Turkse wapens in opkomst

[Huzaar1]

Ach de Turken hebben laatst een straaljager gepresenteerd, ben de naam even kwijt maar dat was nog veel indrukwekkender.

Ding leek erg op de F-35

[Jooop]

Indrukwekkend arsenaal aan UAV's dat de Turken hebben gebouwd

[Jooop]

Hmm Turken schijnen de smaak van klonen goed te pakken te hebben (AMRAAM en Sidewinder kloon?)

[Jooop]

Harpoon kloon?

Lijkt er wel op, maar ja Exocet lijkt er ook wel op.

[StrataNL]

Nieuwe anti ship missile

Harpoon kloon?

[Ros]

Zijn dat niet twee sleepogen aan de voorkant? Als het een laadklep moet voorstellen, dan komt het wel krap over.

Uitklapbaar om het boeggolf effect op te vangen. Beetje hetzelfde als bij de M113.

[Sparkplug]

Turks FNSS komt met een AAV7 clone, kan niet anders. Lijkt een gemoderniseerd versie ervan.

Met laadklep aan de voorkant?

TCG Alemdar Submarine Rescue Mother Ship (MOSHIP) entered service with the Turkish Naval Forces Command in January 2017.






Preparing for the Worst, Turkish Navy Awards Contract for Submarine Rescue Mother Ship

Rolls-Royce and Istanbul Shipyard will be working together following their announcement today of an award by the Turkish Navy for three new ships.  Istanbul Shipyard will design and build one Submarine Rescue Mother Ship (MOSHIP) and two Rescue and Towing Ships at their yard in Tuzla, and Rolls-Royce will supply tunnel thrusters and retractable thrusters for all three vessels. In addition Rolls-Royce Azipull main propulsion thrusters will be supplied for the MOSHIP.




MOSHIP is a dedicated submarine rescue mother ship designed to perform subsea and surface search and rescue missions in various sea conditions.  This vessel is capable of detecting distressed submarines, providing life support including ventilation and pod posting, evacuating her crew up to 600 meters of depth and transferring them under pressure up to 5 Bar.

Operational Capabilities Include:

- Search and rescue up to and including sea state 6
- Sea bottom imaging, high acoustic capabilities
- Towed Side Scan Sonar (TSSS) operations
- Detecting the distressed submarine
- Position keeping at 4 knots current and sea state 4 with Class II Dynamic Positioning System
- Providing life support to the crew including ELSS pod posting

Keel Laying of Future Turkish Navy LHD TCG Anadolu

Spanish shipyard Navantia announced today that the keel of the future Turkish Navy Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) has been laid at the Turkish shipyard of SEDEF (a member of TAIS Shipyards) in Tuzla, Istanbul. The vessel, which will be named TCG Anadolu, is based on Navantia's Juan Carlos I vessel already commissioned with the Spanish and Australian navies.


The keel of the future TCG Anadolu LHD has been laid in Turkey

Turkey began the construction of its first LHD / amphibious assault ship in April 2016. President of Turkish Republic Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared during the first steel cut ceremony that "TCG Anadolu will be the first ship in the navy from which F-35B SVTOL planes will operate".

President Erdogan also declared that TCG Anadolu would be delivered in 4 years (compared to the originally planned 5 years and a half).

Turkey's Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM) announced in December 2013 that it selected Sedef shipyard as winner of its LPD tender and that final contract negotiations with this shipyard could begin. Sedef shipyard in Turkey offers a design based on Juan Carlos LHD under the collaboration with Spain's Navantia.

Landing Platform Dock Project
According to SSM, the Landing Platform Dock Project (LPD)'s main purpose is the acqusition of one Landing Platform Dock in order to meet the operational requirements of Turkish Naval Forces. The scope of the procurement is for:
- 1 LPD and
- Four Landing Craft Mechanics (LCM)
- Twenty seven Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAV),
- Two Landing Craft Personnel Vehicles (LCVP),
- One Commander Boat
- One RHIB (Rubber Hull Inflated Boat) will be acquired

One of the requirement was for a Privately Owned Turkish Shipyard to be main contractor, also responsible for design, construction, integration and tests and final performance.

The other proposals which were rejected were:
RMK Marine Shipyard offering its own indigenous design and Desan shipyard offering a design based on South Korea's Dokdo class. At the early stage of the tender a Chinese company submitted its design proposal but then backed away.

Turkish Navy LHD Mission Profiles and Capabilities

The ship is to be designed for four mission profiles:
» Amphibious ops: Capable of transporting a marine infantry force to carry out landing and support operations.
» Force Projection: Transporting forces to a theatre of operations.
» Aircraft Carrier: A platform for carrier-based naval aircrafts, acting as a flight deck for strategic projection airborne vectors (Navy's Air Wing)
» Humanitarian air ops: MOOTW (Military Operations Other Than War), humanitarian assistance, evacuation of crisis area, hospital ship in areas affected by natural disaster, etc.

Ja, dat moet wel DIRCM zijn. Knap gevonden!

Bovenop vlak boven de zwarte uitlaten zit er nog een.

[Jooop]

Mogelijk een laser countermeasure tegen inkomende raketten (Directional Infrared Countermeasure / DIRCM)of een sensor die raket lanceringen kan waarnemen.
