Unfortunately, SSB sold İstif-class frigates İzmir (F-516) and İçel (F-518) to Indonesia. The Navy will only receive İzmir (F-517). In my opinion, we should have promptly taken delivery of the first four frigates for the Turkish Navy, and we should have allocated two frigates from the second batch to Indonesia. I don't know what the rush is? Indonesia could have waited for two years, but we urgently need those frigates.
This is indeed unacceptable and unbelievable. Indonesia should have obtained the two after our two batches. It seems they don't view a naval war likely with Greece under Trump. Still, I don't understand many things they are doing. I thought at least Navy's decisions were good, but was proven wrong it appears.

Guys look at the new design and such a great strike capacity for 120 meter ship.
Are there some lessons for us? First I see double frontal and rear point defense systems . (2x Gökdeniz and Levent )

Also at front and both sides two balconies:) for surface and ASW threats. You could put there 3X 30mm VENOM with ATGMS.
Also new trends is strait bow design, I'd like to know advantages of strait bow design. Why do Turkish shipyards construct frigates like Ford transit Vans:)

As far as I know, the Navy blocked that deal, informing defense industry authorities that the Navy urgently needs those frigates. Indonesia is offered frigates from the second batch.

Why not just build new would probably take less than 3 years and till istif is fully armed with quadpack and siper will be at least 2 years
