Turkey Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

TF-2000 Frigate

Nice post superpock but this imagine is from the IDEF 2015 which showed the Milgem project not the TF2000 FFG project

TF2000 will be a large FFG close to DDG tonnage

Milgem 4+4 ships

The second batch configuration is due to be finalised by this years end

It's interesting because the Milgem started out as a 8 ship contract now it's split between two batches with improvements which I think is a great idea first 4 are in the bag next 4 are due from next year

A A400 has gone down in Spain

Turkish media saying it was one of theirs



News is breaking as of now

Sorry to hear this.

I hope there are survivors...but usually, if it was doing anything other than taking off or landing, there are not many survivors of such mishaps.

Condolences to any and all who were lost.

I really like this design, so much punch in such a small package. 50+ Knots however... I am not sure how they can reach that speed.

I have no idea about that speed but recently I found out about another nice feature of the Turkish OPV: they can be assembled/outfitted at the customer's site like here:

it's in Turkmenistan

(I think the location is:

and shows two of the Tuzla-class modified for Turkmenistan (I've read they'll be able to shoot the Otomat AShMs, and I guess they were not interested in the sonar
(the source is a Russian forum, but the discussion there was indignant so I'm not going to post the link here)

EDIT
