New Turkish aircraft carrier larger than TCG Anadolu for the “Blue Homeland”

A “national aircraft carrier” larger than TCG Anadolu is being planned, which will leave its mark on the “Blue Homeland”, Turkish media reports.

Local and national manned and unmanned aerial vehicles are planned to be deployed on the ship, which is in the design stage.

The Directorate of Naval Forces Command Planning Office (DPO), in accordance with the directive of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is planning a “national aircraft carrier” larger than TCG Anadolu.

The DPO, located in the Istanbul Ministry of National Defense (MSB) Shipyard Command, opened its doors to members of the press.

Shipyard Commander Vice-Admiral Erdnik Yetkin revealed that the entire project is in the planning phase at the shipyard and the Survey Office. The history of the Istanbul Shipyards Administration dates back to the reign of Muhammad the Conqueror in 1454.

It is recalled that the TCG Istanbul Frigate, which began sea trials on January 19, 2024, was built with 80 percent domestic production at the same shipyard.

The Turkish plan for the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean

The Turks have declared for a long time, that they only count the Greek and Egyptian Navy, that’s why they give everything to Aegean-An. Mediterranean.

The Turkish plan to control the entire Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean:

What we understand here is the fact that the Turks are now putting a huge weight on their Navy, (referring to all their ongoing programs), with the aim of dominating our wider region.

Ankara is already “running” the construction program of the TF-2000 area anti-aircraft defense frigate, with unknown funds.

While the budget was allocated for the detailed design of the ship by the Defense Industry Executive Committee (SSİK), it was decided to build the prototype ship at the Istanbul Shipyard Command.

The Turkish Navy will also install a Lazer weapon on warships, especially iSTIF and TF-2000 class Frigates, automatically signaling an alert in Athens.

The NAZAR laser electronic attack system, developed to destroy missiles, has been listed by the Turkish Naval Forces Command.

The Turkish Laser is able to neutralize missiles from long distances compared to the countermeasures systems currently in force (Phalanx CIWS).

The “neighbors” have long been planning naval bases on the coast of Asia Minor, with unmanned boats and mini-submarines opposite Greek islands, while nearby Dalaman and elsewhere swarms of unmanned aircraft of various capabilities, to “cover” the naval force them, hitting the Greek infrastructures without human cost in a possible crisis.

At the exact same time, mobile arrays of ballistic missiles in cooperation with long-range radars will be scanning the Aegean, and will be preparing to strike infrastructure in the Greek hinterland.
