Will Turkey have an aircraft carrier with F-35B on board?

89
Regardless of whether the F35-B fighters appear in Turkey, the Anadolu aircraft carrier will be one of the most important ships in the entire history Turkish fleet. Which missions he will have to participate in depends largely on the future political decisions of the Turkish government: how close it will be with the United States, how the problems between Turkey and Greece will be regulated, how it will communicate with Russia. Anadolu will be able to become a valuable participant in resolving any of these issues.





Within two years, the Turkish Navy will receive TCG Anadolu - the largest warship in the Turkish fleet. But the future of Anadolu will largely determine the nature of the relationship between Ankara and Washington.

Juan Carlos I type ships

"Anadolu" is the fourth ship built on the model and likeness of the landing ship-aircraft carrier "Juan Carlos", which was commissioned by the Spanish Navy in 2010 year. Australian ships of the same project Canberra and Adelaide appeared in the Australian fleet in the 2014 and 2015 years. The Spanish shipbuilding company Navantia won a construction contract in cooperation with the Turkish company Sedef Shipbuilding Inc. The Spaniards designed the future "Anadolu" and carried out all the necessary design checks, and their Turkish colleagues agreed and organized the construction in Turkey. The ship will be ready for testing in the 2022 year.

Anadolu will have a displacement of 28000 tons at full load, length - 230 meters, speed 21 node (39 km / h). Initially, the Anadolu was conceived as a landing ship, but later it was decided to equip it with an aircraft carrier platform compatible with the F-35B fighter jets. Spanish Juan Carlos is integrated with AV-8B Harrier II aircraft, the design of which will soon celebrate its fortieth anniversary. If Spain buys the F-35B, the Juan Carlos will be upgraded for new fighters. Two Australian ships are intended only for amphibious operations, although soon Australia may also modify them under the F-35B.

According to preliminary information, "Anadolu" can be used in two versions - as an amphibious-cargo-aircraft carrier (emphasis on the wing) and to a greater extent it is a landing ship. In the first case, the ship can accommodate up to twelve F-35B. Anyway, until now, no one knows for sure whether Turkey will get fighters.

Why are Turkish F-35B at risk?

It is unlikely that Turkey will want to buy outdated Harriers from Spain, so the role of Anadolu depends directly on F35-B. The interest of the Turkish Navy in these fighters is due, among other things, to the fact that the Turks would like to use the Anadolu as a landing-cargo ship. In addition, Turkey is participating in a project to create F-35 type fighters.

The main problem for Turkey is the aggravation of relations between Washington and Ankara. First, no one wants to forget about trying to overthrow the regime of Turkish President Recep Erdogan in 2016, and about the difference in views on the Syrian conflict. Secondly, Turkey is showing its interest in purchasing Russian C-400 air defense systems, which goes against the US sanctions regime against Russia.

Third, the United States is not completely sure whether they want to allow Turkey to increase its expeditionary capabilities so much. Rumors have repeatedly arisen that Lockheed Martin and the United States Air Force discussed the exclusion of Turkey from the F-35 project.

Future missions “Anadolu”

Anadolu will significantly expand the capabilities of Turkey in the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Despite the thaw between Russia and Turkey, the Anadolu will become one of the main NATO ships in the Black Sea, even if there are no fighters on it. If Ankara continues to spoil relations with the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, then Anadolu could become a serious threat to the security of Greece.

In any case, Anadolu will allow Turkey to take an active part in rescue and humanitarian operations in the region.

                        Good. And the F-35 is not a bomb carrier, but an element of network-centric warfare to gain air superiority. With all other tasks, starting with the Papuans and ending with the fanatics, F16 will cope, the flight hour of which costs 15 times cheaper. Otherwise, it turns out that first you get an electron microscope, then the power station to it, and again they will have to hammer in nails.

                Again, let us turn to history. In 1943, after Stalingrad, the Germans decided to carry out general mobilization in Greece to send Greek formations to the Eastern Front. About 300.000 demonstrators under machine guns burned the ministry together with ready mobilization summons (several hundred demonstrators were killed). And this is in the country occupied by the Nazis, where else was this? . After that, the Germans sent several of their divisions from Northern Greece to the Eastern Front, and military units of the Bulgarian fascists sent to their place, who refused to go to the Eastern Front, explaining this by the Slavic brotherhood with the Russian people, but their atrocities in Northern Greece are commensurate with the Nazis. As for NATO: Greece became a member of this bloc after the defeat of the patriotic pro-communist forces in the Civil War (1946-1949), where their opponents were pro-Western pro-fascist troops organized and not heavily armed by the Anglo-Saxons and under the direct command of an American general (Van Fleet). T.ch. anti-NATO sentiments in Greek society, believe me, are simply enormous.

                    Already left NATO in 1974, after the occupation by the Turks with NATO support from Northern Cyprus. And then began with increasing territorial claims to Greece from Turkey (which had not happened before). In! 981, Greece returned to the bloc, hoping to nullify these squats, which of course did not happen.
                    T.ch. and the Turkish carrier and F-35 and S-400 Turks intend to use only against Greece because there is simply no other in the district to which such high-tech weapons can be used for purely economic reasons ..

                        For Greece, the obvious choice is because it concerns nat. I want to remind you of the high security and the threats that came from the same Turks when Cyprus bought the S-300 from Russia and in order not to aggravate the situation, this complex was stored in Crete, but for Russia, after the Su-24 was shot down, the ambassador was killed, everyone Turkish statements on Crimea and the desire to stake out a part of Syrian territory - the choice is not entirely obvious.

We have a Varshavyanka and a naval aviation regiment in the Crimea, both of which must be confronted, and an AB for a dozen F-35s is a good deterrent from our Su-30s if they operate at a radius close to the limit.
      That is, the Turks will not be able to move to our shores (unless "hit-and-run", and this, by the way, will be unpleasant for us, although not fatal), but this aircraft carrier will allow to strengthen its PLO.

            The children freed the computer, I bet. The Black Sea is completely shot through by coastal anti-ship missiles from the Crimea and in the event of aggression from Turkey against the Russian Federation, their AV will sail for 5 minutes (like all frigates to a heap). Keeping AV to intimidate countries like Ukraine, Georgia, Bulgaria is a bit silly. And at the expense of the Mediterranean Sea - you can buy 50-60 ground-based Fu-35 (for the same money) and "nightmare" the Greeks. The landing of troops on the territory of Greece is better to be carried out under the guise of emigrants in rubber boats, it looks like a more likely event than under the cover of AB.

      Turkey is growing before our eyes and ambitions too. They will build several more aircraft carriers in the coming years. In parallel, preparations are underway for the release of their aircraft (mini-jet engines themselves are already being made, and large ones are in the testing phase). They are also producing advanced unmanned aerial vehicles of various purposes, from reconnaissance to combat and will soon be replenished with the AKINCI large combat drone (it can carry up to 4.5 tons of bombs and a rocket), The day is not long that the Turks will still have intercontinental missiles with a nuclear warhead. And we, brothers from Azerbaijan, are happy for them and support them.

    As for geopolitics, Turkey and Greece are in control of Evil Briti. Greece in 1949, and Turtsiu is still about the Krimsk war. Erdogan somehow left the Anglo-Saxons and looks at the Ottoman Empire. But the Anglokras eat Gulen. In general, the name ANGLOSAXI is WRONG !!! Saxony belonged to the LUZHICHKI SERBI !!! Correctly write ENGLISH. The Luzhicani were never in a good relationship with the Franks and Angles. Greeks od 49g. under the terrible occupation of Anglo-rats. They don't choose anything. If the Turks go to Greece, England will simply serve them as they did in Cyprus. We must look at the war in Greece 1941-45. and then Anglo "civilian" 45-49. The Turks can be an ochim of the silni, and this is not a problem only for Greece and for Bulgaria, but also for Israel.

      One must think that in western Turkey there are many descendants of the Rus (Ukrainians), Serbs, Bulgars, Yelins and Islamiziranich Armenians. They all think that they are Turks and good warriors, so their army should always be taken seriously.

    The Turks can be in an aircraft carrier, Australia puts them on the water every year, in Russia again cartoons? Or did the young secretaries at the Department of Defense at Louis Vuitton spend everything? It is somehow sad that Russia cannot build even a few. In general, in light of the fact that Russia cannot be an aircraft carrier, cannot be packaged, cannot be a fit-out (piece deliveries do not count), it is already hard to believe that tomorrow we will rivet the nuclear reactors that will be pies endlessly plow the expanses of the universes ... of the Atlantic, that is.

      Russia can, but does not need it. And the PAK FA and "Armata" are not piece deliveries, but promising samples, whose refinement has already reached the finish line, which neither Turkey nor Australia will be able to repeat even in the future.

      Least of all Russia needs aircraft carriers such as the Spanish - this is a scanty ersatz, and not a full-fledged strike ship. Moreover, in narrow circles, it is widely believed that Russia generally does not need aircraft carriers because of the lack of tasks for them in the naval doctrine of Russia.

      Anatolia is the most prosperous province of the Byzantine Empire. And now there are generally villages where they live in dugouts ... And in general, the main problems of Turkey and other Islamic countries are education. I listened once to an interview by General Musharaf (Pakistan), who spoke very cleverly and said that the Muslim world needs education. And so the aircraft carrier or not, but the Turks do not reach Europe very much (here I also include Russia). They are like before Mars ....

            When the convention was written, Turkey did not think about aircraft carriers, incl. it could well have failed to pay attention, and the convention does not mention Turkey at all — there are two groups of states — the Black Sea and others — incl. requirements for the Turks as well as for any Black Sea state.

    There is a double game between Turkey and Fashington and a game for the public, maybe there is a minor conflict but it is not significant, the states and NATO will benefit from an alliance with the Turks only for the reason that in case of a big mess, many people do not want to share the feather but even in case of their collapse against Russia you can always turn on a fool like my hut from the edge and it's not me but they made

    Turkey does not need an aircraft carrier for the Black Sea or the Aegean Sea, the Turks have a well-developed network of ground-based air bases and quite serious for the Air Force region, which are enough to participate in a conflict with any of its 2 historical and geopolitical opponents - Iran and Greece, or even with both at the same time. Bulgarians, Georgians, Turks are not rivals in any way, with Russia, a battle at sea will also fail.
    In addition, a serious military conflict between Greece and Turkey (in which an aircraft carrier could take part - for example, a Turkish landing operation on the islands of the Aegean archipelago or in Cyprus) will not be tolerated by either the United States or Great Britain, which has every opportunity to "enforce peace "(the bases of the 6th US Navy in Crete, the British Air Force base Akrotiri in Cyprus), especially since after the political and diplomatic conflict with Turkey, the United States began serious processing of the Greeks on the possibility of providing one or two out of a dozen Greek Air Force bases for the US Air Force.
    In a one-on-one conflict with Iran, the Turkish mini-aircraft carrier is also not a fighter, neither in Oman nor in the Persian Gulfs, even with 5-6 escort frigates, there is no chance against the Iranian Air Force and Navy, they will simply be overwhelmed by the mass. Well, in the "International Coalition" against Iran, the Turkish aircraft carrier is just a siskin-fawn in comparison with several US AUGs, and the "share in the production", given the shitty outcome of this conflict for Iran, will be too small for Turkey. Moreover, such a war will already specifically stink of the Third World ...
    As for the idea expressed by one of my colleagues about the theoretically possible use of "Anadolu" as an "argument" in the struggle for the possibility of control over natural resources in Africa (especially in northern Africa), I find it quite logical and has the right to exist. Take, for example, the same Libya ... Turkey is fighting for leadership in the Islamic world with the Saud, Egypt, Pakistan and the same Iran (although there is still the eternal strife between the Sunnis and Shiites), in Libya there is a mess, each of the local "field commanders" - their own piece of the desert with delicious bowels, and each of them wants to have a profit from his garden, for which he is looking for a "roof" in a more reliable way. From bases on the territory of Turkey it is far to fly there, there will not be enough fuel back, and the flight will be very long with refueling, but a good squadron at a floating airfield near the coast is quite enough, the "Barmaley" have nothing to fly ... So the Turks it is quite capable of forming and politically recognizing some kind of "front for the Islamic liberation of Benghazi from Tripoli", designating this territory as a historically Turkish pashalyk and providing assistance to brothers in faith, here Anadolu will come in handy ...
    In conclusion, 2 small remarks:
    - there will be 6 mini-aircraft carriers built in El Ferrol, taking into account the Anadolu and the similar projects Principe de Asturias and the Thai Chakri Narubet, there will already be XNUMX, after the Americans - the second largest series, information for thought, however ..
    - for a colleague from Serbia, if I was not mistaken, the small amendment, the Slavic people mentioned by him, are the Luzhitsky Orbs.
