Mr. Emre Koray GENÇSOY's Linkedin Post (He's Naval Platforms Technical Manager at ASFAT, Turkey):
"At the launching ceremony of TCG Istanbul, the first ship of the İ-Class, held at the end of January 2021, PNS BABUR, with 6 blocks visible on the slipway, is ready to launch after 7 months with 37 blocks.
We sincerely congratulate the Istanbul Shipyard Command, which completed the construction with a superior performance, especially the Asfat personnel who struggled tirelessly for this cause, our design stakeholder Navtek, who did not give up the fight despite the changing design, and all our subsystem providers and subcontractors who continued to work under Covid conditions.
It was a difficult work, but thanks to the planning and collaborative method, we were able to take this rope proudly together.
It was a difficult work, but thanks to the planning and collaborative method, we were able to take this rope proudly together.
Now we have a busy year ahead of us; while aiming to quickly complete the remaining activities and start the tests, at the same time; We continue our struggle on a difficult schedule, as there is 9 months for the launching of ship 3 in Karachi and 13 months for the launching of ship 2 in ITK.
In addition to all these, we are proud of the fact that the steel cutting of TCG AKHİSAR, which is the first ship of the Offshore Patrol Ship project, whose critical design activities continue, will be carried out together with this launching ceremony.
The range is long, the goals are big, we still have a long way to go. With our team that aims to walk together with all stakeholders and is getting stronger day by day, we are determined to take every step to reach this goal.
The result so far; It is a clear proof of what can be done when action is taken in a planned manner, together with all project stakeholders.
Common goal, common success..."
May God be your helper...
The design of the PN MILGEM 1 (PNS BABUR) was changed midway during construction from the 16 cell HQ-16 launcher and two guidance radars to the 12 VLS NGAD. But they still managed to accomplish that without delay.

Defense journalist saw footage of the 20mm gatling gun being tested:
"A view from the MKE 20 mm gatling shooting tests...
20 mm gatling will be used in close air defense of naval systems.
I saw the target. The distribution of bullets is concentrated in a very narrow diameter. It was a very successful project."
