[CAN_TR]

This information received from program engineer. He said The subsystems introduced on this mock-up is changed. Phalanx system will be replaced with Gokdeniz CIWS and 127mm main gun will be converted with 155mm. We will see the results in follwing period.

Has Turkey a 155mm Naval Gun/Artillery project?

As far as i know only BAE Systems produces this Caliber and only the Zumwalt-class operates it..

The rear facing UMR antenna’s sight has been obscured so, the rear facing radar antenna complex should be placed higher. It would be more better placed close towards the sides meanwhile.

TF-2000 AAW Destroyer except Engine almost everything will be indigenous


( only the US , Russia , China , France and Turkey will have their own Destroyer with own design , AESA radar , combat management system , E/O Systems , electronic warfare system , VLS , SAMs , Anti ship missile , cruise missile , torpedo , CIWS , Towed Active Sonar , Torpedo Counter Measure System , etc )

Japan , S.Korea , Spain , Australia uses American AEGIS combat management system , Radar , VLS and Weapons
India uses Israeli Radar and SAM

Design and Platform are not problem for Turkish Naval Industry
We are waiting for indigenous systems for TF-2000 , therefore the first TF-2000 Destroyer will be in service by 2027

BMC said they will develop 5000hp engines for naval vessels and since first TF-2000 destroyer will be in service in 2027. I think we can see some development for engines also. They are currently focused on 1500hp altay tank engine but who knows maybe they are started to developing.

CODOG : 2x diesel engines + 2x gas turbine engines

so BMC can develop diesel engine its ok ....... but not only Turkey , also the UK,France,Germany,Italy,Israel,India,Japan,S.Korea,Spain,Australia and many more countries uses American GE LM-2500 gas turbine engine for their own naval projects Corvette,Frigate,Destroyer,LHD,Aircraft Carrier

In line with the information we received, the ÇAFRAD System which will remain on the TF-2000 Anti-Air Warfare Destroyers will be in the similar structure with the configuration over the scaled models that are stated to have a 90% similarity with the final configuration. On the other hand, activities to assess the utilization of a scaled version of ÇAFRAD on I Class Frigates such as the EL/M-2248 MF-STAR AESA radar utilized on Israel’s SAAR-5 and SAAR-6 corvettes continue.
