TCG Anadolu can carry some 10-12 F35Bs That's not a meaningul force in my opinion. We couldn't tip the balance in any war with that. It would be far better to buy some SM2s and SM3s to protect our fleet.
It would be even better to buy 2 smaller LPDs or 4 LSTs. We could really dominate Greece with that
You pay 5-6 billion dollars for TCG Anadolu and 1 torpedo and it's dead.
TCG Anadolu can carry 19 F35B in Aircraft Carrier mode ,,,, Italian CAVOUR class Aircraft Carrier can carry 20 F35B
Turkish Navy needs strike capability to protect maritime rights and interests , Sea control and power projection and to support military bases in Qatar , Somali , Sudan
and Turkish Navy will have strike capability with TCG ANADOLU with 19 F35B ,, TF-2000 class Destroyers and Type214 class Submarines armed with GEZGIN Cruise Missiles
also TCG ANADOLU will be used for Humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and Search and Rescue operations
The new weapon Systems will be nightmare for Greece ( S400 and HISAR Air Defense Systems , F35A Fighter Jets armed with SOM-J Cruise Missiles , TF2000 class Destroyers and Type 214TN class Submarines armed with ATMACA and GEZGIN Missiles , BORA Ballistic Missile , etc
Turkey doesnt need ground invasion of Greece
and we pay max 1,5 billion for TCG Anadolu and $2 billion for 19 F35B Fighter Jets ...... total of $3,5 billion
and Aselsan HIZIR Torpedo Countermeasure System will protect TCG ANADO from Torpedo attacks
The US never give SM-3 to Turkey
and Turkey joined to EUROSAM to develop Long range air defense missile which can be integrated with the TF-2000 class Destroyers
