The first phase of the MİLGEM project ends

[SoftKill]

As it is known, Turkey was aiming to produce domestic warships at a maximum with the National-Ship (MILGEM) project. The first phase of the project, which will take place in three separate phases, included 4 “Ada Class corvettes“, the second phase, 4 ”ISTIF Class frigates“ and the third phase, 7 “TF-2000 Class Destroyers”. Under the MILGEM project, the first ship TCG HEYBELIADA Corvette (F-511) 2011, the second ship TCG BUYUKADA Corvette (F-512) 2013, and the third ship TCG BURGAZADA Corvette (F-513) were delivered to the Navy Command in 2018. The fourth ship, the TCG KINALIADA Corvette (F-514), is due to be delivered to the force in September 2019. TCG KINALIADA Corvette, which is currently under production, but is being tested on some new systems such as the ADVENT Combat Management System, will be the most advanced and last vessel of the MİLGEM ADA Class Corvette project. The first phase of the MİLGEM project will be completed with KINALIADA Corvette.

Istanbul Shipyard Command, which is currently engaged in the production of warships within the scope of the MİLGEM project, continues the production of the first ship of the second phase of the project, namely TCG ISTANBUL (F-515), the first ISTIF Class Frigate. However shipyard production ADA Class Corvettes will continue because Pakistan’s tender for the four units in July 2018 as Turkey, MİLGEM Island won the Class Corvettes. The production of 2 units of the 4 Corvet type warships to be produced in this context will be carried out at the Istanbul Shipyard Command and the production of the remaining 2 ships will be carried out at Karachi Shipyard of Pakistan with technical support provided by Turkey. Corvettes built for Pakistan will have different weapons systems than Corvettes produced for the Turkish Navy. Therefore, the design activities are continuing.

The first ship of the hoard-class frigate project, covering the second phase of the MILGEM project, is expected to be delivered to the Turkish Navy Command in 2021 and the last one in 2024. However, one-year divergence can occur in the project. The first ship of the TF-2000-class air defence destroyers, the final phase of the MILGEM project for the time being, is scheduled to be delivered to the force in 2027.

Does that mean the ships which Pakistan have ordered will be from 2nd phase. Which could be mean Pakistan is buying Istanbul Class Frigate ???

I think you havent read it properly. I clearly mentions that PN is buying phase 1 ones. But our Naval chief stated that 4th ships will be diffrent and it will be called Jinnah Class Frigate maybe 4th ship will be Phase 2 one.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) check this corvette design, it carries 4x4 missile launchers with a 16x vls . Wouldn''t this be a better solution than ADA ?

I hope those VLS can also carry long range cruise missiles

This is not a Corvette, it's the i-class Frigate.

[QUOTE = "CAN_TR, post: 11603408, üye: 188622"] Bu bir Corvette değil, i-sınıfı Fırkateyn. [/ QUOTE]

Evet, bu İ (İSTİF) Class Frigate. Not ADA Class Corvette. ADA Class Corvette has 4x2 Anti-Ship Missile, 21x RAM, 2x324mm Torpedo and 76mm OtoMelera.

I doubt it, check its 4x4 missiles launchers .. VLS would be only for Surface to Air Missiles

This is not a Corvette, it's the i-class Frigate.

I thought I-class frigate is much larger ? but thanks for the correction

Does anyone have more in depth knowledge about the TF-2000? Like what's the current status of the project - is it under design or are they waiting for the radar and other tech to catch up before they design the ship.

Also, related, whats the status of ÇAFRAD atm? I remember tests being done a month ago - what's come out of this?

Design activities continue. Probably the construction of the first ship begins as early as 2023/2024 and is delivered to the force in 2027.

Not only that but the weapons fit for the pak Corvettes will be different so might need slight redesigning. Let us see what that brings to the fore.

Yes, some systems of Pakistan Corvette will be different. I heard that at first. Do you have any information about which systems to use? Or any resource

 

[Shabi1]

Any information on armament. PN will likely have it tailored to use Harbah missile for anti ship role, but what about anti air armament, will it be dependent on US suppliers?

The PN has so far been very lax about covering their ships with anti air cover thinking they will work in a coherent manner as a group rather than individual ships. So we need to see what air defence will go on these corvettes.
