I want to compare the specifications between Milgem ASuW corvette and FREEM multi-purpose frigate to tell the superiority of Milgem more clearly... I know they are different class battle ships but Let's check the specifications....
Thanks to My Brother Nutuk on WAFF for these awesome informations...
FREMM is a multipurpose frigate
Milgem is a patrol / Anti submarine corvette
--FREMM has the Thales Type 4110 hull mounted sonar:
This is a medium frequency sonar that deliveres a medium range detection (compared to the Turkish Milgem active low frequency sonar for long range detection)
Fremm Thales Sonar...
--Remarkable difference between FREMM and Milgem are that FREMM uses medium range bow radar and a long range towed sonar, on the Milgem it is the other way around namely a long range bow sonar and towed sonar for medium range.

-RADARs
FREMM
The radar of the FREMM is Herakles 3D S-band multipurpose radar. HERAKLES is a 3D rotating multifunction radar that is designed to be the sole radar on board of major naval platforms. It concurrently performs all functions involved in the establishment of air and surface pictures. HERAKLES performs target detection and tracking, target classification, weapon assignment and deployment and missile uplink guidance. HERAKLES is optimised to detect and track multiple SSM, ARM, diving missiles, fighters and helicopters in littoral
environments. Range: 250km
Milgem
The SMART-S Mk2 is a medium to long-range, 3D multi-beam, E/F-band, volume search radar suitable for both air surveillance, helicopter guidance and target designation in the littoral environment at ranges of up to 250 km and up to 70-degree in elevation. The radar target set available for the SMART-S includes aircraft, small surface vessels, helicopters and anti-ship missiles. Thales Naval Systems designed the SMART-S Mk2 for optimal use in conjunction with the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM). In addition, SMART-S Mk2 with Seapar multi-function radar generate a powerful sensor weapon suite for offshore patrol vessels, corvettes, light frigates and amphibious assault ships. Range: 250km

Now, Think Tf-2000 against Fremm...
---and ,BAE has offered Turkey the whole technology of their new developed Artisan Radar to redevelop a national air-defence naval radar based on Artisan for future naval platforms of Turkey...It can be assess for future cooperation projects between Pak-Turkey naval platforms...
