TRNC Calls for a Joint Naval Base with Turkiye
TRNC’s Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Erhan Arıklı, has stated that it is time to set up a naval base with Turkiye. In a speech during the 50th anniversary of Cyprus Peace Operation, Arıklı reminded that the Greek Cyprus abandoned the talks in 2017 and is investing in armament despite the claiming to wish the talks to resume. Pointing out the recent move by Greek Cyprus to set up a naval base in cooperation with Greece, the U.S., and the EU, Arıklı stated that a new naval base should be set up with Turkiye as an answer.

The Turkish Armed Forces might also deploy its newer equipment, like the AKINCI UCAV, after deploying Bayraktar TB2 armed UAVs. Two AKINCI UCAVs landed on TRNC for a ceremonial flight with four F-16 fighters. While Greece and the EU have long-standing supporters of Greek Cyprus, the U.S. has decided to be more actively involved with lifting defence restrictions in 2023. Israel also provides air defence systems to Greek Cyprus, such as BARAK MX medium-to-long-range air defence systems.

There has been an agreement for the Greek Cyprus’ future naval base in Laranka to house Hellenic Navy warships. A helicopter base is also being built in the same region, likely to support the naval base.

ASELSAN’s IFF Mod 5 Passes Temporary Acceptance Tests
The Turkish Navy will identify vessels on the sea with the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mod 5 Systems as ASELSAN’s systems pass temporary acceptance tests. Within the scope of the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mod 5 Procurement and Reverse IFF Development Projects, signed between the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB) and ASELSAN, temporary acceptance activities have been completed for the integration of IFF Mod 5 Long Range Interrogator (LRI) Systems with the Maritime Surveillance Patrol Command Posts and the İzmir and Karadeniz Ereğli Surveillance Coordination Centres (GKM).

During these temporary acceptance activities, tests were conducted using the C72 maritime multi-purpose aircraft and the KILIÇ-2 Class Fast Attack Craft TCG İMBAT (P-337) as counter-test stations. Query/response and target tracking tests were carried out using NATO cryptography.

Turkish Submarine MİLDEN's Construction to Start in 2025
Chief of the Turkish Navy Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu has stated that the construction of MİLDEN national submarines will begin in 2025.

An important step in localising the Turkish Navy's capabilities was declared during the opening of the Aksaz Shipyard Command. Following Reis-class submarines based on Germany's Type-214 submarines with AIP propulsion and indigenously developed combat systems, MİLDEN will be the point of self-sufficiency in the submarine field.

Submarine-Launched ATMACA Missile Breaks Cover
A submarine-launched version of the ATMACA cruise missile was spotted during the delivery ceremony of the TCG PiriReis (S-330) AIP submarine.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stated that Reis-class’s next two submarines will enter service in 2025 and 2026, with all six submarines set to enter service in 2029. The delivery ceremony of TCG PiriReis has unveiled another new asset of the Turkish Navy.

The missile’s underwater launch capsule was spotted alongside the AKYA heavy-weight torpedo and the ATMACA missile in Anadolu Agency News’ live stream. In the picture above, the munition behind ATMACA and AKYA is a torpedo-like munition with no propeller. It bears a heavy resemblance to the UGM-84 Sub-Harpoon’s capsule.

A Review of Turkiye’s Future Submarine-Based Missiles

A Review of Turkiye’s Future Submarine-Based Missiles
Following the AKYA heavyweight torpedo, Turkiye has embarked on developing various submarine-launched missiles for different tasks. The development of three missiles is ongoing for launch from submarine torpedo tubes to give the submarines ASuW, land attack, and self-air defence capabilities.

The first known development is the GEZGİN missile. While there have been no official statements, GEZGİN is anticipated to have a longer range than current cruise missiles like SOM and ATMACA due to its mission profile.

The missile will be an important asset to the Turkish Navy, onboard submarines and future warships like TF2000 destroyers. With the stealthiness of a submarine, the missile will allow the Turkish Navy to conduct surprise attacks on high-value targets from the coastline to the mainland with submarines.

Die Türkei scheint sich systematisch strategische Kompetenzen im Bereich der Marine aufzubauen und dabei auch sehr hohe Ziele anzusetzen. Sowohl die Gewichtsklasse des neuen U-Boots als auch die Fähigkeit selbst entwickelte Cruise-Missiles mit zuführen ist technologisch in Gänze und den vielen Details ein sehr komplexes Programm.

Die Türkei scheint sich systematisch strategische Kompetenzen im Bereich der Marine aufzubauen und dabei auch sehr hohe Ziele anzusetzen. Sowohl die Gewichtsklasse des neuen U-Boots als auch die Fähigkeit selbst entwickelte Cruise-Missiles mit zuführen ist technologisch in Gänze und den vielen Details ein sehr komplexes Programm.

Vorerst werden bis vorraussichtlich 2029 die U-Boote der Reis Klasse eingeführt, bis zu sechs U-Boote insgesamt. Die Bewaffnung wird aus den schweren Torpedos des Typs Akya, Sub - Atmaca und/oder dem SLCM Gezgin bestehen. Mangels VLS wird die Reis Klasse maximal zwei SLCM des Typs Gezgin mitführen können.

Die U-Boote die im Rahmen des MILDEN Programm entwickelt werden, sollen erst in den 2030er in Dienst gestellt werden.
