Who is selling istif

There was a talk of selling İstifs, but it was refuted.

Critical Threshold in MİLDEN: Construction of Test Block Begins Turkey has left another critical stage behind for the National Submarine MİLDEN. The first test block has officially begun to be constructed at Gölcük Naval Shipyard Command. National Defense Ministry Press and Public Relations Advisor Rear Admiral Zeki Aktürk, in his statement at the meeting, used the expressions, "The construction of the first test block of our National Submarine (MİLDEN) has also begun at Gölcük Naval Shipyard Command." The delivery of the first MİLDEN to the Turkish Naval Forces Command is planned before 2030.

i think they will deliver it before 2030 but it would still need 1-2 years of testing before its fully commissioned

For me having a domestic sub with VLS and AIP is a one of the 4 strategic pillars among our current projects with KAAN, AC and TF 2000.... which will represent the pinnacle of technology level we have achieved so defintly worth waiting

What is a Test Block?

What is a Test Block?

dont ask we may not like the answer but still a good news nonetheless @Anmdt

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

Is MILDEN the first indigenous made submarine? Which Engine will we use?

What is a Test Block?

Here is the answer given on line:

A test block in submarine building refers to a representative section of the submarine's pressure hull or other critical structure that is manufactured and rigorously tested to validate the materials, welding procedures, and quality control processes before full-scale construction of the actual vessel.

In other words, you can’t really start the construction until you have confirmed that your production method is correct.

It would be interesting to see how they test it with actual footage.

What is a Test Block?

A test block is manufactured and built prior to the actual submarine blocks, to test construction tolerances (shift from the actual circle), welding quality, welding distortions and heat affected zones. Also testing post-welding strength of the material and consistency of the construction rigs. Primarily a plain structural part of the pressure hull to ensure that it is suitable for bearing the crush depth. However, the section is less likely to be submerged.

There has been quite many of the tests prior to this, can't tell exact numbers but both welding material, base material (high yield class steel) and support rings and sub-assemblies had gone through tests.

Now it is finally time to ensure the rigs can manufacture as near as perfect circle pressure hulls with least amount of residual stress and deformations, with acceptable welding quality. The test block may also be used for later constructiones unless that it has been scrapped for some of the tests.

The test block has been in construction for weeks, or months, yet they are announcing it now.

So this one is new Hisar class OPV ? İt looks like smaller version of istanbul class with in front VLS .
View attachment 78456

Yes, with as many as possible Aselsan components (light ESM, STAMP, Sonar, Torpedo countermeasures and et al.). 8 will be of this version, however contracts are signed for 2 + 2 options, by two shipyards. Dearsan (leading Ozata and Desan for all contract stage), and Istanbul Naval Shipyard.

 

[Sanchez]

8 will be of this version

Let's see if we can offload the second ship to Croatia.

Didnt Romania plan for two?

They signed a contract for the remaining four ships with ASFAT at IDEF

Asfat has no shipyard, they are the contractor - wrapper for Istanbul Naval Shipyard.

Dont forget missile technology.

i know i just wanted to say that at least 6 are under contract to be build, 2 are under construction with dearsan and 4 are to be decided and an option for 2 more.

 

[Sanchez]

Didnt Romania plan for two?

Plan is a big word. They only requested a budget for a single ship so far. In the future as they need it, maybe, but nothing for now.

I hope Milden uses solid-state batteries. First-generation solid-state batteries are now being sampled and are entering pilot production. Companies are setting up serial production lines. Even the first-generation solid-state batteries offer 400 Wh/kg energy densities and superior robustness and reliability. Assan's hybrid propulsion system uses a semi-solid state battery. You can buy a semi-solid state battery right now it is on the market.

Just a concept for FAZ II
