That sounds way more realistic and doable than the "Let's arm it as if it was a Corvette/Frigate"

Small and compact solutions are the key here, and it has been mentioned earlier in the thread.

As well as the Sonobuoy network-centric solutions. I've also mentioned how fond I am of the idea of having Smart Buoys in our waters and EEZ in a spiderweb-like formation. That can hopefully function as passive signal relayer of sorts.

But I'm not a engineer or so, so I don't know how much our smallest sonars weight and whether it can be fitted into a Buoy of sorts.


Found this and it's the smallest, so it should be possible to make one that would work according to some defense doctrin.

IMO we must have acoustic sensors network.

Regarding Tuzla Class, i quit because again i met conservatives.

Yes, but those are too small. We want something bigger, like these and have civilian, marine biological institutes do the placing and gathering of data, and even involve TCG into this, so that we have an excuse to develop TCG capabilities further.

Of course the sonar part should be there in some of these buoys so that the enemy can't tell.

Turkiye’s leading naval engineering company STM unveiled a new unmanned autonomous underwater vehicle, STM NETA, at the SAHA EXPO 2024 defense industry exhibition in Istanbul. This system, designed using entirely local and national resources, marks a significant milestone in Turkey’s development of naval technologies. The initial version of the UUV, named the STM NETA 300, is intended for mine detection missions and has broad applications in both military and civilian operations.

Reis class submarines in training. The first submarine of the Reis Class Submarine Project, TCG PİRİREİS, and the second submarine, TCG HIZIRREİS, built within the scope of the Air Independent Propulsion System Submarine Project, conducted “Acclimation Training and Vertical Replenishment Training with Helicopter” in the Marmara Sea.

We waited so long for this.

What does TCG Anadolu do in it's missions currently? It doesn't have any helicopters on board, it doesn't have any USVs in it. Does it just wonder around empty without any mission load?

its amphibious ship with dock...why people just dont get it
It supposed to have helicopters though.

Landing Helicopter Dock
It is not an LPD with a flat top landing pad and a dock
It is an LHD with a flat top having access to a hangar where helicopters may be maintained, stored and with a Dock.

If we are utilizing her as an LPD then i have no issues with the current form but it has never been the purpose since 2010. The project changed from having an LPD at 10,000 tons~ to LHD at 25,000~ tons.

From the same exercise.

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.

I wish they would develop something like MQ-8C drone for the navy, Alpin Titra is seems weak and not suitable for sea conditions.
Like any other, that is a venue that needs to be explored.
Americans are unhappy with it.

"...according to the service’s fiscal year 2025 budget request, which earmarks no funding for the 36 MQ-8Cs the service has acquired. “Operational employment of the MQ-8C will end in Q4 FY2024 and sundown will be completed by Q4 FY2026

Asked why the service is retiring a capability it referred to as “a pillar in the navy and Marine Corps unmanned campaign plan” as recently as May 2022, Adams says the decision is rooted in cost versus capability.

“If you look at Fire Scout right now, it’s sitting around $28 million per copy. I can do the same mission with a $100,000 to $250,000 piece of gear. That’s what has changed – the maturation of group 3 UAV systems since that time.”

"Group 3 unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are vehicles weighing less than 599kg (1,320lb) and that fly slower than 250kt (463km/h), like the Boeing Insitu RQ-21 Blackjack now in service with the USN and US Marine Corps for ISR missions."

So will Alpin be optimal solution?

Maybe, or something like the S-100. But by their nature rotorcraft have lower endurance.

IMO, Fly BVLOS's VTOL capable fixed wing UAV was a very good approach for naval platforms, and the platform could be further developed and expanded with the support of SANs if navy consider it.

I also wish that Kemankeş, which rocket-assisted take-off is being currently testing, had a net-capture system for the navy. If this loitering system can be stowed with a closed canister, we may the option of integrating it into most naval vessels in future, esp for missile boats.
