Turkish Navy’s real indigenisation of submarine program is to start as a whole from design to finished article, as the MILDEN submarine will be Turkish through and through.
Milden will be the epitome of self sufficiency of Turkish navy in submarines.
As local companies are working on Hydrogen based solutions for the power systems it is expected that a form of AIP based power and drive system is to be utilised in Milden. But as the seas surrounding Turkish mainland are deep enough to support nuclear submarines, a nuclear powered sub can not be excluded either.
