The first welding decision for Milden and TF-2000 will be taken in the first half of 2023 probably in the next SSIK.
They were known for ages.According to savunmasanayist names of the 3 i class frigates are
F516 TCG İZMİR
F517 TCG İZMİT
F518 TCG İÇEL
In the corner of trivia today:According to savunmasanayist names of the 3 i class frigates are
F516 TCG İZMİR
F517 TCG İZMİT
F518 TCG İÇEL
And for compensation Iğdır and Isparta should have an additional 16 VLS cellsIn the corner of trivia today:
Izmit is actually the name of the central district of Kocaeli. Kocaeli provincial borders include the districts that are extensions of Istanbul, but it is the industrial zones and factories that make the province whole. Kocaeli actually means Izmit, but the provincial borders also include administrative units that are satellite districts of different provinces such as Istanbul.
İçel is not actually the name of a province. In 2002, a law changed the name of the province of İçel to "Mersin" and the name "İçel" has been completely out of use since then. With a 2008 law, the first tier municipalities in metropolitan cities were abolished and transformed into district municipalities. Until the Republic, there were two separate provinces in the region: İçel, centered in Silifke, and Mersin, centered in Mersin, including Tarsus. During the Atatürk period, these two provinces were merged. The name İçel originally means İç-il 'sheltered area' and dates back to the Karamanid-Ottoman wars.
In other words, except for Istanbul and Izmir, the other two names are not the official names of our provinces, but unofficial names.
In this case, I would like to start a campaign so that the rights of Iğdır and Isparta will not be defeated due to an omission. I would like to ask the authorities to revise the tender as 5 ships.
F516 TCG İZMİR
F517 TCG İZMİT
F518 TCG İÇEL
F519 TCG ISPARTA
F520 TCG IĞDIR
It should be.Does anyone know how much the Istanbul class frigate would cost after the introduction of Hisar RF, Mildas VLS, as well as another weapon system/Electronics? Still in the same price range of 350-400 million per I-class?
Y'all don't know it yet?Finally!
And of course at the moment we don’t know which yard and when, right?
And additional information with respect to last SSIK,
I-Class was not the only project that went through, not every single decision is shared to public. We will see some RFI / RFPs within next year, likely in first half if it is done, regarding to those projects. (Or simply watching the signature ceremony if they have decided to skip proposal stage and assigned it to a company).
For example? TF-2000?
For example? TF-2000?
Yes, it is pretty early for MILDEN, it is yet to mature in preliminary design stage and go through tunnel tests (also maneuver tests at model scale). And MILDEN DPO is conducting these duties on their own and they have started to assign subsystem contracts for R&D.Gonna guess possibly TF-2000 „Prototype“, TTFAC, MCM and unlikely but maybe even two more Bayraktar-Class LST for which there was talk a couple years back.
MILDEN feels early.
We just want to know if 3 other Istanbul frigates have start to be build or not?And additional information with respect to last SSIK,

Told you, it is already awarded. All three hull will be constructed simultaneously, however a slight phase shift (4-7 months) is expected to allow system integration to be carried out sequentially.We just want to know if 3 other Istanbul frigates have start to be build or not?
I dont got a clear answer yet , only words that dont understand ....
But why is it still in designing phase? What kind changes happened to the mod we have seen at fairs etc?TF2000 is a done deal, it needs no SSIK to commence. In fact, going on at preliminary design stage since last (2022) June.
The company that will conduct "main contractor" duties for detail design ( production design) and prototype construction (first hull) is also selected (through a rumored, however, not existing tender process). Since there is a time until preliminary design stage is concluded, it needs no SSIK at the moment.
Preliminary design stage is continuation of conceptual design stage, where in the latter only general decision is made, design is made coarsely and in the prior the detailing took up to a certain degree to check applicability.But why is it still in designing phase?

it is really mind boggling for me
Give or take, roughly these stages are shown in the following imagePreliminary design stage is continuation of conceptual design stage, where in the latter only general decision is made, design is made coarsely and in the prior the detailing took up to a certain degree to check applicability.
The changes will be invisible to eye, and i don't think scaled models will vary much in the following fairs.
