do you even know what special operation missions are?

they do sabotage and infiltration missions like that, without beeing detectet. And if they are detected, they better die and don´t come back alive as captives.

Russian special OPS visited the "guarded" ROFLMAO ship at night and disabled the Russian software which was running all systems. The ship is useless now for everyone.

This is a moot point anyway.
Nobody is going to buy the Mistral with Russian software simply because if anything goes wrong it won't be easy to fix. That's too much of a liability.

That's one of the reasons the Russians put their own software on it. If France refused to do upgrades (likely in a hostile future) they'd be screwed.

this ship stationed in the persian gulf/qatar will be easy meat for iranian missile boats.

you should avoide to station that ship in qatar, until saudi and iran ceased their hostilities.

instead you should station this ship in the western med, as deterence against european naval powers.

why would Turkey need an deterrerence against european powers? isn't Turkey part of Nato and wants to join the EU

I assume the Mistral can't be sold with any of the Russian equipment so it will all have to be replaced with the French originals including the original software.

For instance I'm sure the ccontrol rooms had custom Russian hardware with obviously custom Russian software. So it will all have to be ripped out and replaced with the French one's.

I hope turkish brothers will conduct joint naval exercise with Pakistan with their LHD in the near future seeing they'll be the first Muslim country to possess F35 and a light aircraft carrier

@Neptune just reported that next year Turkish pilots will be attending a training in US for F-35, there are also Naval pilots among the attendants which is like a unofficial confirmation that Turkey is gonna get F-35B.

There were hints about it at IDEF last week.



Turkish LHD

The Contract For LPD Construction Has Been Signed

The contract signing ceremony for the LPD was the highlight of the IDEF 2015 was from the maritime point of view the.

On 7 May 2015 the contract for the production of one landing platform dock, was signed between Under-secretariat for Defence Industries and Sedef Shipyard.

The design is based on Spanish shipyard Navantia’s Juan Carlos 1 LPD and will be very similar to the Spanish and Australian ships. According to Under-secretariat for Defence Industries press release the ship is scheduled to be commissioned in 2021. The ship will be able to operate 60 days on sea, without replenishment.

The preliminary specifications of the Turkish LPD shows that the ship will not much different from her Spanish and Australian versions:

The exact plane and helicopter load is not published but Juan Carlos design has capacity for 11 medium class helicopters and up to 7 Harrier type planes. Nobody is talking it openly yet, but it is highly possible that the S/VTOL version of F-35 may be acquired in the future to be used on this ship. Turkey is a member of the F-35 alliance and wants to buy at least 100 planes of the land based version.

For self-defence, the ship will have at least two MK-15 Phalanx CIWS and 3 or 4 remote-controlled weapon platforms such as Aselsan’s STAMP or STOP.

ECM and ESM systems, IR signature measurement systems, electro-optic sensors, torpedo defence systems will be among many subsystems provided by Turkish companies. The combat management system will be also indigenous and will be based on GENESİS CMS.

With the signing of the contract for the LPD, Turkey Navy has entered to the Dreadnought Owners Club of the 21. Century. The large amphibious ships with docking and flight capability are the new Dreadnoughts of our era.

Large amphibious ships are the only real multi-purpose ships of any navy can posses and are the naval equivalent of Swiss army knives.

The potential uses for a large amphibious ships can be:
• force projection (the most obvious use)
• evacuation of combatants and non-combatants
• command ship for task force
• logistical supply platform during a humanitarian crisis or disaster
• mother-ship for small boat operations and helicopters
• mine warfare (as all large amphibious ships of Turkish Navy have mine laying capability)

In 2006 , The Commander of Turkish Naval Forces Admiral Yener Karahanoğlu, laid down the long terms amphibious ship acquisition goals for Turkish Navy:

• One LPD
• Two LST’s
• 8 fast LCT’s
• 27 AAV/AAAV’s

The first project to start according to this road map was procurement of 8 LCT’s. This project officially started in 2009 with the signing of the contract and ended in 2014 with the commissioning of 8 LCT’s into Turkish Navy.

The procurement of the LST’s was the second project. For the LST’s UDI submitted a Request for Proposal. on May 2008. On 6 January 2010 ADİK shipyard was declared as the winner of the bid. A contract for the construction of two new LST’s was signed between Ministry of Defence and ADİK in 2011. The first ship was to be delivered in 48 months after the signing of the contract.

The tender process for LPD has started in 2011 when UDI submitted the RfP. In May 2011, three Turkish shipyards, Deasan, RMK Marine and Sedef submitted their bids for RfP to design and build a LPD type ship. RMK Marine submitted its own design, Sedef teamed with Navantia and submitted a redesigned Juan Carlos 1. The most secretive bid was Deasan’s. The shipyard teamed with China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation which builds the Type 071 amphibious ships for PLA(N).

On 27 December 2013 the Defence Industry Executive Committee decided to start contract negotiation with the Sedef Ship Building Company, which was signed on 7 May 2015.

When commissioned she will be the capital ship of Turkish Navy.
