Unfortunately, SSB sold İstif-class frigates İzmir (F-516) and İçel (F-518) to Indonesia. The Navy will only receive İzmir (F-517). In my opinion, we should have promptly taken delivery of the first four frigates for the Turkish Navy, and we should have allocated two frigates from the second batch to Indonesia. I don't know what the rush is? Indonesia could have waited for two years, but we urgently need those frigates.

This is indeed unacceptable and unbelievable. Indonesia should have obtained the two after our two batches. It seems they don't view a naval war likely with Greece under Trump. Still, I don't understand many things they are doing. I thought at least Navy's decisions were good, but was proven wrong it appears.

There is both pressure and support from the government.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Guys look at the new design and such a great strike capacity for 120 meter ship.
Are there some lessons for us? First I see double frontal and rear point defense systems . (2x Gökdeniz and Levent )

Also at front and both sides two balconies for surface and ASW threats. You could put there 3X 30mm VENOM with ATGMS.

Also new trends is strait bow design, I'd like to know advantages of strait bow design. Why do Turkish shipyards construct frigates like Ford transit Vans

As far as I know, the Navy blocked that deal, informing defense industry authorities that the Navy urgently needs those frigates. Indonesia is offered frigates from the second batch.

Why not just build new would probably take less than 3 years and till istif is fully armed with quadpack and siper will be at least 2 years

It will take between 8-10 years until first milden is in Service.

Bayraktar TB3 to Begin Operations on TCG Anadolu in September

Rear Admiral Recep Erdinç Yetkin, in an interview with Breaking Defense reporter Agnes Helou during the Teknofest Blue Homeland event, alongside Baykar Chairman of the Board Selçuk Bayraktar, announced the service entry timeline for the Bayraktar TB3.

Developed by Baykar, the Bayraktar TB3 UAV will begin operations aboard the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu in September 2025. This development is regarded as a significant milestone for the Turkish Navy in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles.

To add, "Anadolu Task Group" seems mostly stood unchanged since its latest activation back in May, again for Neptune Strike 2024.1

1 Ada Class, 1 frigate(G or Meko), 3 army Cougars, 2 AH-1Ws, 1-2 Seahawks and a contingent of marines. And to add again, we don't know how many birds are in the lower deck. There are 40 aviation guys in the photo below. These 7 helicopters would have 24 personnel at most. They are either there for training or there might be more helicopters attached.

Anadolu Task Group is once again reactivated for Neptune Strike 25/3 with Anadolu, 2 Gabya Class frigates and Gür class sub I. İnönü. I also see 3 AH-1Ws in the hangar deck. Army Cougars and hopefully a Chinook will be deployed from army bases once she's on her way. I do hope we see some TB3 action in ISR role, but don't see it deployed on it.
