I don't understand it they will not launch the same rocket twice in thier space map
Like they will make a sounding rocket in 2023 and a pslv in 2026 and then a gslv in 2028
Dosent just the making and testing of the engine take 3-4 years ?

Don't take Turks seriously, they have over expectations about themselves after seeing just 1 success, they are becoming as delusional as Porkies these days. Indian Defence enthusiasts go into panic mode by just seeing a bayraktar....while completely forgetting our own achievements, we are technologically far far ahead than Turks....they are no where near us.

All of their defense products are designed by European or Korean consultants, stuffed with off-the-shelf OEM parts. The baykar drones won't do much against Indian Armed Forces.
blame social media propaganda, the baykar drones have been elevated to wunderwaffe status almost
In my latest post I forgot about TF-2000 destroyer. So this one will be about it. And since this is dedicated to a single vessel, I thought I should share about its subsystems, too.
A quick Wiki info;
The TF-2000-class destroyer is a projected anti-air warfare destroyer currently undergoing development by the Turkish Naval Institute. The class will provide survivability in the presence of aerial threat and also support mission functions such as command, control, and communications, reconnaissance, early warning, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare and electronic warfare. On 5 December 2007, Defence Industry Executive Committee approved plans to build six ships of this class (4 fixed, 2 optional). In January 2013, it was announced that Turkey was planning to acquire a total of 8 TF-2000 destroyers, which was confirmed in International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2021. With the realization of the project, it is intended to improve the anti-air warfare (AAW) capabilities of the Turkish Navy.
---
Now that you're roughly familiar with the ship, let's get into its components and the contribution of the Turkish designed and manufactured subsystems.
From the top,
-Laser Electronic Attack System(NAZAR)
The NAZAR Land System protects vital military sites and infrastructure by providing broadband state-of-the-art laser functional destruction capabilities against EO/IR guided missiles. Because of its broadband operation capabilities, NAZAR has been developed not just to be effective against known EO/IR guided missiles, but also to include reconnaissance and surveillance features that will give it an advantage against asymmetric threats.
- Close-in Weapon System(GÖKDENİZ)
GOKDENIZ CIWS along with 35 mm Airburst Ammunition (ATOM) developed by ASELSAN is a close-in weapon system (CIWS) highly effective against anti-ship missiles. The system with the Automatic Linkless Ammunition Feed Mechanism allows loading both HEI and Airburst Ammunition at the same time and switching between ammunition types as needed. In addition to anti-ship missiles, GOKDENIZ is also effective against helicopters, fighters, UAVs and asymmetric surface naval threats.
- Decoy Launching System(KALKAN)
TF-2000 HSHM will have a Decoy Launching System (KALKAN) that has nationally designed software and hardware that is capable of launching decoys against RF and IR guided missiles automatically, semi-automatically and manually, issuing tactical recommendations against guided missiles and is integrable with the Combat Management System.
I couldn't find any recent info or photo about the project. It'll be revealed when ready(probably).
- LPI Radar(ALPER Naval LPI Radar)
ALPER is a low probability of intercept (LPI) naval radar system for the detection of sea surface targets. Developed specifically for wartime navigation of military vessels, ALPER's LPI characteristic is vital in detecting surrounding targets while not being detected by enemy vessels. ALPER's design allows for integration with Warfare Management Systems and existing navigation radars on the vessel, and hence can be operated via a mutual console. Therefore, ALPER can conveniently be integrated on all types of vessels.
- Electro-Optical Director(SeaEye-AHTAPOT, Aselflir-300D)
- ARES series Radar Electronic Support Systems(ESM)
ARES-2N has detection, diagnosis, classification, tracking, navigation, locating, voice alert, platform association and broadcast recording capabilities. The system is of vital importance for the platform, especially against radar-guided anti-ship missile attacks, because the ARES-2N ED system can precisely detect the direction and elevation angles by early detection of targets emitting RF signals and identification of the target type.
- Surface to Surface Guided Missile(ATMACA)
* The surface to surface version of ATMACA missile
- Surface to Air Guided Missiles(Hisar Family SAM)
Hisar O+ Firing Test
Siper Block-0 Firing Test(75km interception range)
The Hisar (Turkish: "fortress") is a family of short, medium and long-range surface-to-air missile systems being developed by Roketsan and Aselsan since 2007. The missiles are developed by Roketsan, while most sensors and electronics are developed by Aselsan. The missile family consists of the short range Hisar-A, medium range Hisar-O, the 100 km long range Hisar-U and the 150 km air defence system SİPER. Missile seeker of Hisar-A and Hisar-O is infrared homing.
The Block-2 of the missile will have 150km. Block-1 and Block-2 of the SİPER family is expected to enter service by 2025. The final version of the family will be the Anti-Ballistic Missile(ABM) and expected to enter inventory by 2028.
- Cruise Missile(GEZGİN)
The missile is subsonic, long range(1000km+), being developed by Tübitak-SAGE. The research-institution is very secretive about the project. We don't have any photo of it, yet. Developed the SOM(Stand-off-missile) missile, the institute has ample experience with cruise missiles. The GEZGİN missile is much anticipated by the followers of the industry. Kale-Arge(R&D) is the developer of the engine of the missile.(ARAT project)
www.youtube.com
- Vertical Launch System(MDAS)
This is another item we're sanctioned with. We can't get our hands on Mk-41. So ASELSAN was tasked with the development of the system. Normally, we were told the firing tests of the system would commence this year but it didn't happen yet. So it will probably extend to 2023. Fingers crossed.
- Multi Functional Phased Array Radar(ÇAFRAD)
Undisputedly the most important element of this list.
The ÇAFRAD radar is being developed for the future TF-2000 Frigates anti air warfare of the Turkish Navy. It will come in the form of an integrated mast combining four main sensors (from top to bottom):
– An active, non-rotating IFF Antenna
– An X-band active phased array multi-function radar (150 km range and track capacity in excess of 1000 targets)
– An X-band active phased array illumination radar (150 km range)
– An S-band active phased array long range search radar (450 km range and track capacity in excess of 2000 targets
The project consists of two phases. The first phase of the program used GaAs modules. In 2019, TCG Göksu, a Perry-class Frigate (the former USS Estocin), was used as a test platform for the ÇAFRAD program. A prototype ÇAFRAD system was fitted on the helicopter deck of the frigate. The sea-trials were successful and the project moved to the second-phase.

In the video, you see the radar is guiding ESSM missile.
In the second phase of the program, the radar will utilize home-grown GaN modules.
- 127mm Naval Gun
We didn't intend to develop a naval gun, or caliber of this size, at least. But this is also another weapon we're sanctioned with. We can't buy neither 76mm or 127mm version of Oto Malera naval gun. MKE(The Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation), made a surprising reveal in December,2021, showed the live-fire test of 76mm indigenous gun.
www.youtube.com
This summer the gun was integrated to TCG Beykoz Corvette and the sea-firing tests successfully completed.

This took way longer than I imagined. I couldn't add all the images I wanted due to the 20 image limit. Watch all the youtube videos I put. They're all test videos and they're short.
Next, I want to write about the EOTS systems and radars and the module-level manufacturing capability of Turkey. Giving detailed-info about locally designed and manufactured FPAs, the techniques that are used, the research that's been going on, currently available products, the prototypes with specs etc.
Maybe this will cure the ignorance of some people here who are missing the forest for the trees by creating a straw man from bloated TB2 craze. If you want to comment on something, at least, have the decency to make a quick search so that you won't embarrass yourself. Especially so if you consider that the forum has no "edit" feature.
Genuine interest is welcome while contempt and hubris is not.

Eyevallah ,rodeo effendiIn my latest post I forgot about TF-2000 destroyer. So this one will be about it. And since this is dedicated to a single vessel, I thought I should share about its subsystems, too.
Type Anti-air warfare destroyer Displacement 8500 tonnes Length 166 m Beam 21.5 m Draft 5.4 m
Speed over 28 knots (52 km/h; 32 mph) Complement 130–150 Time to activate 2027
A quick Wiki info;
The TF-2000-class destroyer is a projected anti-air warfare destroyer currently undergoing development by the Turkish Naval Institute. The class will provide survivability in the presence of aerial threat and also support mission functions such as command, control, and communications, reconnaissance, early warning, surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare and electronic warfare. On 5 December 2007, Defence Industry Executive Committee approved plans to build six ships of this class (4 fixed, 2 optional). In January 2013, it was announced that Turkey was planning to acquire a total of 8 TF-2000 destroyers, which was confirmed in International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2021. With the realization of the project, it is intended to improve the anti-air warfare (AAW) capabilities of the Turkish Navy.
---
Now that you're roughly familiar with the ship, let's get into its components and the contribution of the Turkish designed and manufactured subsystems.
From the top,
-Laser Electronic Attack System(NAZAR)
The NAZAR Land System protects vital military sites and infrastructure by providing broadband state-of-the-art laser functional destruction capabilities against EO/IR guided missiles. Because of its broadband operation capabilities, NAZAR has been developed not just to be effective against known EO/IR guided missiles, but also to include reconnaissance and surveillance features that will give it an advantage against asymmetric threats.
- Close-in Weapon System(GÖKDENİZ)
GOKDENIZ CIWS along with 35 mm Airburst Ammunition (ATOM) developed by ASELSAN is a close-in weapon system (CIWS) highly effective against anti-ship missiles. The system with the Automatic Linkless Ammunition Feed Mechanism allows loading both HEI and Airburst Ammunition at the same time and switching between ammunition types as needed. In addition to anti-ship missiles, GOKDENIZ is also effective against helicopters, fighters, UAVs and asymmetric surface naval threats.
- Decoy Launching System(KALKAN)
TF-2000 HSHM will have a Decoy Launching System (KALKAN) that has nationally designed software and hardware that is capable of launching decoys against RF and IR guided missiles automatically, semi-automatically and manually, issuing tactical recommendations against guided missiles and is integrable with the Combat Management System.
I couldn't find any recent info or photo about the project. It'll be revealed when ready(probably).
- LPI Radar(ALPER Naval LPI Radar)
ALPER is a low probability of intercept (LPI) naval radar system for the detection of sea surface targets. Developed specifically for wartime navigation of military vessels, ALPER's LPI characteristic is vital in detecting surrounding targets while not being detected by enemy vessels. ALPER's design allows for integration with Warfare Management Systems and existing navigation radars on the vessel, and hence can be operated via a mutual console. Therefore, ALPER can conveniently be integrated on all types of vessels.
- Electro-Optical Director(SeaEye-AHTAPOT, Aselflir-300D)
- ARES series Radar Electronic Support Systems(ESM)
ARES-2N has detection, diagnosis, classification, tracking, navigation, locating, voice alert, platform association and broadcast recording capabilities. The system is of vital importance for the platform, especially against radar-guided anti-ship missile attacks, because the ARES-2N ED system can precisely detect the direction and elevation angles by early detection of targets emitting RF signals and identification of the target type.
- Surface to Surface Guided Missile(ATMACA)
Mass 750 kg (Anti-ship version), 890 kg (KARA Atmaca) Length 4,800 - 5,200 mm Diameter 350 mm Effective firing range > 220 km[1]/250 km[2]/+ 280 km (KARA Atmaca)[3] Warhead High-explosive penetrating warhead Warhead weight 220 kg (Anti-ship variant), 250 kg (KARA Atmaca)
* The surface to surface version of ATMACA missile
- Surface to Air Guided Missiles(Hisar Family SAM)
Hisar O+ Firing Test
Siper Block-0 Firing Test(75km interception range)
The Hisar (Turkish: "fortress") is a family of short, medium and long-range surface-to-air missile systems being developed by Roketsan and Aselsan since 2007. The missiles are developed by Roketsan, while most sensors and electronics are developed by Aselsan. The missile family consists of the short range Hisar-A, medium range Hisar-O, the 100 km long range Hisar-U and the 150 km air defence system SİPER. Missile seeker of Hisar-A and Hisar-O is infrared homing.
The Block-2 of the missile will have 150km. Block-1 and Block-2 of the SİPER family is expected to enter service by 2025. The final version of the family will be the Anti-Ballistic Missile(ABM) and expected to enter inventory by 2028.
- Cruise Missile(GEZGİN)
The missile is subsonic, long range(1000km+), being developed by Tübitak-SAGE. The research-institution is very secretive about the project. We don't have any photo of it, yet. Developed the SOM(Stand-off-missile) missile, the institute has ample experience with cruise missiles. The GEZGİN missile is much anticipated by the followers of the industry. Kale-Arge(R&D) is the developer of the engine of the missile.(ARAT project)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
- Vertical Launch System(MDAS)
This is another item we're sanctioned with. We can't get our hands on Mk-41. So ASELSAN was tasked with the development of the system. Normally, we were told the firing tests of the system would commence this year but it didn't happen yet. So it will probably extend to 2023. Fingers crossed.
- Multi Functional Phased Array Radar(ÇAFRAD)
Undisputedly the most important element of this list.
The ÇAFRAD radar is being developed for the future TF-2000 Frigates anti air warfare of the Turkish Navy. It will come in the form of an integrated mast combining four main sensors (from top to bottom):
– An active, non-rotating IFF Antenna
– An X-band active phased array multi-function radar (150 km range and track capacity in excess of 1000 targets)
– An X-band active phased array illumination radar (150 km range)
– An S-band active phased array long range search radar (450 km range and track capacity in excess of 2000 targets
The project consists of two phases. The first phase of the program used GaAs modules. In 2019, TCG Göksu, a Perry-class Frigate (the former USS Estocin), was used as a test platform for the ÇAFRAD program. A prototype ÇAFRAD system was fitted on the helicopter deck of the frigate. The sea-trials were successful and the project moved to the second-phase.
In the video, you see the radar is guiding ESSM missile.TCG Göksu Fırkateynin ÇAFRAD kontrolünde ESSM atışı yapması

In the second phase of the program, the radar will utilize home-grown GaN modules.
- 127mm Naval Gun
We didn't intend to develop a naval gun, or caliber of this size, at least. But this is also another weapon we're sanctioned with. We can't buy neither 76mm or 127mm version of Oto Malera naval gun. MKE(The Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation), made a surprising reveal in December,2021, showed the live-fire test of 76mm indigenous gun.

Where is Turkey on cryogenic engine development? Without that technology and a few other critical technologies, Turkey won’t be able to have their own space launch program. Very few countries have access to cryogenic engine technolog and even fewer have semi-cryogenic technology.

Evet kardasa Turkish TV viewer?
sağolasın kardaş.
Saw all episodes of muhtesim yuzil with english subtitles
The death of mustafa and cihangir were bad but ultimately for good .
Its good mustafa was killed , completely right .
My favorite scene is this one, the way mustafa shouts " ateshhhhh" is terrifying

I watched Muhteşem Yüzyıl, too. It was such an epic TV Series. The story, the acting, the MUSICS and the poems were impeccable. After watching the series, I actually went to visit the tombs of Mahidevran Hatun and Şehzade Mustafa in Bursa(my hometown). It was surreal, and felt very sad. The mother and the son lying side by side, lives spent with love, ambition, conspiration and sorrow.
Some soul piercing music from the series,
A more clean version of it ,

Such a good production. This was the first of the then proliferated historical TV Series in Turkey. In 2019, it was reported that the series was watched by over 500 million people worldwide in more than 70 countries.
I can only image what the count must be now.
