Need for TF-2000 is imperial ambitions in near east. Do our coasts really need air defense heavy frigate TF-2000?

Land based Çakır launchers, UAVs, USV, unmanned subs, Fast Attack Crafts and Tuzla Class patrol boats are enough for our costs.

You're comparing apples to oranges here, those platforms you mention and TF2000 have different tasks. TF2000 would be like having a first line of defence against enemy air strikes from the sea, giving us even more cover.

This is not a FAC (Fast Attack Craft). This is a light corvette or we can call it a heavy gunboat, to bring back gunboat legacy.
IMHO, Navy still needs a true FAC design to complement this, optimized for speed and firepower instead of endurance and tonnage. It can be either manned or unmanned. Speed around 55 knots 8x SSM+smaller tactical missiles, 35mm CIWS at the front, RAM at the back. 400-450 tonnes displacement.
No they turn away that idea,remember STM design with 55 knots,its not good for bad whether even for island sea,you can not even stand up position on board with 55 knot/400 ton FAC.Üsküdar biz have good article for that idea.
