First steel cut Jan 2, 2025 (Istanbul Naval Shipyard); ASFAT prime contractor (Jul 2025). Launch ~2027-28, sea trials ~2029-30, commissioning target ~2030-31 (sources span 2030↔2031; right at the 2030 inventory cutoff — like KAAN/SİPER-2). MİDLAS + HİSAR-D RF tests verified aboard TCG İstanbul; ÇAFRAD integration is the main technical risk. (Research R-1 → verified by Claude with Naval News.)
