President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, "We will make another agreement with the Spanish and hopefully increase our aircraft carriers to 2 by bringing the improved version of TCG Anadolu to our country."


That's about all there is in the "article". Wonder what he meant by "improved version".

Improved version = Designed as a drone mothership from the start. TCG Anadolu is a LHD.

BTW military also wants to power military bases and forward operating bases with SMRs in the (distant) future.

Even if the initial intention is not that a fool like me can claim that this design may evolve to carry gezgin, land attack atmaca, çakır or may be even bora or tayfun in the future

It should be able to fire ATMACA and Gezgin from Torpedo tubes.

I wholeheartedly hope so, and I've already said it here a few times I think, that would be the best use of TCG Trakya. A mothership for UAVs and USVs.

dont take my words serious but you know the position of the Sail is very very intersting ... just my wishfull thinking again. the center of gravity .... I mean if the sail is in the front what is at back? national AIP or missiles? :devilish: just kidding or I am not.

thanks any more details like the numbers or the size of VLS? so Milden will be similar to KSS III? national AIP? guess we can claim that MILDEN is the second most complex project that we have after KAAN?

I see, so that was your surprise that you withheld previously?
And we had it covered in Naval programs. It wasn't all but i am still expecting steel cutting to made within this year and hoping to hear more.

There isn't much information on that, even the VLS provided in models/sketches are still premilinary. Morelikely to show the intentions, not the capacity. National AIP was among the key projects as well. Not only that but Navy intends to have all major components made local.

We have the right weapons for MILDEN VLS, i think 6 Tayfun fired from MILDEN will hurt our enemies :D . IF you look what 35 years old ATACMS did in Ukraine. What kind effect will be Tayfun launched from subs will do?

S-80 on its way to Türkiye

Türkiye and Spain decided to work together on the S-80 submarine.

According to the information HaberDenizi.com received from defense sources, the two parties decided to work together on the S-80 submarine built by Spanish Navantia. The submarines are planned to be built in Turkey under the company's license.



Uhmm?? Is this supposed to be a buy or a joint venture for third country exports?

I don't believe this. It doesn't make any sense.

How reliable is this site`?

Maybe @Anmdt knows more.
I lost it at;

'Savunma kaynaklarindan alinan bilgi'

and

'DM2A4 and Sub Harpoon'.

The author has zero knowledge on how hard Navy works to master AKYA torpedoe and Sub-Atmaca, and intends to make these two and later others as striking force of submarine flotilla (and i don't need to emphasize integration of SEDA, Advent, etc.).

Use your common sense dear fellows, in bilateral meetings these things are spoken, then shifted to technical committees where its realized (and mostly it does not). But Spaniards are seen as one likely partner in Milden's detail design process.

I could've understood this, if S-80 was something groundbreaking with features we haven't seen or mastered yet. Maybe I'm missing something because it doesn't even seem like it has any of those. No doubt we've talked about TCG Trakya, but it'd be surprising if we went ahead with something like S-80 while we are so far into the MİLDEN project.
