What are the chances of Korkut eventually spawning an indigenous Gatling-style CIWS to replace the Phalanx?

cant we use both of them in the same time ?With in the Turkish navy certainly. Phalanx use a lot of ammuniton to hit the target, i mean 1 using 1 min 3000 rounds. You will get the same effect when you use airburst round, usa navy is using Ram as final stage defend. So is the ciws or phalanx out? I think yes.
Phalanx will not typically be fired for a minute at the time. Rather the gatling gun fires 20mm ammunition at either 3,000 or 4,500 rounds-per-minute with a burst length of 60, or 100 rounds. 60 rounds is 1.2 seconds at 3k rpm and 0.8 seconds at 4.5k rpm., 2 seconds and 1.3 seconds for 100 rounds.With in the Turkish navy certainly.

The Oerlikon Contraves Sea Zenith quad 25mm KBA on the Turkish Meko 200 ships does 3200 rpm.
Who is no longer supporting what?They are planning to change that because they are not supporting in parts anymore. What i read is the Turkish navy is interested in phalanx, if Korkut would be ready they wil use korkut.
What would be your choice airburst round Korkut or Phalanx?
I think, he means that Germany no more supplying spare parts for Sea Zenith.....however i have never heard such a thing.Who is no longer supporting what?

Oerlikon-Contraves was a Swiss company. In 1999, Oerlikon-Contraves was sold by the Oerlikon Bührle Holding to the German Rheinmetall DeTec companyI think, he means that Germany no more supplying spare parts for Sea Zenith.....however i have never heard such a thing.
That is silly.Turkish Meko are the only user of sea zenith, no spare parts.
The 1,000 rounds per minute 35mm Millenium gun would make an interesting replacement, putting a lot of fire power onto these ships.
