Turkish Navy MELTEM II CASA CN-235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft Tracked Russian Navy Corvette
9ytfABI.jpg

According to Russian media, a Turkish Navy Meltem II CASA CN-235 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) tracked two Russian Navy Black Sea fleet surface vessels during their transit to the Mediterranean Sea. The two vessels are likely Project 21631 small missile ship (Buyan-M class corvette) Zelyony Dol and the ocean-going mine-sweeper Kovrovets. We reported about their deployment last week.

Thales was the prime contractor for the Meltem II programme, which called for the delivery of six maritime patrol aircraft for the Turkish Navy and three maritime surveillance aircraft for the Turkish Coast Guard. The aircraft are based on modified CASA CN-235 platforms.

The Meltem II aircraft of the Turkish Navy are fitted with an ASELFLIR-200 Airborne Thermal Imaging System by Aselsan, Airbus Defence and Space AN/AAR-60 Missile Warning System, CAE AN/ASQ-508(V) MAD system. Thales supplied a number of systems as well: the AMASCOS solution (Airborne MAritime Situation & Control System), the DR 3000A ESM system and the Ocean Master 400 Mk2 radar.

Meltem II MPAs can deploy the Mk46 NEARTIP Mod 5 torpedo, as well as AN/SSQ-53E DIFAR and AN/SSQ-62D DICASS sonobuoys. It is also fitted with the AN/ALE-47 Airborne Countermeasures Dispenser System by BAE Systems.

about a dozen chinnoks on order form Turkey a good heavy lift

Also if Turkey is going to add F35B to the LHD then they need to have another LHD

Fitting out one LHD with fixed wing aircraft will require heavy modification, the stores, fuels and space it will take up will leave little room for helicopters

It will neither be a fixed wing or neither helicopter carrier

So they need to add another LHD for helicopters now

One for fixed wing one for helicopters

4 to have one of each deployed 24/7

''LHD ANADOLU, scheduled to be delivered by 2021, will have capability of carrying helicopters, aircraft F-35B, which is able to land and take-off vertically, and a wide range of amphibious vehicles. It will have been provided with cutting-edge technology communications electronics and command control systems.''

Well, to date there are no Turkish F-35B orders.

Sort of like the Japanese with their new Izumo class carrier...until we see funding and then orders for F-35Bs, it will not happen.

I hope it does...in both cases.
