Diesel generator sets of the first Class I frigate TCG Istanbul are being prepared.
İşbir successfully completed the commissioning of MTU diesel engines of the diesel generator set tests of the first Class I frigate.
An image was published earlier, has shown the progress. I am hopeful that it can be launched soon and they can start fitting.
The construction at main deck level was completed, i am sure the supper structure is easier to construct and build (except the mast)
Strange and unique Hisar configuration.

The green ones are land based SOM or Gezgin's launchers. İf Hakan Kılıç hadn't said , i would be sure % 100. Anyway those can't be Hisar pods.

Anybody knows what are the tubes of the EW & ISR version of Ulaq? It doesn't look like any kind of decoy to me. It looks like Alpagu tubes.Finally some Hi-res clear images by T-Rex.
ISR -EW, MCMV and ASUW respectively.

It looks like Alpagu, i hope it is block II or III since 5-10 km range isn't enough for seas, should be at least 100km+ for effective ISR.Anybody knows what are the tubes of the EW & ISR version of Ulaq? It doesn't look like any kind of decoy to me. It looks like Alpagu tubes.
I think the first I-class FFG wil use mk41 VLS and the following ones Turkish VLS. The next 4 years are going to be the most crucial years in Turkish defense industry with the following 5 years the second most crucial ones. A lot of bottlenecks need to be broken but from what I've seen, they will pull it off.Some twitter people is speaking about embargo on Mk41 to be delivered for I-Class, there is nothing such as of now.
Officials ,a month or so ago, have told about there wasn't any embargoes on naval programs (amid claims of some twitter accounts hinting embargoes on submarine and surface vessel programs)
Also, i believe SSB would have spoken about that, the way they have hinted the embargoes on critical parts of missiles.
Those people should stop spreading rumors to look active,and look like insiders.
Everyone is speaking about that, but it is still not assured that G40 will be ready anytime soon.the following ones Turkish VLS
