We will take a significant step towards the construction of nuclear-powered Submarines, which are necessary for our long-term Submarine deterrence capability and our vision of becoming a medium-sized power with global influence.

The problem is the engine, MTU in Germany and Japan are the ones ones on the planet that make Submarine engines that would be compatible with a Western design Submarine. I hope Germans don't block.

China and Russia make engines, but there is a whole lot of political issues there.

what exactly is the TF2000 F2?

 

[MMM-E]

No-Fly Zone Scenario (4 TF-2000s in the Eastern Mediterranean)


GROK says

Objective : To prevent F-35s from approaching Turkish airspace —
yes, it would be a deterrent. Each Destroyer would create an air defense bubble with a diameter of ~200–300 km (with trench range), and 4 Destroyers would cover critical areas of the Eastern Mediterranean (e.g., around Cyprus, energy fields).

This would create a de facto "no-fly zone" effect: Approaching Aircraft would be threatened from long range, and even stand-off weapons would be stopped by layered defense

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The TF-2000 will be a very powerful air defense Destroyer However, For this, an integrated operation of AWACS, a long-range VHF/UHF radar network on Land, and platforms like the TF-2000 at sea is necessary


450 km CAFRAD AESA Radar
96 cells VLS ..... ( mix of 80 HISAR-D RF and SIPER-2 SAMs )
20 x GOKSUR-100N point defense missiles
1 x GOKDENIZ 35 mm CIWS

 

[MMM-E]

GROK says

8 ISTIF Frigates can create overlapping defense layers around Cyprus (~200–300 km diameter balloons) → making it difficult for F-35s to approach easily

Integration of Siper Blok-1 (successful in tests) → Provides engagement opportunities with a range of 100+ km


Conclusion: 8 ISTIF-class Frigates create a strong air defense shield around Cyprus and can deter F-35s (or similar threats) before they get close.

This leaves no "easy operation" space for Greek/Israeli F-35s.

You barely have 2 ISTIF class right now. If the IDF decides to strike your bases in the East Med tomorrow,what will you send?

We are surrounded by a ring of fire, and yet We export the platforms that are being built for the Turkish Navy

Is Indonesia receiving a threat of war ?
Türkiye will have to contend with a multinational force in the Aegean and in the Eastern Mediterranean

 

[Foinikas]

We are surrounded by a ring of fire, and yet We export the platforms that are being built for the Turkish Navy

Poor victims! Surrounded by ring of fire!

-Syria is pro-Turkish
-Iraq is neutral
-Iran has no air force,no modern ground forces and is currently in political turmoil
-Lebanon insignificant
-Libya is pro-Turkish and Haftar is neutral now
-Armenia was always small and weak,now it's gone
-Russia and Ukraine at war
-Georgia is friendly to Turkey
-Azerbaijan is your ally

What is the ring of fire?

-Egypt which is staying out of any conflicts for now?
-Greece is lost 10-15 years in defence modernization?
-Cyprus with a population of 1 million?
-Lebanon?
-Bulgaria?

Or is all this theatrical drama because of Israel,which according to you is too small and pathetic?

in 2020 , Turkiye almost entered a conflict with Greece-France over the Eastern Mediterranean ....... and now Israel-India joins the anti-Turkiye axis


Türkiye should never enter into any war, but Turkiye should be prepared as if it could enter a war at any moment


---------------------------------------------------------

1 -- The Russian threat is sending shivers down all of Europe.
and Russia will return to the field ( Libya , Syria , Azerbaijan ) soon when peace is restored in Ukraine

2 -- Israeli “Turkophobia”: How Turkiye became the next Enemy after Iran​

3 -- Defence Minister of Greece calls Turkiye 'Enemy'

4 -- There are a defense agreement between Greece and France against Turkiye
France was a major rival to Turkiye in Syria , Libya and in the Eastern Mediterranean since 2013

5 -- India has begun cooperating with Armenia, Greece, and Israel against Türkiye
For the first time in history, the Hellenic and Indian Navies conducted exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean


6 -- SISI and HAFTAR are never actors we can trust.
The UAE is another one ( with anti-Turkiye actions )


Located in one of the world's most troubled regions, Türkiye must always possess a strong and deterrent military power against many countries that show a hostile attitude towards Turkiye

 

[Foinikas]

1 -- The Russian threat is sending shivers down all of Europe.
and Russia will return to the field ( Libya , Syria , Azerbaijan ) soon when peace is restored in Ukraine

Stop acting like you're victim!

Russia's side in Libya is no longer at war with the Turkish-backed side. Russia's side in Syria was defeated and there seems to be peace with Azerbaijan now.

2 -- Israeli “Turkophobia”: How Turkiye became the next Enemy after Iran

Yeah it's not "Turcophobia" when your PM goes around saying "Eeey Natanyahu...we might come one night,suddenly". Or when your side gets power in Syria.

3 -- Defence Minister of Greece calls Turkiye 'Enemy'

And what do you call us? Your best friend? Even you personally,half your posts always have some comment or comparison against Greece.

4 -- There are a defense agreement between Greece and France against Turkiye
France was a major rival to Turkiye in Syria , Libya and in the Eastern Mediterranean since 2013

That's a ring of fire? You were the one busting our balls for 4 years saying "Pathetic Greece and France cannot do anything with 16xSAM frigates" etc etc

5 -- India has begun cooperating with Armenia, Greece, and Israel against Türkiye
For the first time in history, the Hellenic and Indian Navies conducted exercises in the Eastern Mediterranean

We're not cooperating with India and they're hardly cooperating with Armenia. They're just trying to sell any weapons they can. If you think you have problems from from India,you're mistaken. Unless you think they'll send their fleet to the Mediterranean to fight you and leave their country open to Pakistani attacks.

Located in one of the world's most troubled regions, Türkiye must always possess a strong and deterrent military power against many countries that show a hostile attitude towards Turkiye

If Turkey was not acting like a bully who tramples international law and treaties or got involved in other wars,you wouldn't have had so many countries hostile towards you.
