Bro, to have VLS means, new, different and much more expensive subs.
Current MILDEN design doesn’t have VLS either. So it is more feasible to use capsules.
Besides, if we are ever to see the infamous “Gezgin” cruise missiles being launched from Reis and MILDEN subs, then we have to use longer capsules anyway.
Having said that; If we are going to store Gezgin cruise missiles in these ships, it would negate the need to have land attack Kara Atmaca stored as well.

Uhmmmm......???
It's starting to get awkward. Will it have VLS or not ?? First it was not going to have any. Then it was speculated that it will. And then we saw this ASFAT scaled model. I don't remember no changes to be rumored after so shouldn't it have them ?
