According to the info received by Mr. I. Sünnetçi from some sources, there is also a ballistic missile launch capability on MIDLAS roadmap. He stated that this capability will be applied to Tf2000 and Milden after 2030.

I fukken called it way back when, feels good to be proven right!According to the info received by Mr. I. Sünnetçi from some sources, there is also a ballistic missile launch capability on MIDLAS roadmap. He stated that this capability will be applied to Tf2000 and Milden after 2030.

The only example of a ship-launched anti-ship ballistic missile is the PLA Navy's YJ-21. Which was derived from B-611 missiles we got the ToT for.How would that work, physically? As ballistic missiles in question won't be that slim to fit inside the regular cells, multiple cells would need to be removed to put in a one bigger cell, right? Unless TF-2000 goes for a 64-96 cell setup that would be an important reduction in SAMs.

Most destroyers only have 64-96 cells and the plan for TF-2000 has been 64 cells from the start just look at this naval news article 2021.
The only destroyer that has more than 96 cells is PLA Navy's Type 055 destroyer which has 112 cells.
Some AEGIS ships also has 128 VLS capability.
Do you mean the Ticonderoga-class cruiser, which has 122 VLS cells?
Why not 80 The middleground, like Zumwalt but hopefully not a failure like thatMost destroyers only have 64-96 cells and the plan for TF-2000 has been 64 cells from the start just look at this naval news article 2021.

Bro, Milden has no MIDLAS. It features flexible payload module similar to US submarines.According to the info received by Mr. I. Sünnetçi from some sources, there is also a ballistic missile launch capability on MIDLAS roadmap. He stated that this capability will be applied to Tf2000 and Milden after 2030.

Speaking for regular TF-2000 it is pointless. TF-2000 is primarily a theathre level air defence destroyer. We are speaking about 2030+ dates.How would that work, physically?

Unless MIDLAS is smaller than the Mk41, it fits comfortably.I don't think current Bora/Khan SRBMs could be fit in MİDLAS.
You will have Gezgin, why would you need ballistic missiles on TF-2000 or MILDEN?
still waste of valuable and very limited space in a VLS and dangerous... especilly if you consider the fact that with current ranges job is still done if you fire the same balistic missile from Turkish main land. only advantage of a VLS launched balistic missile would be unknown&unexpected attack direction which can be used against certain SAMS like Patriot but still very limited number of VLS launched balistic missiles will have very limited effect. Further, unknown&unexpected attack direction is not only an advantage for balistic missile but for cruise missiles or drons as well.Because they provide different types of capability.
That's why submarines are great launchers of ballistic missiles.still waste of valuable and very limited space in a VLS and dangerous... especilly if you consider the fact that with current ranges job is still done if you fire the same balistic missile from Turkish main land. only advantage of a VLS launched balistic missile would be unknown&unexpected attack direction which can be used against certain SAMS like Patriot but still very limited number of VLS launched balistic missiles will have very limited effect.

and you should be very carefull about trying to place such a trust into a tiny VLS
