Levent close in air defense system rocket on display in full size. I wonder if the canisters can be refilled during mission or it requires a port visit like the MIDLAS.

RAM and SeaRAM can be reloaded while underway. They have a simple winch and pulley system. Being a CIWS, it's a necessary capability.

New Levent mockup has double the front fins over the one shown in Idef last year and in a 2022 presentation btw. It's maturing.

Behold, TN is finally reflecting some changes from the field to website. The preparations for the new era, 2 frigates and 2 FACs shifted to Training class, along with TCG Beykoz that used as a test-R&D ship before, and 2 Ay-Class submarines that one used to be a test platform for some years already.

This only indicates what is waiting for us ahead; Navy needs training platforms to catch up with the new orders. One Ay class for Test, another for Training and 2 FACs for training of new FAC personnel. TCG Beykoz for OPV training.

And now we are down to 15 frigates from last year's 16 with Istanbul's inclusion this year. Constructing next 3 I class ships back to back now make much more sense.

I demand a new TCG Yavuz asap... Hopefully one of the TF2000s are named after it.

Thats mean until 2026 we have only 15 frigates , which is low number for Turkiye .
But after 2026 our navy will be alot younger with 4 istanbul class and 4 modernised barbaros class .
Then we need 4 other Istanbul class which decision was taken to replace 4 old Gabya which dont have vls .
Thats mean by 2028 we will have :
4- barbaros
8- Istanbull
4- Gabya
(16 fringates with VLS )
-Then for blue navy and to protect our interests far away and to company our Anadoly and AC . 8-12 new Tf 2000 will be build after 2028.
Thats mean 20-24 major warships for Turkiye . This number will aslo be for submarines .

yep. Delays in army, army aviation and other aircraft are pretty much apparent in shipbuilding as well. I believe this is the lowest number of active duty major combatants we had since 70s. Hopefully rest of Istif Class won't be delayed.

well, it's an old design.

Nevertheless I think there could be something to this visit. Perhaps it's to show the usefullness of the Harriers.

It’s part of Spain’s Dedalo task group. An Albaro de Bazan class frigate from the task force is also in Izmir. Group will start in Turkey and Greece, patrol in east med, Italy, west Med and then Atlantic.

Can MKE do anything by itself? It’s not even that good at actual production of already designed stuff.
