Speaking at the launching ceremony of TCG-Istanbul , President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that negotiations for the production of the domestic and national aircraft carrier started after TCG Anadolu .
Turkey to have the aircraft carrier has long been a controversial issue. Failure to take the F-35B to TCG-Anadolu seems to have strengthened the idea of an aircraft carrier.
The Turkish Navy has a ship with fighter jets, and air force support is on the agenda in regions where the Turkish Armed Forces is or is likely to operate. Especially in Libya, this need was understood more. When Turkey's geography is active in much more distant from Libya and will increase further this need to be considered.
The backbone of the Turkish Air Force consists of F-16 warplanes. It is possible to operate in Libya with F-16s, which are shorter than single-engine and twin-engine warplanes. However, a limited number of fighter jets can operate in Libya with air refueling 2-3 times. This is a situation that makes the operation difficult and the pilots. The National Combat Aircraft will be built with a twin engine. However, showing presence in countries across much longer distances from Turkey to Libya. It is possible that the situation in Libya nowadays will be experienced in Africa, maybe even in Pakistan and even more distant geographies.
For this reason, a modest aircraft carrier is now a requirement of the Turkish Naval Forces. If F-35B fighter planes could be purchased to TCG-Anadolu, this need would have been met at a certain level. With the production of TCG Trakya in addition to TCG-Anatolia, the air power requirement of the Turkish Navy would be met. However, the F-35B possibility is now almost impossible. Even if she got better relations to a certain place in Turkey will no longer want to stay connected to any country in such a big project.
Turkish Defense Industry researchers, enthusiasts, generally view the Turkish Navy to have an aircraft carrier. Two reasons stand out in this view. Turkey's defense budget and not be desirable to have a task force sufficient to protect an aircraft carrier.
From the words of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who spoke at the TCG-Istanbul's landing ceremony, the Turkish Naval Forces will play a much more important role in the Turkish Armed Forces in the coming years. The concept of Blue Homeland is gaining importance and this situation is frequently expressed by the highest levels of the state. The events taking place gradually increase the importance of the navy. If we look at these developments, it can be predicted that larger budgets will be transferred to the Turkish Armed Forces and Turkish Naval Forces.
The other reason was the need for a task force to protect the aircraft carrier. The first ship of the Class I frigate project was launched. It has been announced that the other 3 ships will be completed by 2027. Private shipyards are expected to play a role in the construction of the other 3 ships. With such production, the Class I frigate project can be completed in a short time and military shipyards can start the construction of TF-2000 air defense destroyers.
Good news was given about the national VLS vertical throwing system project at the launching ceremony of TCG-Istanbul . National VLS will be used in TCG-Istanbul. Hisar and Göktuğ air-air missiles are expected to be used in warships. Gökdeniz CIWS is ready. National laser guns are also expected to appear on Turkish warships in the near future. Trench long-range air defense missiles are also expected to enter the inventory in the near future. MKE is working on domestic 76 mm and different navy gun systems. There are Ukrainian and UK alternatives for engines.
Considering the latest developments, localization projects, the expectation of allocating more shares to the defense budget, and the cost reductions that come with localization, it seems possible for the Turkish Navy to have a modest aircraft carrier in the near future. In addition, such a need has been formed.
The Turkish Shipbuilding Industry has now exceeded a certain stage. A modest aircraft carrier can be built with domestic facilities or with technical support from abroad, as in TCG Anadolu.
However, when it comes to an aircraft carrier, it is more about the fighter planes and warplane take-off systems that will be deployed on the ship rather than the ship.
The countries that can produce aircraft carrier-stationed warplanes in the world are the USA, France, Russia and China. China produced these aircraft with Russian technology. He only made take-off landing attempts with Tejas aircraft in India. It produced the past aircraft carrier-deployed Harier aircraft in England and has a very serious work share in the F-35B project. No country's aircraft carrier stationed in Turkey does not seem possible to buy fighter aircraft. built with Russian technology aircraft will not accept Turkey because of the country's bitter experience. If Turkey wants to have the aircraft carrier could be called on to produce its own aircraft.
It is not easy to produce aircraft carrier-based warplanes. However, it is not impossible. When developing the Turkey-Britain relations, considering such a project carried out by the UK's technical support. Britain is currently providing technical support to national combat aircraft.
National Combat Aircraft
An aircraft carrier can be developed over the national combat aircraft. In addition, Hürjet, which is expected to enter the inventory much earlier, can develop a limited-capability aircraft carrier-deployed warplane. It even provides technical background and experience in the Hürjet ship-based warplane project.
One of the most important systems for aircraft carriers is aircraft launch systems. Two types of aircraft launch systems are used in the world. CATOBAR and STOBAR.CATOBAR The process of launching the plane with a catapult. STOBAR is the system that helps take-off with an angled ramp and enables the aircraft to take off with its own engine power. The STOBAR system has disadvantages in terms of full load and take-off in bad combat conditions. For this reason, it can be said that it is not preferred.
Mig-29K Take-off with STOBAR
In the CATOBAR system, the catapult that enables the aircraft to take off is powered by steam or electromagnetic systems. Only USA and France have aircraft carriers with CATOBAR system in the world. Steam-powered CATOBAR systems are supplied by the nuclear reactor. The electromagnetic system, on the other hand, provides take-off by using electrical energy.
Take Off with Steam CATOBAR
Many companies in Turkey working on electromagnetic cannon systems. With the knowledge gained from these studies, the launch system for the aircraft carrier can be developed. However, the USA is the only country that currently produces and uses this system. China is working on this project. It is a very difficult system to develop.
As a result, considering the current projects, it seems possible for the Turkish Navy to have an aircraft carrier in the near future. Considering the construction period of the TCG-Anadolu, it can be predicted that the ship and many systems stationed on the ship will be ready until an aircraft carrier is produced and delivered to the navy. 2030-2035'l year in Turkey may have an aircraft carrier.
Italian for Turkey as an aircraft carrier Cavour and Trieste ships, the French Charles De Gaulle ships and aircraft carriers in South Korea's aircraft carrier design may be similar in size to sample.
