A special meeting was held regarding Turkey’s domestic and national defense industry breakthroughs. The Defense Industry Executive Committee convened under the chairmanship of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. At the meeting, evaluations were made under the main headings of yesterday, today and the future of the Turkish defense industry. In addition, decisions were taken regarding the domestic and national aircraft carrier project. Here are the details about the subject…
The decision has been made! Design activities for the domestic aircraft carrier are starting!
TCG Anadolu Multi-Purpose Amphibious Assault Ship entered the Turkish Naval Forces inventory in April 2023. TCG Anadolu, which is a naval base especially for unmanned aerial vehicles, also holds the title of the largest naval platform of the Turkish Navy with a length of 32 meters.
The decision has now been made for the “domestic aircraft carrier” project, which has been on President Erdoğan’s agenda for a long time. The Defense Industry Executive Committee meeting on the subject decided to start the project. The project, which will begin with the design process, can now be considered as “actually started”.

The production of the domestic aircraft carrier with Spain, as in the construction of the TCG Anatolian Ship, is also on the agenda. This topic was actually answered in 2021. Regarding the issue, President Erdoğan said, “Our first aircraft carrier is not actually large-scale, but we will build a large-scale one from now on. We already agree with my dear friend on this issue. “Hopefully, we aim to build a large aircraft carrier after the current aircraft carrier, and perhaps we will also have the opportunity to enter the submarine business,” he said.
At the meeting, decisions were taken regarding the construction of offshore patrol ships, new types of landing ships, new generation mine hunting ships and national assault boats for the naval forces. In addition, decisions were taken for the construction of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th ships of the MİLGEM Program. To summarize in general, the SSİK meeting is of great importance for the naval forces.
