The French press spoke about the possibilities of Turkish submarines to penetrate the Russian control zone in the Black Sea

Ankara attaches great importance to Reis-class submarines (Type 214 TN), the purchase of which cost $ 2 billion. After receiving them, the Turkish Navy will be able to change the balance of power in its favor in the entire adjacent water area, including the Black Sea.

Unlike those currently in service with the Turkish fleet diesel-electric submarines, new submarines have an air-independent power plant, which reduces the noise during the movement of submarines and increases the time they stay under water.
The VNEU of Reis submarines is based on the proven system of the German company HDW. It uses PEM FC polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (generate 2x120 kW of electricity) and high-capacity batteries (232 units). This fuel system allows the submarine to be on the march for a long time.



Armament will be represented by 533 mm torpedoes (German product DM2A4, local AKYA and MK48 Mod 6AT), anti-ship missiles (Harpoon, possibly local ATMACA anti-ship missiles) and mines.

The construction of six Reis submarines is carried out at the Turkish shipyard in Gelchuk. On March 23, 2021, the first submarine was launched; its commissioning is scheduled for 2022. Over the next five years, the rest of the submarines will be put into service.

According to the French edition of Naval News, the appearance of an updated submarine fleet in Turkey will lead to a change in the balance of power along the entire perimeter of the country's maritime borders. They called for blocking the sale of Reis by Berlin in Athens (they have 5 submarines with VNEU: 4 Type 214 and 1 modernized Type 209 project).

Turkey will again gain an advantage over Greece

- stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country.


The diesel submarines project 636.3


At the same time, Ankara intends to build 4-6 of its own submarines with VNEU of the MILDEN project, with which it is planned to replace obsolete submarines of the 209/1200 type.

In the second half of the 2030s, the delicate balance of submarine forces in the [Eastern Mediterranean] region is likely to change in favor of Turkey

- noted in the publication.

According to the author, a similar reshuffle of forces awaits the Black Sea region. After the annexation of Crimea, Russia increased its submarine fleet to 7 pennants (instead of 1) due to the supply of Project 636.3 submarines, which are capable of launching Caliber missiles, but do not have VNEU. Currently, the Turkish Navy has 12 diesel-electric submarines, and after the commissioning of the Reis class, the total number of submarines will be 18 (including 6 with VNEU).

These submarine forces will be able to infiltrate the heavily defended Russian A2/AD zone of control in the Black Sea.

- noted in the French press, indicating that, in accordance with the Montreux Convention, the Turkish submarine fleet is the only NATO asset capable of resisting the ambitions of the Russian fleet.

          Why Maidan, in the course of simple elections, he can lose. From an economic point of view, it's bad. The share of imports is very significant.
          If the Turkish lira falls against other currencies, the prices of all imported goods, including food, will rise.

          If the fall that has already happened is smooth and small, then this is not scary for Erdogan, if the fall is sharp or very large, then Erdogan is kapets.

          But there are probably no good prospects for the Turkish economy ....

        Turkey's submarine fleet is the only NATO asset capable of countering the ambitions of the Russian fleet.

          I’m also wondering why VNEU itself is in the Black Sea. No, VNEU is certainly a useful thing, but expensive and, in my opinion, unnecessary for the Black Sea Fleet. But the French from their sheska see it that way.
          This is how I want to remind them that one of their empirators also considered himself invincible, and called his army "great". It was only from this very "great" army that the miserable remnants of the hungry and frostbitten conquerors of Europe crossed the Berezina River. And you can also remember one field near the village of Borodino, where we met with them two whole times and both times were not in their favor.

    Turkey's submarine fleet is the only NATO asset capable of countering the ambitions of the Russian fleet.

    In the Black Sea, Russia does not exhibit any claims and ambitions. She believes that the isolation of the Black Sea and the specificity of depths below 200 meters does not have the physical possibility of using it as a testing ground for countries that have nothing to do with this area.
    There is no need to scare Russia with the Turkish fleet. Let's figure it out without snotty frogs. For every Turkish ... there is a tricky "package".

      1.
      new submarines have an air-independent power plant, which reduces noise during the movement of submarines and increases the time of their stay under water.
      AIP on the other side, not on noise. It is designed to increase the duration of continuous stay of NNSs under water due to anaerobic generation of electricity. The noisiness of the submarine mainly depends on the contours of the hull (laminar flow), the speed of movement under water (cavitation), the structural noise of internal mechanisms ...
      2.
      The VNEU of Reis submarines is based on the proven system of the German company HDW. ... This fuel system allows the submarine travel for a long time
      Those. we are talking about the AUTONOMY of the submarine, which is not entirely true. It would be more correct to talk about continuous stay under water, and not at sea, because autonomy depends on the reserves of provisions, water and fuel, crew fatigue, the time of continuous operation of some devices ...
      3.
      The construction of six Reis submarines is carried out at the Turkish shipyard in Gelchuk.
      It would be more accurate to say "assembly", because --
      The above submarines are being built at the Turkish shipyard Gölcük, located on the east coast of the Sea of ​​Marmara, within the framework of a joint program with Germany. The construction of submarines is carried out jointly with the largest German shipyard HDW (Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft), the contract was signed in 2009. HDW collects only main body and mechanical components and some secret components, including fuel cells and propulsion systems. All electronic components and weapons systems are manufactured and installed in Turkey.

        Somewhere it came across that this is an export version of type 212. The main components are made in Germany, and the buyer already assembles the boats, doing something at home. Moreover, the Germans did not give the "zest" of non-magnetic steel to anyone (except, it seems, Israel). So 214 is just an ordinary diesel engine with fuel cells instead of part of the batteries. Yes, it can "crawl" for much longer without surfacing. But do not forget - the fuel cell is not recharged in the campaign.
