STM started the construction activities of the second MİLGEM Corvette for Ukraine as the main contractor.
Ukraine had ordered 1+3 ADA Class corvette type warships to Turkey in 2020. The Hetman Ivan Mazepa Corvette, built in Turkey for the Ukrainian Navy under the prime contractorship of STM, was launched with a ceremony held last year.
According to the information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com from defense sources; Türkiye also exported the second MİLGEM Corvette to Ukraine. The construction activities of the second corvette started at the end of 2022. Hetman Ivan Mazepa, the first MİLGEM Corvette of the Ukrainian Navy, is expected to start sea tests next year, and the second corvette is expected to be launched in 2024.
In the ADA Class Corvette, which will be produced for Ukraine under the main contractor of STM, the Ukraine-made NEPTUN Missile was chosen as the anti-ship missile. However, the Ukrainian defense sector was heavily damaged during the war. Currently, Roketsan's ATMACA and Boeing's Harpoon Anti-Ship Missiles are being evaluated. Both missiles are in NATO standard.
