A simple and cheap strategic weapon : ULAQ , furnished with Atmaca and TRLG300 missiles can be 400km away from a shore based controller or a sea based ship that it is being controlled from. Through satcom it can target an enemy ship 250km away from itself with subsonic missiles or 130km away from itself with supersonic missiles. That means, within a 650km or 530km range respectively, no enemy ship will be safe. Beauty of it is that due to it’s sattelite communication and stealth construction the enemy won’t know where ULAQ is. They also won’t know where the control base is.
As TRLG300 will be travelling in to it’s target, at close to 4mach speed, it will carry so much momentum and kinetic energy that it won’t even need explosives to destroy the target ship.
In the Aegean , Athens is 230km away from Turkish mainland. With a dozen of these ULAQ in the Sea-of-Islands, no enemy ship can be safe!

I don't think it will ever be armed with a 300mm artillery rocket TR(L)G-300 (585kg and 670kg for enhanced warhead). 230mm TRLG-230 is a more compatible option(210kg). IMHO best option would be new lighter medium-range anti-ship missile(MRAShM 300kg). It is IIR guided can be used against targets deep inside the shore. It will all depend on weapons payload capacity.

Trlg-230 and MRAShM with half the range of Atmaca appear to be more convenient missiles for ULAQ, especially when you consider the fact that more of them can be carried, and these boats can be active 400km away from your shores with a stealthy cover anyway.
But technically nothing should be stopping Trlg-300 being on these boats. If there is a will there is a way. Trlg-300 is 0.3m in diameter and around 600 kg .
If these boats can handle 1.2 ton , 7m long and 0.533m diameter Akya torpedoes ; also if they can handle an 800kg Atmaca missile with 0.35m diameter , they should be able to handle the trlg300.
But it is a decision, for the strategic planners of Turkish navy!

I think small and medium ones eventually will have some missiles.
If you carefully look; only the smallest patrol variant( 11 meters) has missiles (UMTAS+Cirit) , except the large FAC variant (25 meters), the medium sized ULAQ (13 meters) variants haven't had a FAC version, yet.
Since both platforms has separated sensor/ gun decks, it means they are after something with plug and play.
Such as, the smallest (11 meters) variants definitely will be seen with Sungur and some other missiles. Literally anything Roketsan offers with the YALMAN launcher, or a new kind of launcher.

If the upcoming I-class frigates and TF-2000 destroyer change their camo into this darker greyish colour like the mogami class frigate, they would have a more stealthy and modern touch to it

are there plans to add such a darker grey camo or will they continue to paint them in light grey?

DIMDEG will be launched in Q4 2021 (to me, it looks like Q1 2022, considering the current status).

ULAQ with TRLG-122 sakarya with 40mm a Gökdagan variant or another system would be a nice variant. Especially if they’re going to be used for ambush and such. If they’re going to carry LWT they will need less armament that sticks out to increase stealth.

I’d like to see the 122mm version as I imagine small with massive destructive capability is needed to either expend a a vessels defence capabilities, or do some serious dmg in a variety if sensors and such.

Could have to do with the water colour,blending in.
Dark oceans,blue water(dark grey),Japan,Koreas,US.
Mediterranian,North-Sea,East-Sea,Persian-Gulf,rivers etc(light grey)Italy,Greece,Türkiye,Israel,Iran,KSA,UAE,Egypt,Spain etc.

Good morning to our experts, the design had been in TAIS website for 6+ months and longer (might be a year too). Also revealed by TAIS CEO in ITU SAVTEK seminars.
