Turkiye Begins MILDEN, TF-2000, and MUGEM Constructions TurDef
Turkish defence industry activities are at full speed in 2025. The Ministry of National Defence announced at the first press briefing in 2025 that the construction work on MILDEN, TF-2000, and the National Aircraft Carrier (MUGEM) has started.
According to the statement made at the Ministry of National Defence’s weekly press conference, the first welding of the National Submarine (MILDEN) was made at the Gölcük Shipyard Command, and the first steel cutting of the “TF-2000 Air Defence Warfare Destroyer” and the “National Aircraft Carrier” (MUGEM) was made at the Istanbul Shipyard Command, and their construction began.
Turkiye designed MILDEN with the experience it gained from constructing the Reis class AIP submarines produced under license. An alternative AIP technology is developed and will be integrated into MILDEN submarines.
The TF-2000 air defence destroyer and MUGEM work has been ongoing for a long time. The Ministry of National Defence's statement indicates that the desired level of maturity has been reached in the design phase for these three studies to be materialised.
