But KSA, UAE and may be Oman needs that. Also instead of buying very old Type 209 instead to work with Turkey for JV on Submarines as well.

That's a misconception about submarines: just because they were designed and first built in a certain period does not mean that if you build one new today, it is equipped in the same way. A good boat is a good boat. What's inside the boat can be changed. Compare to e.g. P-3C Orion. Besides, Turkey gets 214s.

Can Pakistan, KSA, UAE and Turkey develop jointly:
7000 Tons Destroyer
3500 Tons Frigates
1850 Tons Corvettes
0830 Tons FAC
Other needed Military and commercial equipment

Although Pakistan might not be in the condition of JV but I wish if KSA along with UAE, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain in a single Arab State. Also this Arab State along with Egypt, Libya, Alegria and may be Morocco and Tunisia to work with Turkey on JV like:
7000 Tons Destroyer
3500 Tons Frigates
1850 Tons Corvettes
0830 Tons FAC
Other needed Military and commercial equipment

Also on Submarines:
3500 Tons SSK
1850 Tons SSK
0830 Tons Coastal SSK
110-210 Special Force Submarines
Rescue and other types of Submarines

1- Those displacement classifications are wrong if Turkey involves which probably won't. TF2000-class AAW frigate will have 7,000+ tonnes of displacement which DZKK recalls it as a frigate as for NSC protocols.

2- Each naval force has pros and cons of their own. Please refrain from dreaming on.

Turkey marks finalisation of Meltem II MPA project
(was already posted in turkish)

Turkey has marked the finalisation of its Meltem II maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) programme for the Turkish Navy in a ceremony on 28 April.

The ceremony marked the delivery of five Meltem II MPAs to the final standard for the programme. The final standard includes the installation of a Link 11 tactical datalink and integration of the Raytheon Mk 46 lightweight torpedo onto the Airbus CN235M-based aircraft.

Originally four aircraft had been delivered by prime-contractor Thales in July 2012 in an initial configuration, which without the armament and datalink were capable of only operating as maritime surveillance aircraft (MSA). An additional three Meltem MSA aircraft are currently in service with the Turkish Coast Guard.
