Let us all use our brains for a moment and think about this, i am trying to remain unbiased as possible ignoring what i know about that company;

A ready to use, well-matured, field proven, serially produced weapon system is not ordered.

A weapon system that is yet to exist conceptually is ordered by TR -1 to 1 replicating capabilities of the aforementioned system with no additional capability, or modularity- , for an unknown amount (likely more than what the previously mentioned existing system would cost) , company utilized upfront payment for R&D and development of the mentioned system, not meeting any given deadlines (and with a questionable reliability when they did). State has paid for the development of a system, indirectly.

Why did Unirobotics need orders from TR prior to hiring new engineers and setting a team, if they were so confident of the company on making a good product (or a cost effective product to be competitive on the price) to rival the other system. All i want to know is this; why are they priviliged while not introducing anything new but domectic machine gun that also can he swapped to Stamp?
There is quite literally only one answer to that, someone is putting their thumb on the scales because they are going to profit from it. No bias or anything else necessary at all because there is no other answer.

It's not like Aselsan is some out of favour company they are trying to replace, on the contrary, with the new SSB they have gone even beyond being one of the favourites to the one and only; Haluk Görgün is putting people who have been at Aselsan everywhere he can, we all know that.

Looks like a tiny ship.
It is. It's not a fleet replenishment ship but a more simpler fuel carrier between ships, docks etc. One of the silent heroes of logistics, they don't even get proper names but just "Fuel-3".

Highly marketable at this point. I mean who wouldn't like a small but proven system against small UAVs on their ships cruising at the Red Sea?

İstif class will be one of the most dedicated ew warships.
Istanbul Class has R-ESM/ECM that focuses on radar frequencies. For drones it requires V/HF jammers as well. (C-ESM/ECM). Kangal-D is for starters and easy and plug&play system. We will see variations of navalized milkar, ihtar etc. later.

TAIS Defense General Manager Doğan BEŞCAN was the guest of the SAHA Academy and made important statements about the future.
BEŞCAN: "We had undertaken an ambitious project to build 3 ships in the I Class program in 3 shipyards in 3 years. With the SSIK decisions announced this January, these 3 ships increased to 7 ships. At the same time, one of our partners, Anadolu Shipyard, is building 8 tank landing ships."

8 new tank landing ship ? Building at the moment ? 🤔 First time i hear about it , I hear that there was a plan to build new ones but not already building , So additional 151 class or another type ?

I think he stated before that lct's will be built by ADIK shipyard (Anadolu Shipyard) . But there is a point on his statement that needs to be explained; he said that we will build +3 more i class related to decision taken in last ssik meeting. But in this decision it was also added that we will build further 4+ more frigate. Looks like one of them will be built by asfat. Thats kind of a scenario whereby it is of a probable updated design of İstif class. (Could be As3600 I think) Generally new designs are first built in military shipyards. After that private shipyards are used.
