From IDEX in 2015: Saudi LoR did not list specific ship designs, but rather gave general guidelines. Among the highlights are:

1) Four 3,500-ton frigate-like warships, armed with vertical launch systems (VLS), capable of anti-air warfare and speeds of 35 knots

2) 12 1,150-ton corvette-like warships

3) 24 or so smaller patrol craft

In this list, Istanbul class frigate meets the requirements of 1 number for Saudi tender.

Is this sale fully fixed @Azeri440 ?

In October, the U.S. State department released a notification to Congress for a $11.25 billion foreign military sales case based on the Freedom-class.

“This acquisition will enhance the stability and maritime security in the sea areas around the Arabian Peninsula and support strategic objectives of the United States,” read the notification. “The proposed sale will provide Saudi Arabia with an increased ability to meet current and future maritime threats from enemy weapon systems. The Multi-Mission Surface Combatant ships will provide protection-in- depth for critical industrial infrastructure and for the sea lines of communication.”

However, following the initial notification, Saudi Arabia allegedly “balked at the price tag for the [four ship] package – thought to be more than $3 billion but less than $4 billion – and were unhappy with the time it would take to complete detail design of the ships, carry out systems integration, build the vessels, deliver them and install infrastructure improvements in the kingdom,” reported Defense News.
