ASFAT is displaying the latest iteration of Türkiye’s first indigenous Anti-Air Warfare Destroyer TF-2000 at the ongoing SAHA Expo 2024, just weeks after officially beginning construction of the vessel. The company will build the TF-2000 air defence destroyer at the Istanbul Shipyard Command.
The display of the design will give show attendees a chance to learn about TF-2000’s published design changes. The air defence destroyer, which has been conceived as one that is capable of protecting against high-speed, long-range missile threats, is designed by the Turkish Navy’s Design Project Office. While the TF-2000′s primary aim is to detect and destroy guided missiles, the ship will be capable of destroying ballistic missiles as well.
The TF-2000, which is a stellar example of the growing capabilities of Türkiye’s domestic defence industry, will serve as a key platform for regional air defence. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art sensor systems, including the Aselsan-designed phased array radar system (ÇAFRAD) that will provide surveillance over a 300 km radius. The warship will be outfitted with the choicest of indigenously-made weapons, including the Siper and Hisar air defence missiles. The ship also features a Levent point defence missile system. Apart from air defence, the vessel will also be capable of ASuW and land attack missions, as it will be equipped with vertical-launch ATMACA anti-ship missiles. The use of the GEZGİN long-range cruise missile, which is capable of attacking and destroying strategic targets in the enemy mainland, gives its offensive capabilities added tooth.
Design efforts of the warship began as early as in 2017. With a length of 149 meters, width of 21.3 meters and a displacement of 8,300 tons, the TF-2000 is capable of reaching speeds of over 26 knots. It has a draft of 5.75 meters. Its 96-cell vertical launch system (MİDLAS) significantly enhances its firepower. The vessel also features robust anti-submarine capabilities. The ship, which is designed for 130-150 crew members, will have an estimated range of 5,000 nautical miles at 18 knots.
