Major boost for our Navy.
Another 4 I class for the navy, this 4 will replace old Yavuz class. Looks like 16 modern Frigattes. Hisar Class OPV. total 26 ships 2030+. Hisar Class is a modulair ship what always can be armed more when it needs. Overal not bad, we will have 8 AESA radar ships. The first test block for the MILDEN subs are going the start and they will get VLS, what this test block is i don't now.
In the Defense Industry Executive Committee; Decisions were taken for the construction of Offshore Patrol Vessels, New Type Landing Ships, New Generation Mine Hunting Ship and National Assault Boat.
What important is, for the agean sea we need FAC, Assualt boats what translator means. Ther wher several project going on for that so what it was we will see soon.
Design phase for AC will start. I hope 50000ton+...
Great Idea although focus should be Destroyers firstI hope we see Pakistan join this aircraft carrier program and operate the J-35, UCAVs, and KJ-400 AEW from it.
I believe that Türkiye herself is not going to treat the second AC as an urgent matter. I don't see the government rushing to start this project either. Frankly, we shouldn't forget that Türkiye is heading towards local elections in March of this year, if you get what I mean...I hope we see Pakistan join this aircraft carrier program and operate the J-35, UCAVs, and KJ-400 AEW from it.
Absolutely, I agree. Pakistan will likely pursue an original submarine project (so as to replace the Agosta 90Bs by the 2040s and further expand the fleet). Collaborating on the MILDEN would be a good idea. Also, it's no problem if Turkiye takes its time with the AC program, even as a distant long-term program. My point was, Pakistan (like Turkiye) should aspire to get that capability, even if it's only viable after 2030 or 2040.I believe that Türkiye herself is not going to treat the second AC as an urgent matter.

Besides, there's still a lot to learn and unpack with TCG Anadolu and I'm convinced that experience and knowledge gained from Anadolu will eventually be applied to a possible second and much larger carrier.
Personally, the MILDEN project is much more exiting and relevant for the future in my opinion. If Pakistan wants to join any Turkish military project, here's her chance to get on board to avoid a second TFX scenario.
Why? Türkiye already has some significant knowhow and technology at her disposal which will assist in reducing the financial burden. On top of that Pakistan is modernising her navy. Why not join forces with the Turks?
I don't believe we have enough capable ships to protect a second AC.

No TF-2000 and no Turkish type FAC this year,
That's the most important thing. Without TF-2000, CV will be defenseless.
We could replace our whole FAC fleet for the price of a single carrier. Another political decision that is very damaging to our overall security.
