a solution @Zafer suggested that is why I am asking how he is seeing it so I can make a picture in my mind but I am not sure what would be the complications.No hell no Just not Avenger which is our SUNGUR equivalent.

They even can't fulfit the mission of point defence.
You can not wait for someone else to invent it for you.Yeah I understand that. You can place Siper that way if there is a place on the deck.

I would want to hear @anmdt on that modular solution concept and his PoV.
As we all know , TCG ANADOLU will have SMART-S or CENK-S radar. As The most important and expensive partof SAM systems are the radar, why don't we just connect some missiles with it.Yeah I understand that.

Modularity for Siper on Anadolu?Yeah I understand that. You can place Siper that way if there is a place on the deck.

We can Install Sapan RAM -if comes- in addition to other CIWS or NASAMS like laucher for point defense, i think going beyond that would be not logical for the LHD. I am more on side of using stern-platform or some other available spots to install those.Well I'm guessing TB3 will be ready way before the first TF-2000 enters service.

This basket version of ESSM and VLS based anti ship missiles operations are already in use in Italian Cavour and Japanese LHD’s.
What's more, the Algerian amphibious transport deck which is half weight of our LHD has Aster 30!!!!This basket version of ESSM and VLS based anti ship missiles operations are already in use in Italian Cavour and Japanese LHD’s.
Our TCG Anadolu should definitely be equipped with both self defence and anti ship and land attack missiles and be used like a Japanese Destroyer class LHD. @UkroTurk 🚬 had already suggested something similar in past pages.
The Italian ship has front and back 76mm Oto Melara guns and Aster VLS missile systems with various CWIS guns.

He would go crazy if he has seen this and possible future plan for Turkish LCTs (Note: not LSTs, this is an LCT concept from like 10 years ago but we are sure it will be revisited in future again)
That will be amazing, and imagine Gökdeniz-Compact in place of STOP-SMASH for dual actionDamn, that's a spicy LCT. We should equip it with T-129 or T629 or T929
