What is this, a planet phaser?
Bro, the existing technology in the world not allows downsizing airburst ammo smaller than 30 mm without a significant decrease in efffectiveness of warhead as you cannot decrease fuze size and weight. May be in future, but not now.Aselsan was working on 25mm and 35mm CIWS concepts 3-4 years ago. 25mm variant was even introduced with a missile (likely Sungur) at the sides of the turret at a presentation but I don’t know what happened to 25mm concept. After Aselsan developed 35mm and 40mm ATOM munitions, They didn’t invest on 25mm ATOM so Army most likely requested a new CIWS-like platform based on existing 35mm infrastructure. By this way, Aselsan revealed Korhan 35mm and is preparing to reveal a single barrel Korkut for fixed stations. Modified variant of these can be used as a lighter CIWS on naval platforms addition to existing Gökdeniz.

its totally wrong, if you look at Gokdeniz design, its specifically designed to make low radar signature, unlike in Phalanx those round shape on top of it will pop up on radar like crazy... another reason Turkey used RAM in ADA class
There will be another MILGEM frigate project after the TF-2000, they will replace the (not yet) modernized Barabros-class in the 2030s.
It is the future
Could be a model placed by the organizers without STM being aware. The details are badly finished and resembles past TF-2000 designs.
Milgem project never ends. TF-2000 is also part of Milgem, the future frigate is, as well.
Every ship is being replaced with a more capable one with higher amount of firepower, same to be expected for Barbaros class. It would be naive to expect same firepower.
For now the Navy is going to replace older ships, i also hope and wish that the combat fleet grows but... Navy has it's roadmap and knows what's inside the budget and what not.

Turkey should develop those kind of rounds for naval and ground artillery. I think most of them are subprojectile rounds and we can start by developing conventional rounds. For example Italian Vulcano fired from 127mm can reach 100km+, Dart fired from 76mm reaches further than conventional CIWS .. If we equipped our platforms with those kind of ammunition, it would be a force multiplier. Unfortunately this technology will affect ship defense requirement, so we need to act fast for countermeasures too.I would like those 127mm guns to fire hyper velocity rounds too. It is the future of these bigger guns as per the US navy is experimenting.
Hypervelocity Projectile
The HVP is a next-generation, common, low drag, guided projectile capable of executing multiple missions for a number of gun systems.www.baesystems.com
Navy Quietly Fires 20 Hyper Velocity Projectiles Through Destroyer’s Deckgun - USNI News
Last summer USS Dewey (DDG-105) fired 20 hyper velocity projectiles (HVP) from a standard Mk 45 5-inch deck gun in a quiet experiment that’s set to add new utility to the weapon found on almost every U.S. warship, officials familiar with the test have told USNI News. The test, conducted by the...
Correct! As we are in good cooperation mood with BAE Systems in TFX program we could ask them to work together with us in developing the Turkish version of the Hyper Velocity Projectile weapons systems. This would benefit our precision artillery round and railgun development programs too as these rounds are modular and can be used in 155mm , 127mm and in a railgun.
It is the future
Everything from WWII is being repurposed with developed sensors and shrunk guidance fitting into 76/127mm shells.

It is early for TF-100. But if it happens i would still prefer sketches made by Naval shipyard in the past for 4000+ tonnes instead of this.

Yavuz - to be replaced by I class, 8 to 16 SSM, 16 SS to 64 ESSM.
Gabya to replaced by TF-2000, ? to 16 SSM, 32 SAM +32 ESSM to 48 (32) SAM + 64 ESSM + 0(16) ASuW
Barbaros - ?
Not even including increase in ASW, helicopter operations etc capabilities.
Replied here, STM doesn't work on a TF2000 design (actually they do as primary contractor of Turkish navy or any other design company for contract-detail design, but Turkish Navy leads the project)
to be honest i dont think so... why would someone make a render mistake but actually design a perfect ship? its a very uniq design in reality.. its a message i guess after making a deal with Ukraine about the engines..
