So, who is making this STM-500 Small-Size Submarine and what timeframe?

In other words what foreign components are we using if any?

Admiral AKIN said, “As you know, the construction of the TF-2000 Air Defense Warfare Destroyer at the scheduled time is very important for the effective operation of LHD Anadolu. Design activities are carried out by our Naval Technical Command Design Project Office Directorate. There is very little time left to complete the contract level of the TF-2000 design."

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.

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.

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.

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.
The timeline of contract design packages are taking more than a year, and it has not been commenced yet.

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.

It has been stated that the TCG Istanbul (F-515) Frigate, which will be delivered in 2023, will have a 16-cell National Vertical Launch System (MIDLAS), which Roketsan continues to develop, instead of the Mk41 VLS Vertical Launch System, and both HİSAR and ESSM (Evolved SeaSparrow Missile) missiles will be used together.
