The question is who is buying that? That will govern the whom is constructing.So, who is making this STM-500 Small-Size Submarine and what timeframe?
There is one more T-LHD (TCG Anadolu - like ship) beyond the 2025 column. That would be the Drone Carrier (MIUS) and light AC (Hurjet-N).
Also looks like AKDG (T-OPV) will be delivered pretty fast and will reach some numbers by 2025.
I am still skeptical about the 2027 (seems very hard but would be pleased if happens) but i am sure the construction will start by mid or Q3-Q4 of the 2023.By the way, bro if the tf2000 design can be finished in 2022 and production can be started like 2023-2024, the first delivery will reach 2027.
Actually I am more interested in what components we will be using that are imported and if it can be made totally in Turkey. Looking at the specs it may very well be totally Turkish made I guess.The question is who is buying that? That will govern the whom is constructing.
If the customer is Turkish Navy then no doubts, it will be made in Golcuk or Pendik.
If the customer is Pakistan, considering STM's latest choice it might be RMK Marine.
If the customer is someone (Qatar) else and TAIS hooked the deal, it will be ADIK.
