So let’s get this straight! These are the “OPV” ships we have been discussing here last few days. But will be produced with Milgem Corvette design parameters and specifications.
Does that mean they will be F class ships?
Or are they 2 new Milgem Corvette ships that will be produced in addition to the 2 OPV 2100 ships?

It sounds like a cock-up with savunmasanayist’s news feed!

Turkish navy has received 2 more Anka weaponised UAV’s from Tusas.
These are satcom version of the UAV with extended range.
Keep them coming boys!

Sorry but they have messed it up, TCG Ufuk is also a variation of Milgem but she has a "A" class.
The latter ships will also be an OPV design based on Milgem(Ada class) and +2 is not clear, so far i know it will be +4
+2 is entirely made up by people who takes some other projects as basis for optional numbers.
They will be a P class (logically), not F (assuming and heard so, but it is TN i won't be surprised if becomes an F class)

So are these going to be CODAD propelled , weaponless OPV2100 ships? If so why bother?
You are saying +4 ! Does that mean planned quantity is 6 altogether?

Not really a friend of unarmed OPV's similar in size like the Ada Corvette.
Cheaper to operate in peace time, ready for weaponization in case of war.. I think it is very smart thing to do.. We need more ships for patrolling Mavi Vatan and why would you do that with ships fully armed for a war.

I think they will make these empty ships ready for future weaponization, but they are needed now, fast.

We will see in near future what kind of an OPV has been requested by DzKK.
CODAD makes sense, 2 diesel engines can power an Ada class up to 22+ knots.


However i think the numbers were roughly estimated from some approximations thus these are accurate by -+ 2 knots.

Source:
"The ADA Class can attain a cruising speed of 15 knots with a single diesel engine twin shaft configuration and can reach a speed of 27 knots with two shafts when only gas turbine is on. The ADA Class can reach a cruising speed of 22.5 knots with two diesel engines, and 30 knots with two diesel engines and LM2500 gas turbine is activated"
Link.

Maybe the OPV will be a faster version of ADA class with two gas turbine engines like the Freedom Class ship.

A big surprise
OPSV-2100's main missions are;
  • Maritime Patrol
  • Surface Warfare Operations as a deterrent
  • Maritime police (repression of illegal fishing, illicit trade in drugs, piracy, human trafficking, etc.)
  • Search and Rescue operations (SAR)
  • Day & Night HELO operations
  • Day &Night HELO operations capabilities with HIFR and Vertrep
  • Economic exclusive zone (EEZ) monitoring & surveillance
  • Spills and contamination control
  • Training
In order to carry out the tasks assigned, OPV-2100 has the following capabilities;
  • 20+ knots maximum speed
  • Minimum 5000 n.miles endurance at 15 knots crusing speed
  • Survivability up to sea state 7+
  • Weapon and sensors operations up to sea state 5+
  • Helo operations up to sea state 4+
  • Three machine guns, Fwd. Gun 30 mm., others 12.7 mm.
  • Helicopter platform for day & night landing and takeoff (NH-90 type helicopter)
P.S. I prefer the aft gun to be replaced with Gökdeniz.

Could be Anka+S

Anka+ OR Anka+ S is elusive at the time of writing.

Last 2 Anka UAVs are Anka-S. Serial numbers of the last 4 UAVs delivered to naval forces were from TCB 851 to 854.

The serial number in the today shared photo is TCB 856

I'm puzzled who will produce which platform.
İs the order finalized?

OPV 2100 or OPV 190O was ordered?

After seeing Turkish type FAC and new OPV, STM is seems to be dominant in Turkish Navy projects. What the Armerkom do nowadays?
