For now, Turkiye hasn't an equivalent of French DCNS to export this kind of ship.
We are new on military ships, the only success is Yonca Onuk and Daersan (MRTP series and YTKB) for export markets.
I hope RMK could be a DCNS or a Fincantieri in the future.
If I am not wrong, it's not just the LHD because the LHD tender is a "package" of :
(Here, it is said LPD but requested specs show an LHD ;))
1 LPD and 4 (four) Landing Craft Mechanics (LCM), 27 (twenty seven) Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAV), 2 (two) Landing Craft Personnel Vehicles (LCVP)...
Don't forget, it is a spy satellite controlled by TurAF, that's why I don't think that is the real resolution of camera.
These pics are just here to say "No problem guys, everything is on the right track".
According to Arda Mevlutoglu (aka orko_8 on web), a brochure distributed by LM (Lockheed Martin) during the maritime seminar in Turkey (I don't know the year), the coverage of 4 TF-2000 :) :
I consider public relation side of TSK is very weak, are there any Facebook page ? Youtube channel ? Twitter account ?
Our forces have to be connected with youth through Internet.
More bro, more :)

Bro, we bought these Mi-17 a long time ago (1995-1996) and don't forget, SSM is negociating with Sikorsky for more black hawks (100+ for us and more for export market).
I think Mi-17 in our inventory is an accident during 90's :)
As you said Mi-17 and Chinook aren't comparable.
Could we imagine after this modernization process that Aselsan could modernize a lot of MI-17 around the world ?
What are the details of Mi-17 modernization ? (only avionic ?)
