STM MPAC
The rest of the ships get only the Havelsan ADVENT CMS, and are not Turkish made
Probably, but there are no details as far as I knowWill the gun and CIWS be Turkish?
TAIS has signed the contract, not STM. So possibly, not MPAC but TAIS's FAC design.STM MPAC

In such case STM would have signed the contract as the main contractor, not TAIS. STM works with anyone.STM has no own shipyard and works together with TAIS
No, he is not.Turkish Air Force Lieutenant General (Rtd.) Erdoğan Karakuş says the range of the Tayfun SRMB was 1,000km 25 years ago when he was serving & knew about the missile program. He added the Tayfun missile's is even much greater than 1,000km.
Is he credible? He talked about this a few years ago too.
Then why are we so late in space matters and satellite launches? Regardless of the missile, is it because of other systems?Turkish Air Force Lieutenant General (Rtd.)

There were rumours of already produced Gezgin's with Ivchenko engines. The Ukrainian officials of ivchenko also admitted to delivering a large number of TJ engines to TurkeyWith announcement of Arat being a Turbofan, not a Turbojet, now it is safe to assume either Gezgin Block-I is in the inventory with a Turbojet engine of unknown origin or they have skipped the Block-I (or used this block for the prototypes) and move onto Block-II right away with 1400~km range.
He politically mentions 25 years, general or whatever. Türkiye had 1000km missiles since 25 years ago and played dead in geopolitics? Absolute nonsense.Since 3 years he's talking about certain ballistic missiles that were not disclosed to date. Now we heard tayfun, cenk and tufan. He is a general. Give some credit to him, at least as much as you give it to twitter phenomena or forum members who are maybe dentist, student, human resources manager or steward..
Not large quantities but something 10-20 if i recall correctly from the same news. Not sure how many of those were delivered.There were rumours of already produced Gezgin's with Ivchenko engines. The Ukrainian officials of ivchenko also admitted to delivering a large number of TJ engines to Turkey
Correct. 12 AI-35 engines were supposed to be purchased for initial prototype quantities.As far as I remember there were rumours about 12 engines.
they might use it on duration test as turbofan able to work longer for using less fuelCorrect. 12 AI-35 engines were supposed to be purchased for initial prototype quantities.
