The Varshavyanka-class (Project 636) is an improved version of the Kilo-class submarines and features advanced stealth technology, extended combat range and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets.
-Turkish Navy with advanced surface and underwater fleets are the strongest in Blacksea so Russia is just building more assets to keep stability.
-At present, Turkish naval industry is building 16 coastal ASuW warship and 12 Milgem ASuW corvettes. Along with current submarine fleet, 6 New AIP submarines are also being manufactured by Istanbul Shipyard.
-6 ATR-72-600 AsuW aircraft and 9 ASW/AsuW CN-235 aircrafts are taken delivery in 2013 and Many other projects/subsystems/Torpedo defence technologies are proceeding/completed.
-Turkish domestic torpedos/anti-ship missiles are tested on Blacksea.
-Roketsan joined IDEAS missile program as risk-share partner which is going to be integrated on submarine fleets to engage strategic surface assets...
-The older radars of Turkish frigates (MEKO + Gabya) were replaced with Aselsan manufactured Smart-S surveillance radars. Gabya frigates are received 8 cell MK-41 VLS, While MEKO's are 16 cell MK-41 VLS.
Many more projects are proceeding...
Russian Blacksea fleet is mostly folowing developments of Turkey.
