Is the Turkish Navy Considering Nuclear Submarines ?

Is the Turkish Navy Considering Nuclear Submarines? TurDef
By Özgür Ekşi

In the October 2024 issue (No. 656) of the Turkish Naval Forces Magazine (Deniz Kuvvetleri Dergisi), an article titled “The Impact of Nuclear-Powered Submarines on the Theatre of War” examined the historical and global applications of nuclear submarines. Of particular interest to Turkiye was the section on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) under the subheading “The Development of Nuclear Energy and Small Modular Reactors”.


The article highlighted the strategic advantage for nations developing SMR technology, noting that such advancements could position these countries as leaders in the energy market. Turkiye was mentioned as committed to R&D efforts in SMR development, particularly focusing on Molten Salt Reactors. While this commitment is noteworthy, it falls short of being a concrete indication of an interest in nuclear-powered submarines.

Challenges and Opportunities in Nuclear-Powered Submarine Acquisition
Acquiring nuclear-powered submarines presents both strategic benefits and significant challenges. Beyond the substantial financial cost of procurement and operation, transitioning from conventional systems to nuclear propulsion marks a crucial step toward becoming a global maritime power.

ALTAY Main Battle Tank Delivery Schedule Announced
https://turdef.com/article/altay-main-ba...-announced

dann setz ich das mal hier rein:
Türkei setzt auf eigene Panzer: Altay stößt zum Arsenal hinzu

Die Türkei hat die zweitgrößte Armee unter den NATO-Staaten. Der ehemalige Offizier der amerikanischen Spezialeinheiten und jetzige Militärexperte Steve Balestrieri wies darauf hin, dass die Türkei über 2.200 Panzer verfügt und zukünftig noch mehr besitzen könnte.

Derzeit hat die türkische Armee etwa 2.200 Panzer, darunter amerikanische M48, M60 Patton und M60 Sabra (von Israel modifiziert) sowie deutsche Leopard 1 und Leopard 2A4 in verschiedenen Varianten. In den kommenden Jahren werden Altay-Panzer, das Produkt der türkischen Rüstungsindustrie, zu dieser Flotte hinzukommen.

und dazu
Türkei rüstet auf - Heimischer Panzer Altay ab 2025 im Einsatz:

Nach einigen Jahren der Verzögerung gewinnt das Entwicklungsprogramm des türkischen Panzers Altay an Schwung. Die ersten Lieferungen an die türkische Armee, die sich bereits jetzt mit der größten Anzahl an Panzern unter den europäischen NATO-Mitgliedern rühmen kann, werden im dritten Quartal 2025 beginnen. Die Türkei plant, letztendlich sogar 1.000 Altay-Panzer zu produzieren.
...

Anfangs wird der Altay T1 produziert. Bei seiner Konstruktion hat sich die türkische Industrie entschieden, die Erfahrungen des südkoreanischen Konzerns Hyundai Rotem zu nutzen, um einige Probleme zu lösen. Daher wird der Altay T1 einige Lösungen aus den K2 Black Panther-Panzern übernehmen. Dazu gehören der DV27K-Motor und das EST15K-Getriebe. Die Hauptbewaffnung wird wiederum eine in der Türkei produzierte Variante der südkoreanischen Kanone CN08 mit einem Kaliber von 120 mm darstellen.
Aus den zuvor veröffentlichten Zeitplänen geht hervor, dass bis 2028 knapp 100 Stück Altay T1 produziert werden. Danach werden die Produktionsbänder Altay T2 (ungefähr 200 Exemplare) und später Altay T3 (von denen es die meisten geben soll) produzieren.
Insgesamt plant die Türkei, sogar 1.000 Altay-Panzer zu produzieren. Gleichzeitig hofft man, dass im Falle von Altay T2 und Altay T3 ausschließlich auf Komponenten aus türkischen Werken zurückgegriffen wird. Jede weitere Version des Panzers soll Verbesserungen bei den wichtigsten Komponenten enthalten.

Und ich bin zugleich gespannt, ob die älteren Leo, die ja wohl ausgemustert werden sollen, dann den Weg in die Ukraine finden ...

[Skywalker]

Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen das die Türkei noch mehr Panzer besitzen soll. Der Altay wird nach und nach die älteren Typen ersetzen. Den Kpz bestand 1 zu 1 zu ersetzen oder mehr den Kpz Bestand zu erhöhen, dafür müssen die Produktionskapazitäten erhöht werden. Zweiten sind moderne Kpz erheblich teuer geworden, weil immer mehr Technik eingebaut werden muss z.B active Protection oder Schutz gegen FPV Bedrohungen. Ohne Embargos hätte der Altay schon im Jahr 2018 in Serienproduktion gehen können: Seit der Offensive gegen die YPG im norden Syrien Anfang des Jahres 2018, hat Deutschland keine Ausfuhrgenehmigungen für MTU Triebwerke erteilt, dass war der Hauptgrund warum die Serienprodktion nicht früher begonnen hat.

Turkish Gendarmerie Forces Receive Three Akıncı B UCAVs TurDef
Turkish Gendarmerie announced that the acceptance of three Akıncı B UCAVs as one system was completed in Baykar’s training facility located in Tekirdağ, Çorlu.

This marks the first delivery of Akıncı UCAVs to the Turkish Gendarmerie, which is operating a fleet of Bayraktar TB2 in a considerable size. Like Bayraktar TB2, Akıncı B UCAVs delivered to the Gendarmerie are in armed configuration as seen from the hardpoints.

Compared to Bayraktar TB2, Akıncı B can carry multiple sensors, which are also more potent thanks to the payload capacity and onboard power generation. Thus, it can be said that the Turkish Gendarmerie has received a level-up in terms of ISR capabilities.

The Turkish Gendarmerie’s operations not only include law enforcement but also counter-terrorism in a closer fashion to the army, compared to the police. Akıncı B UCAVs, coupled with the fleet of T129 ATAK attack helicopters, will ensure a heavier firepower and ISR support required in high-intensity combat situations for said operations.
