Looks like Barbaros MLU finally started for the second ship already. Salihreis is the lucky one.

Here is the latest design with 2 band Flat Planar Arrays (ECM suite) and 2 more EA antennas.

I'm hoping 25mm guns will also be able to engage aerial targets. Also, any word on the drone launchers they mentioned before?

Possibly not and nothing heard of that UAV launcher yet, nor USV interoperatibility. They have given up modular space that possibly could have been utilized for UUV/USV integration. That leaves us with stern-ramp currently.
I would very much like to see two more 35 mm ( single barrel gökdeniz ) on each sides for addes protection.

For new they have seem to focus a comprehensive EW suite covering all the bands except of the low-frequency (V/UHF) bands. Earlier designs had V/UHF ED, later omitted.

That's a bit of a shame, really, it was a brilliant idea to have loitering munitions on hand. And, if 25mm can't reliably (or at all) engage aerial targets then I agree that a couple of either 35 or 30 mm guns on each side is necessary. Asymmetric threats are becoming even more of an issue with each passing day, I hope we'll be ready.

The second Reis-class submarine TCG Hızırreis was delivered to the Turkish Naval Forces today.

TurDef presents TF-2000 Air Defence Destroyer, designed to provide area air defence for future MUGEM and TCG Anadolu within Turkish Navy strike-group operations

According to turdef there are plans for Tf2000 light under consideration.
My guesses is after 4 TF2000 a price optimised frigate/destroyer will come with a reduced systems instead cafrad only the multi function radar would remain and for long range use one single Rotating radar

I was never supportive of TF2000 destroyers, for the simple fact that they were far too expensive and too big for what we need (They would be great target practice pieces in Sea of Islands). Also the loss of any of these would be devastating.
But having started building one, it is only feasible to build a sister ship to keep it company and then concentrate our efforts on the building of at least 8 more Gabya sized -4500-5000ton- frigates. The above article’s last paragraph makes a good point of it. So I thought of bringing it out in to black and white here.

The TF-2000 is not the sole future combat ship design that is currently under consideration by the Design Project Office. Research and development efforts are ongoing into the designation of an intermediate class, which has provisionally been referred to as TF-2000 Flight II. The platforms have been designed to embody the modern equivalent of the Gabya-Class Frigates (Ex. Oliver Hazard Perry Class) that serve in the Turkish Navy, in terms of their mission capacity, weapon systems, long-range mission capabilities, and sensor infrastructure. The objective is to develop general-purpose frigates that can support task forces and aircraft carrier groups when necessary, while ensuring cost-effectiveness in both initial acquisition and operational expenditures. These vessels are designed to exhibit high levels of manoeuvrability. It is currently planned that the platforms, which will be 120-130 metres long with a displacement of 4,000 to 5,000 tonnes, will reach a speed of 27-28 knots with diesel propulsion. The weapon and sensor load will be similar to that of the TF-2000s, according to the shared information. The fact that the Gabya-Class Frigates have reached the end of their economic service life, coupled with the Turkish Naval Forces' increasing operational periods throughout the year and the Istif Class vessels reaching the end of their growth margin, means that a modern multi-purpose frigate is becoming an increasingly pressing requirement for the Turkish Naval Forces. The rapid execution of this step, in conjunction with the objective of establishing a comparable infrastructure with TF-2000, can be regarded as a pivotal vision in the context of accelerating processes and minimising initial acquisition and operating expenses.

I think after TF-2000, we will need a class between TF-2000 and Istif class which it will attack/saturate the deep land areas to dominate the enemy soils.
