ASFAT to Display TF-2000 AAW Destroyer in SAHA EXPO
The TF-2000 Anti-Air Warfare Destroyer will be displayed at the SAHA EXPO 2024 exhibition in Istanbul.
ASFAT, which will build the TF-2000 air defence destroyer at the Istanbul Shipyard Command with the SSIK decision, will display the latest iteration of the TF-2000’s design at SAHA EXPO 2024, which will take place between 22 and 26 October this year.
The exhibition will display TF-2000’s published design changes more clearly. Some of these changes include the removal of ATMACA anti-ship missile launchers for an additional 32 MİDLAS VLS cells and the removal of AYR illumination radar from the ÇAFRAD radar complex.
TF-2000 will be a large leap in terms of the Turkish Navy’s air defence capabilities thanks to 96 strike length MİDLAS VLS cells to house HİSAR-D (40+ km range), SAPAN Block 1/2 (Assumed medium and medium-long range respectively), SİPER Block 1-D (100+ km range), and SİPER Block 2-D (150+ km range) air defence missiles. The close-range defences consist of a GÖKDENİZ CIWS on the stern and a PDMS on the bow (GÖKSUR or LEVENT). In addition to air defence, the ships will be capable of ASuW and land attack missions with vertical-launch ATMACA anti-ship missiles and GEZGİN cruise missiles.
