What's new

Turkish Naval Forces (DZKK)

I haven't seen these UVEX goggles in use other than navy,even commando brigades adopted more sturdy ones.

They could use some proper BDU's too.

(EDIT)Coast guard uses them too.

Yeah. Most likely the marines will switch to BDU cut uniforms I believe. Like the ones used by Navy SAR.

All of the spesific units of the navy like EOD teams (SAS) and divers are switched to BDU uniform with the TSK camo. Also the Navy SF (SAT) uses the same cut with MultiCam from. They are producing by the same supply center of the Army. But the Marines are still using old gen 4 chest pocket one with the classic collar design. They are going to pass this new one I think. Because of the quality of fabric, stitch and material used to make It much more costly than the old style uniforms...

Also alongside the Navy, Army SF (Maroon Berets), Air Forces CSAR troops are also the using the locally made BDU cut unforms. Gendarmerie Special Public Security Command and Special Reaction Force of the Gendarmerie SF also using the black ones too...

It was no offence to you. You know Arda M. (Orko). He is a skilled Turkish Military Analyst and scienstist ,
sometimes he can also be criticised cause of his contrary opinions :)

I think everyone on this forum knows Orko_8 and his wealth of knowledge, he's one of those people though, like @Cabatli53 . Quality over Quantity, you know :)

There are a lot of talented guys. It should not sound PR but rewreward, bosfor, the shamane and many other Some are from science, some from the field. It depends on what's the measure scale to create an opinion about the individuals.

That I know for sure :)


There is also a hint for you in this message:

''I think everyone on this forum knows Orko_8 and his wealth of knowledge, he's one of those people though, like @Cabatli53 . Quality over Quantity, you know :)''.

I firmly believe everyone on this forum would appreciate a lot if you won't ignore this kind hint.

I already answered to it. In a forum you have to regard the level, interests and direction of all members. I never ignore hints, but there should be no hidden offence. A forum is public place to share information and make also PR, to win people and sympathy our country Türkiye. I follow also the blogs of our experts and they are realy good. Respect to all them who invest their value time

PM's floating fighter jet plan quietly sunk by Defence


Jul 7 2015 by John Kerin

Prime Minister Tony Abbott's proposal to put F-35 fighter jets on the Navy's two 27,000-tonne troop transport assault ships has been quietly dropped ahead of the government's defence white paper after it was found the ships would require extensive reworking and the project was too costly.

Mr Abbott asked defence planners in May last year to examine the possibility of putting up to 12 of the short-take-off and vertical-landing F-35 Bs on to the two ships – the largest in the Navy – which carry helicopters and are likely to be primarily used to transport troops and equipment to war or disaster zones.

The first of the assault ships was completed last year and commissioned into the Navy in November as HMAS Canberra.

But defence officials conceded to a Senate estimates committee late last year that the jump-jet proposal would involve extensive modifications to the ships, including new radar systems, instrument landing systems, heat-resistant decking, restructuring of fuel storage and fuel lines, and storage hangars.

Defence sources have told The Australian Financial Review that the proposal was "still in the white paper mix" up until some weeks ago.

But one source close to the white paper was emphatic on Tuesday that "it will now not make the cut".

"There were just too many technical difficulties involved in modifying a ship which takes helicopters to take fighter jets and it is also very expensive," the source said. "You can safely say it has been dropped."

'BETTER WAYS TO SPEND THE MONEY'

The white paper, which lays down the Abbott government's 20-year vision for defence – including a $275 billion-plus weapons wishlist – is expected to be released next month.

The Prime Minister's proposal would have brought Australia into line with the United States, Britain and a number of other nations that plan to operate F-35s from their assault ships.

The F-35B version of the joint strike fighter is being built for the US Marines and British forces to replace their British-built Harrier jump jets.

The Spanish Navy's version of the troop transport assault ship, which utilises the same underlying design as the Royal Australian Navy's troop assault ship, is equipped to carry Harrier jump jets.

Mr Abbott announced in April last year that Australia would buy an additional 58 conventional take-off and landing versions for the Royal Australian Air Force at a cost of $12 .4 billion, bringing the number of orders to 72.

But the RAAF version was not suitable for the troop transport assault ships, which would have required the purchase of extra fighters to equip the ships. And the radar-evading stealth fighter program has been plagued by delays and cost overruns, as well as software issues with the F-35B – the worst-afflicted version of the aircraft.

In an independent report on the jump jet proposal, defence think tank the Australian Strategic Policy Institute warned that the purchase of aircraft and ship modifications would involve "multibillions of dollars".

Analysts Richard Brabin-Smith and Dr Benjamin Schreer also warned in the report that the cost was unjustified and could also "raise unrealistic expectations" that Australia was adopting a "much more muscular strategic posture" in the region.

"The cost-benefit analysis is not in favour of developing [the assault ship-jump jet proposal]," the paper said.

"The scenarios in which the capability would be realistically required and make an important impact are operationally vague at best.

"The 2015 defence white paper should not announce a decision or intention to acquire jump jets for the ADF… there are likely better ways to spend the money."
