MARLIN AUSV to Be Delivered to Turkish Navy


MARLIN AUSV to Be Delivered to Turkish Navy
MARLIN AUSV, jointly developed by ASELSAN and SEFİNE, will be delivered to the Turkish Navy in the following months.
SEFİNE Naval Projects Senior Technical Purchasing Engineer Burak Kolsuz, who spoke to Anadolu Agency during the Nusret-2023 Invitation Exercise, stated that MARLIN AUSV will be delivered to the Turkish Navy in the coming months.

Burak Kolsuz added that MARLIN can be configured in mine warfare and anti-air warfare configurations in addition to already revealed ASuW and ASW configurations.

MARLIN made its official debut on the field in electronic warfare configuration during a NATO exercise in 2022. This was followed by a test of TUBITAK SAGE’s KUZGUN-KY solid fuel rocket-powered surface-to-surface missile planned to be one of MARLIN’s main ASuW assets.

MIR AUSV, a related development from the same joint venture, also fired a lightweight torpedo from the launcher developed by ASELSAN.

Turkiye’s Indigenous Torpedo Akya is Operational
Turkiye’s first indigenous heavy-weight torpedo, Akya, is now operational after its test launch with a live warhead.
Turkish Defence Ministry announced last week that the fire tests would occur on December 26th. The tests were postponed for a day and took place on the 27th. The Ministry announced on social media that an Akya heavy-weight torpedo was launched from the TCG Preveze (S-353) submarine. The Ministry stated that Akya hit the target vessel (ex-TCG Gazal, ex-USS Sioux) and destroyed it. This statement and a photo with the “Akya harp” notice mark that the torpedo had a live warhead. “Harp” is a Turkish word for “war”.

Gewaltige Explosion: Hier versenkt neuer türkischer Super-Torpedo ein Schiff
Die türkische Marine veröffentlichte am Freitag Aufnahmen vom Test des neuen Schwergewichtstorpedos Akya. Der Probelauf mit Gefechtskopf war erfolgreich und das neue Geschoss kann von den Streitkräften eingesetzt werden.

Der vom türkischen Rüstungskonzern Roketsan entwickelte Akya wurde vom U-Boot TCG Preveze im östlichen Mittelmeer abgefeuert. Der Torpedo traf das Ziel präzise, so das Verteidigungsministerium in einer Erklärung. Aus einer Entfernung von etwa zwölf Kilometern schlug das Unterwassergeschoss in ein Boot ein, explodierte und versenkte es.

Turkish Government Green Lights Aircraft Carrier And 4 Additional I-Class Frigates

On January 3, 2024, a meeting of the Turkish Defense Industry Executive Committee took place, with President Erdogan in attendance. During the session, the committee made significant decisions, which included initiating the design phase of an aircraft carrier and the construction of an additional 4 I-class frigates. [...]

Decisions were reached concerning the initiation of the design phase for an Aircraft Carrier as part of military ship projects. Additionally, plans were approved for the construction of the MİLGEM 9-10-11-12th ships (I-class frigates), offshore patrol vessels, new types of landing ships, new generation minehunters, and Turkish Type FACs. [...] Highlighting a record-breaking figure of $5.5 billion, marking a 27% increase compared to the previous year, and an average export value surpassing $65 per kilogram, the defense industry demonstrated a significant contribution to the Turkish economy and indirectly to social welfare. Notably, the growing confidence in the country’s defense industry products is reflected in the rise of export destinations from 176 countries in the previous year to more than 185 in the current year.

Die zusätzliche vier Fregatten der Istanbul Klasse sollen länger sein als die anderen Fregatten dieser Klasse und auch 2 x 32 Zellen VLS aufnehmen können. Sie werden vorraussichtlich vier Fregatten der Gabya Klasse ehem. O.H.Perry FFG ersetzen. Das Programm zum Bau von TF-2000 AAW Zerstörer ist auf das nächste Jahrzehnt verschoben worden. Die im Artikel erwähnte Entwicklung und den Bau eines Flugzeugträgers wird ein Projekt was wahrscheinlich bis zum Ende des nächsten Jahrzehnts realisiert wird. Die Beschaffung neuer FAC und Minnensuchschiffen ist auch beschlossen worden.


Denkbar ist das die vier weiteren I-Klasse Fregatten nach diesem Entwurf gebaut werden.

Weia... Das Imperium kehrt zurück? Was kommt als nächstes, ein Sternenkreuzer?
Der Carrier ist ja schon in Planung/Zulauf...
Wie will Erdogan das alles finanzieren, bei einer Inflation zwischen 30 und 80%? Selbst Russland bügelt die "Kutsnetsov" nur noch sporadisch und dort ist sie "Prestigeobjekt". Von Neubauten mal ganz zu schweigen...

Als aller erstes handelt es sich hier um Konzepstudien, was den Flugzeugträger und das Atom U-Boot anbelangt. Eine Realisierung wäre in frühestens 15 Jahren denkbar.

Als erstes laufen bei der türkischen Marine sechs U-Boote der Reis Klasse Typ U-214 zu. Gegen Ende des Jahrzents oder Anfang der 2030er wird MILDEN reif für die Serienproduktion sein. Erst danach in den 2040ern wird es so weit sein, dass Flugzeugträger und Atom U-Boote konkrete Formen annehmen.

On January 19, Turkey's first-in-class frigate TCG Istanbul entered into service with the country's Navy during a ceremony held at Sefine Shipyard in Yalova Province, northwest Turkey. The introduction of the vessel marks a significant moment for the country, given that it constitutes Turkey's first nationally-developed frigate. This also comes amid a relatively remarkable modernization effort based on locally sourced hardware that spans the services within Turkey's armed forces in recent years.

The Istanbul class is designed to perform a wide range of missions for the Turkish Navy, including everything from surveillance to anti-surface, anti-air, and anti-submarine warfare. What's most notable about TCG Istanbul in particular is its high percentage of indigenously built components, particularly in terms of its armament and electronic warfare and sensor suites. In all, some 220 Turkish companies participated in constructing the frigate, which included 80 subcontractors working on the delivery of more than 150 systems, Naval News reports.
