@TR_123456 @boredaf imo the biggest deterence will be if we can detect, saturate and sink every kind of ship by targeting from our mainland.
Because imo the only way to successfully invade Türkiye would be by sea.
That's why ASBM versions of TAYFUN/CENK are so important for us.
Yes, we should be able to neutralize aircraft carriers for our survival. TAYFUN/CENK are very important for stationary targets like air fields, military infrastructure etc. but it is a very difficult task to hit moving targets with them. The easiest way is to use Super Simsek or Harop style drones to saturate carrier group defences and then once the defence gets weaker, attack it with ANKA-3 (or a larger version to carry more payload) type stealth drones carrying SOM-J. Of course, the numbers should be sufficient (at least 50 Anka-3 each with 2 SOM-J). For the initial saturation one would need around 500 Super Simsek (including the depletion of most air-to-air missiles of the fighter jets). These have only a range of 800km. So we either need to improve this, and/or find larger carriers for them (maybe ANKA-4). The capability to saturate the ADs of the carrier group with reasonable costs is essential. The total costs per carrier group should not exceed 500m USD. Of course, to defend those ANKA-4 we'd need to send numerous Kizilelmas as well. If each SS costs 200'000USD, then 500 of them would cost 100m USD. This is not much. As ANKA-3/4 will deliver its payload from at least 500km away from the carrier, most of them will be out of harm's way and one can also send 50 KE to protect them.
