TF100 will also have ESSM and if possible indigenous SAM, the 4 ships are just first batch just like the Meko example we have (Meko 200 batch I, Meko 200 batch II). There will be procured as many as needed, first batch is most likely to replace the OHP's which have limited modernization.

The OHP's will be replaced by TF100 multipurpose frigates

Let's not rush into assumptions, there is nothing definite yet. The case is that the British MOD and Turkish MOD look into possible fields of cooperation and one of it is the TF2000/Type 26 since both nations seek a similar frigate. These contacts may lead to cooperation but the chance is...

Pakistan is selecting Chinese products simply because the Chinese are further in technology, Turkey is trying to close the gap with hundreds of research programs continuing and the gap will be closed in many areas but not all. In aero and space it is almost impossible to keep up with China.

Railgun is not an outer space technology nor state of the art technology. It's a simple magnetic catapult that many countries in the world can make. However it is true that the US has large research budgets and funds to become the first to make these kind of applications, money talks.

Wether TF-2000 will have kinetic energy weapons or not is not sure yet, however serious research is made in this area BEDIR SAVUNMA-Projeler Research projects of the company - Laser Pointer for the police department (project is finished and delivered) - Short range guided missile...

I believe the Al Khalid is a fine tank that will do OK and affordable enough for large numbers. IMO the best thing is that Pakistan continues the Al Khalid and Turkey the Altay tank, and combine in the future their capacities to develop a new joint tank for replacement.

Turret tests are continuing

Well I am not an expert but seen the total weight the mosquito is not doing under to the other VTOL's shown in this topic. It is still in prototype phase so I do not expect there is already a navalized version available. The endurance can be enhanced I guess by offsetting payload to extra fuel...

The mosquito UAV from Turkish TAI She has a take off weight of 300kg Payload of 120kg Endurance 1,5 hours range 150km can be armed with a launchtube for 2 laserguided CIRIT missiles

Not at all, GENESIS is developed solely by Havelsan. Havelsan is partnering Raytheon to market the GENESIS + circumvent US laws that needs approval for installation of foreign systems on a US boat sold on FMS. By partnering Raytheon Havelsan GENESIS doesn't need any US approvals. Also you...

Pakistan should consider to build her own defence industry and get knowhow from whomever this is. There is nothing above own industry.

Great news for the Pakistani navy, C-705 missiles are a superb choice and MRTP33 fast and stealth. It will add to firepower. :pakistan:

That's indeed an incredible low price for a frigate, I can understand why some Pakistani's doubt the effectivity of the Perry frigate acquisition, with such a price I would too.

How much is the F22P costing, does anyone know?

The battle of Navarino is a perfect showcase why it is so important to have a strong navy, since this battle was the begining of the end of the Ottoman empire. Strong navy is what we (Pakistan and Turkey) pursue but the reality is that both of us lack sufficient funds to realise it. So both...

Hmm yeah you are right on the Australian perry, they seem to have got only radar upgrades, The Turkish upgraded perry's are to receive the Smart-s 3D radar.

I sense a lot of misunderstanding Refurbishment is not the same as upgrade! If Pakistani OHP get's a refurbishment is does not mean she will get an MK41 (since that would mean upgrade!) Placing of an MK41VLS alone doesn't make any sense since such would also require the installation of...

1) range of OHP: 4500 miles at 20knt range of Milgem: 3500 miles at 15knt How many miles do you suppose enemy submarines will position themselves to become a threath? By the way if you noticed the modern trend is using Corvettes in anti submarine roles, the US with LCS, Turkey with Milgem...

From point of displacement you are right, the OHP (4000tonnes) has twice the displacement of the Milgem (2000tonnes). But from point of operation the Milgem beats the OHP with ease. Both ships carry similar weapons for their prime duty: hunting submarines. The US built the OHP because...
