Turkey faced problems on acquisition-wing UDC carrier “Anatolia”

Турция столкнулась с проблемами по комплектованию авиакрыла УДК-авианосца "Anadolu"
At the recently concluded meeting of the Turkish Navy Command was announced, that the aircraft carrier "Anatolia" will be put into service of the Turkish naval forces in 2020 year. We are talking about the TCG Anadolu amphibious assault ship with carrier-based component, which is built by the Spanish and Turkish specialists. As the producer, used in the construction of some 68 percent of the Turkish component.

At the same time, military experts in Turkey say, that the command is trying to get round the topic of serious problems with the UDC.

originally (when the warship were just beginning to build) in the Turkish Navy did not hide, that the basic expectations in terms of the formation of its lay wing on the American fighter F-35B.

In this way, in front of the Turkish Naval Forces problem: UDC commissioned in 2020 year will go down, but what to use as part of its wing Jets? Focus on attack aircraft AV-8B «Harrier» II, as in embodiment procurement (besides, that their production is minimized) – It is not exactly, which originally wanted the Turkish Navy. therefore, by and large, two options: or to continue to negotiate with the Americans on the F-35B, either at this point to abandon the modern wing of the airplane to "Anadolu", turning it into the first place in the UDC-helicopter carrier. Ankara until this situation does not comment publicly, ways out of it – also.
