2 of the Babur class ships were built in Istanbul, while the other 2 were built in Karachi.

Khyber 2 months ago.

Another i class almost finished...
u mean this one building ?
It dont look like has Cenk radar ,aslo it looks bigger than milgem , it can be ukrainian or pakistani ones since their milgem is 108 meters .
While the other finished I class it is active duty first one since its VLS Midlas is shorter

That is either Khyber or one of the Ada class ships going maintenance.

Whatever, I don't really say I think it was a great job or anything but again, kinda bullshit comment to say "worst". I will draw one with crayons and polka dots next.

and idk about Spain or Italy's works on nuclear reactors but I am sure Spain would make a good partner for AIP since Abengoa has made some good progress on ethanol-based AIP.

Spanish civilian reactors are either French or American and have no plans for nuclear powered vessels; and Italians more than likely will use American reactors for their subs.

That leaves us. Who will give us reactors?

I was guessing starting from near zero and if thats the case I guess it would be joint work from near zero if it ever happens. If not Spain Italy is still sure to keep interest in nuclear submarines since it will want a capable attack submarine for its carrier group and we will have a similar case for MUGEM.

No one, as such such a project is impossible for the foreseeable future. Just look at what Australia has to go through and they are way closer to states like the US and UK then we are.

I would be very suprised if this materializes in any shape. I think developing MILDEN further makes more sense.

Italy would need assistance just like we do though for the reactor. I don't really see a viable way for us to get our hands on reactors for nuclear submarines.

And that is why it is better as a joint work, at this point they are eager to bond over the UCAV subject after seeing the bulkiness of EU breaucracy. As I said once before: Bu üçlü çok güçlü

They are possibly aiming for SMR's that will mature commercially from 2030s onwards and militarize / navalize it past 2040. It is all about the feasibility, a nuclear submarine should also come with a larger dimensions than what Milden currently aims for.

No one, as such such a project is impossible for the foreseeable future. Just look at what Australia has to go through and they are way closer to states like the US and UK and the we are.

Priority is Milden, the interview is slightly misunderstood at that sentence. Navy aims to succeed in Milden first to pave the way for Nuclear submarine. Milden will also come through blocks and the first hull will be mostly an experimental prototype. We are lacking major components at the moment, a nuclear reactor without a proper permanent magnet motor means little to none.

Navy Recognition's headline for this, "Turkish Navy Commander confirms plan to develop nuclear-powered submarines after actual Reis-class", certainly didn't help.
