^^^ isn't the price tag is little big 1.7 billion dollar for 1 LPD with its supplementary unit ?

I wonder where this 1.7 billion dollar price tag cames from ?

In the largest of the three deals, SSM selected a local shipyard to award the country’s first-ever contract for the acquisition of a Landing Platform Dock (LPD). Industry sources estimate the contract totals around $500 million.

DEFENSE UPDATE - Turkey awards over $1 billion defense contracts in one week

apparently the Turkish navy is getting a smaller version without a ski-jump ramp. http://turkishnavy.net/

I have received a copy of the press release made by Defense Industry Undersecretariat, after posting my blog about the Turkish LPD project.

I have created the below table with the information on the press release to make a comparison between the Spanish Juan Carlos, Australian Canberra and Turkish LPD, all based on the same Navantia design.

Canberra Juan Carlos Levent
Displacement (tons)27.50027.50019.000
Length (meters)230230200
Speed (knots)192120
Range (n. miles)9.0009.0007.000
Crew240295240
Please mind that the information about the Turkish LPD is estimations and may change during the course of the project.

The crew will be 190 sailors, 56 air crew, 50 medical staff, 200 command staff and up to 700 marines.

The LPD will be able to carry 13 MBT’s, 27 armored amphibious attack vessels, 6 armored personnel carriers and 33 truck in the garage bay.

The air component will consist of 4 at least 15 ton helicopters on the flight deck and 4 at least 15 ton helicopters or 3 UAV’s in the hangar.

They wont sell turkey f35b because when you look to the Engine Then you will See a technical marvel.
when I saw it for the first time, I could not believe my eyes.

Turkey gets every Day More an Independent defense industry and They are against there.


Maybe turkey can the Technik from the f35b Integrate in tfx.
Thats question they ask themselves before they sell.
