Turkish Naval Programs

No I think you are getting confused between LHD and LPD

They are essentially the same thing - except LHDs are bigger than LPDs.

Are you a Turk from Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus? ... if so, why that flag of southern in profile?

No kktc flag available to use for country

Sanat eseri resmen !

Work of Art !

Indeed... Such a craftsmanship.

In fact, the guy produces these models is one of my classmates. Since his active duty times in the Navy, talented to make paintings and such handicrafts. All the details outside the big parts, like ship hull etc., are handmade. He also offers modeling courses in KOMEK (Kocaeli Municipality Vocational Training Courses). He took the talented people he met with on the courses and opened a workshop where he produced such handicrafts and earned his life in this way. He supervizes the others while actively working as well.

I think it's good, and if he can make a living out of it. Then that's great, however I think it's equally important that he keeps his fingers in the game and not supervize since talent needs to be polished if it is meant to be any good.

You can find plenty of talents like this in Japan.

No worries....
The results can be seen from the workmanship.

Turkish Navy really wants to get rid of US military dependence as much as possible.

She'll be used as a OT&E (Operational Test and Evaluation) platform for the Korkut-D system. If it's qualified (that is a prerequisite by the Turkish Navy), the system will be deployed fleet wide (hopefully).

Potential candidates; Meko 200TN BatchII ships via MLU (since TN already decided to deploy nearly 25 pieces of MAR-D, search radar for Korkut-D, in replacement of older AWS-6 Dolphins and LW-08 radars on board Meko Frigates (Yildiz Class FACMs counts) and Kilic Class FACMs respectively) and future new shipbuilding projects.

Well, combat/field testing these products would be best option. which means Turkey needs to participate in more NATO or other excersizes.

Another option would be to give this as a present to some country who need this, and agree to give information of how it works. I imagine the sea region near Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia would be interesting (China's claim to southern seas).

Philippines would most likely be grateful for this.

There is no such a combat testing but, field testing. You can't simply deploy a Weapon System into real situ. for testing, especially a naval system. Naval systems require challenging testing for qualification. Still, i'm not sure what is your meaning for field testing, can be static/stationary? and no need to conduct NATO exercise or any other exercises for testing. Testing has nothing to do with exercise. It has it's own discipline, procedures, evaluations etc.

When you put a system under the Operational Test, it's a near real situation envorinment but still, not combat sit. If the system qualifies, can go to battle field, and can be battle proven or not depending its performance. And it's battle performance would be very closely related to how you handled the issues found, if any, during the Op.Tests.

I find this part irrelevant...
