5 Projects which will strengthen the Turkish Navy in 2022-2023
1 ) ISTIF class Frigate by 2023
These highly stealthy Frigates have extremely reduced radar, IR and acoustic signatures, and they are backed by a low probability of intercept (LPI) radar that could sneak up to enemy surface vessels and deliver a lethal blow

YAKAMOS Hull Mounted Sonar System
ASELSAN MAR-D Search Radar
LPI Radar
Fire Control Radar
Electro-Optical Sensor
Torpedo Countermeasure System
ATMACA Coastal Defense Missile System
Warhead : 250 kg
Range : 250 km
Seeker : IIR
Speed : high subsonic
-- super sea skimming ( below 3 m )
-- zigzag maneuver that makes it difficult for anti missile batteries
IIR guided ATMACA Missile increasing its performance in the Aegean Sea
The land-based version of the ATMACA anti-ship Missile is outfitted with an Imaging Infrared seeker (IIR) and an image processing function that allows the missile to take out targets positioned near islands
The RF guided, sea-based version lacks this capability
ATMACA Anti-Ship Missile will act as Turkiye’s defense umbrella and the main constituent of The Turkish Navy’s defense grid, giving it all-round protection against adversary threats
