>> - "Turkey to build its own aircraft carriers – Erdogan"
Turkey is “committed” to building its own aircraft carriers the Turkish President has said. Recep Tayyip Erdogan added that Ankara is seeking self-sufficiency in its defense industry and will not allow anyone to block its military initiatives.
“We will build our own aircraft carriers,” Erdogan said at the launching ceremony of the new Turkish Kinaliada Corvette at the Istanbul Navy shipyard.
The Kinaliada Corvette has been built locally under Turkey’s MILGEM national warship program aimed at building frigates with anti-submarine capabilities based on Turkish domestic technologies. The Kinaliada is the fourth Ada class corvette built under this project as three such corvettes had already been commissioned by the Turkish Navy.
The Kinaliada Corvette will be fully operational by 2019, Turkish media report.
Erdogan emphasized that his country should develop a self-sufficient defense industry, which, he said, is “critical to [Turkey’s] security.”
“Turkey aims to end its dependency on the foreign defense industry by 2023,” he said, adding, that Ankara already prides itself on its ability to build warships, especially submarines.
“The backbone of our plans must be based on national opportunities. If necessary, we must make sacrifices in the way of time and costs.”
“If we had not done this for the past 15 years, we would not be able to carry out cross-border operations against terrorist organizations due to the secret embargoes applied to our country,” Erdogan said, as cited by the Yeni Safak daily.
"All these developments are an expression of our commitment to the solutions we have developed in the maritime field against the threats in the region of our country," he said.
Turkey has already launched 14 military ship construction projects and ten more would be launched in the coming years, Erdogan announced.
The Turkish leader also warned that his country would not tolerate any attempts to block or impede its military development efforts.
It is not the first time that Erdogan has spoken of Turkey’s ambitions to build an aircraft carrier. In June 2016, the Turkish president said his country had “no obstacle” to domestically build a full-fledged aircraft carrier “under the current government.”
Erdogan said Turkey would be ready to begin construction of such a warship after its amphibious assault ship, the TCG Anadolu, is completed in 2021.
Turkey to buy S-400 from Russia: Minister
Turkey will cooperate with France and Italy on developing a national missile defense system project, Defense Minister Fikri Işık said on July 4, adding that the focus was on “development of the systems” rather than purchasing.
The country will meet its immediate demands by buying S-400 systems from Russia, he underlined.
“In the framework of our project to develop our national defense system project, we will cooperate with France and Italy. This decision has already been taken. We are now in talks with the U.S. to cooperate in this area as well,” Işık said in an interview on state broadcaster TRT Haber, as quoted by Reuters.
“We will, however, meet our immediate demands by buying the S-400 systems, and developing our own national air and missile defense systems,” he added.
“All technical work is completed, and we have arrived at the final decision point on buying S-400 systems from Russia,” Işık said.
He added that the financial side of issue is being negotiated right now and the final decision could be taken within the next few days.

TAI Delivers First Turkish JSF/F-35 Center
Fuselage
Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI), a Northrop Grumman Corporation second-source supplier based in Ankara, Turkey, has delivered the first center fuselage to be used in the production of the first Turkish JSF/F-35 Lightning II aircraft.
Designated AT-1, this center fuselage is the 21st center fuselage built by TAI and will be delivered to Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas, for integration into the final assembly of the first Turkish JSF/F-35 aircraft. Delivery of the first Turkish JSF/F-35 aircraft is planned for 2018.
TAI produces center fuselages for the worldwide fleet of JSF/F-35s and delivers them to the Final Assembly and Checkout (FACO) facilities in Cameri, Italy, and Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth, Texas.
TAI began building composite parts for the JSF/F-35 in 2008. Their scope of work increased in 2009 to include building structural assemblies. The first TAI-built center fuselage was delivered in Dec. 2013. TAI will build 400 center fuselages.
"Delivery of the first Turkish JSF/F-35 aircraft is a very important milestone." said Temel Kotil, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President, TAI. "TAI being one of the distinguished members of JSF/F-35 world-wide community will keep delivering highest quality Center Fuselages just on time."
"TAI has played an integral part in the production of the JSF/F-35 for more than a decade," said Frank Carus, Vice President and JSF/F-35 Program Manager for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "They can be very proud of delivering the first TAI-built center fuselage to be used in the first Turkish JSF/F-35 - it's a big milestone for the program and a great team effort."
"TAI's enduring contributions to the F-35 Program continue to drive significant results for the business," said Jeff Babione, Executive Vice President & General Manager of the F-35 Lightning II Program, Lockheed Martin. "Through TAI's production of F-35 center fuselages, the strength of our industrial partnership is clearly evident."
In 2002, Turkey joined as one of the original partner countries on the JSF/F-35 program. The other partner countries are Australia, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom and the United States. Partners had direct input in the design phase of the aircraft and like TAI; companies worldwide are now participating in the JSF/F-35's production.

Amphibious-
Btw the talk of a second LHD is real
When the first one enters the water the steel cut will be done for second
Also another 2 x LST are on the cards
2 x LST done
7 x LCT done
Submarines-
Plus indigenous submarine Milden
Also the 6 x U-214TN
Warships-
4 x Ada class done
4 x Istanbul class started steel cut Jan 2016
4 x TF2000 under development
None of the ones above are "on paper programmes" they are actually under construction and funds allocated
Turkish navy will be one hell of a naval power
