How many support ships and subs needs a Carrier? What about maintain, spareparts, training, weapons, personal costs...?
Aircraft Carrier is for 2030s and in 2030s Turkiye will have more bigger Economy
Turkiye will produce 4 ISTIF class Frigates , 7 TF-2000 class Destroyers , 6 Type-214 class Submarines and Super Tanker ...... also MILDEN class AIP Submarines for 2030s
even We can develop jet engine powered stealth UCAV to be used on Aircraft Carrier in 2030s
so Turkish AC Group Force would be game changer now in Libya but unfortunately Turkish Navy lacks AC Group Force
-- 1 Aircraft Carrier with 40 Fighter Jets
-- 2 TF-2000 class Destroyers
-- 1 ISTIF class Frigate
-- 1 Type-214 class Submarine
-- 1 Super Tanker
I remind you that Turkiye planed to buy 100 F-35A for $10 billion .... also 32 F-35B for Navy
and $35 billion operating cost for the lifespan of 100 F-35s .... total of $45 billion
if Turks want to protect their national interests in the Eastern Mediterranean , Libya , Qatar , Somalia , etc then Turkish Navy needs Aircraft Carrier group Force
and Turkiye can funding AC Group Force in 2030s as economically and technologically
only between 2012 and 2019 Turkiye spent over $60 billion for humanitarian aid to muslim countries
for $60 billion , Turkiye could fund buying/operating cost for even 2 Aircraft Carrier Group Forces for 30 years
what a big fiasco ... to spend $40 billion for 3,5 millions of Syrian Refugees in Turkiye
Turkiye saved Europe from millions of Syrian Refugees , still treacherous Germany and The EU are preparing for sanctions on Turkiye
also ERDOGAN should reduce interest rates to save our money from blood sucker international interest lobby
ERDOGAN lowered interest rates from 24% to 4,9% between 2003 and 2013 ..
so Erdogan saved our 700 billion TL ( $330 billion ) from blood sucker international interest lobby between 2003 and 2013
therefore AK Party Governments could modernize whole Turkiye including military
