Selling major military equipment like a frigate is the best thing a country can do economically . But doing it by weakening your military power projection is wrong. TCG Yavuz and TCG Fatih are already taken out of inventory and are being used as training ships. We are already down by a frigate. TCG Izmir would have brought the numbers back to our previous standing.
We need our frigate and combatant force to grow by at least 50%. Not shrink.

You send your best 4 ships, including TCG Anadolu, TCG, Istanbul and TCG Kinaliada, thousands of miles away. Then sell the two best frigates that are shortly going to join your fleet. Is this a good military move? To me that is madness. Money isn’t everything!

At this rate Mugem will not only lack any helicopter or fighter jets to take off from it but also a mission group to protect it. We are building it as a museum piece I suppose

 

[Zafer]

We should take this opportunity of high demand and upgrade our navy to higher specs with newer and larger ships. We just need more people working on them.

 

[TR_123456]

Might as well just sell all the ships except the TCG Anadolu and transfer that to Baykar for advertiment then close the Navy at this point lol

Dont worry,Baykar will build military ships next,our navy will be the best!!!

Don't worry they can use its deck for events sponsored by Baykar.

Don't worry guys soon we will have sailing version of TB2, who needs frigates when you have floating MALE drone, am I right. Time of frigates is over.

What is more hilarious is that Indonesia will be the first ones with MIDLAS Strike capabilities and Siper meanwhile the Navy will continue licking the window in front of the bakery.

And people will tell you that this is fine.

Why fast delivery,for what reason does your navy need those ships urgently?
Do you know?

The greater East Asian War, look like he hear or have info about that

Maybe we don't have money enough for EF or the purchase of Qatars EF is on the condition of selling Istif.

We do and we dont but it has nothing to do with those ships,they are financed by Qatar to ''help'' Indonesia.
And it also looks like Qatar will probably ''gift'' those EF's to Türkiye.
Every Muslim country gets financial help from the rich Arab Gulf states but the military powerful Muslim countries get more.
Proven by history.
Now that US military help is questionably most Gulf states look to other powers,Muslim powers prefered but some rather join an alliance with Israel(UAE).
See the KSA Pakistan alliance as an example,Pakistan will get new toys now with KSA finances.

"Thank God we added TCG Istanbul to the Anatolia DGG and snatched it away before it was sold. "

 

[Zafer]

If we sell the Anadolu we can make the Mugem way faster. We can probably make two at the same time, we can double down.

Looks like History is repeating itself againg.

Fatih says it's not yet clear which ships Indonesia will buy and there's nothing but the original MoU and the recent financing deal with Barzan. But adds Indonesian government is pushing for the shortest available delivery timeline.

There are lots of Istifs coming online in the next 4 years. We are expecting the last 8th ship to be delivered by 2030. I also agree that moving the Indonesian order to the second batch, at least one of them could be an acceptable workaround for both parties. That way, TN would receive 2 frigates by end of 2027 and 5 by 2030, Indonesia would get one this year and a second one by 2028-29.

My only credible source for this matter is Naval News (Tayfun Ozberk) and Defence Turkey (if they published any article). Sadly, Defence Turk and SavunmaSanayiST, and M5 lost credibility to me, along with the people attached or overseeing those.

TAIS Signs $1 Billion Frigate Agreement with Qatar's Barzan Holdings for Indonesia - Naval News

Turkish shipbuilding consortium TAIS signed an agreement with Qatar's Barzan Holdings for two frigates at the DIMDEX 2026 exhibition in Doha, valued at approximately $1 billion USD. The vessels are intended for the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL).

The trio whom i have mentioned de facto goes into defending mode whenever such news and speculations occur in wrongdoing of SSB. On the other hand Tayfun Ozberk has no organic ties (funding), affiliation or whatsoever to SSB, or MSB.

They have dones the same when it first was speculated that TCG Akhisar and Koçhisar was agreed to be acquired by Romania. This was delivered in Naval Systems Seminar earlier in 2025, while these people heard the fact that it will be sold, they came to defense as if 'nothing is concrete yet'.

What's next, Reis Class last three hulls? We shall live long enough to see.

Elections are coming up, the 'defense export' numbers should be bumped up above $10B immediately, and since we somehow managed to vacuum and wipe clean the special funds spared for projects related to SSB for the alternative channels, we also need funds for giant projects - Aircraft carrier to begin with.

USN NAVSEA delegation visited Istanbul Shipyard Command.

I don't think this ever happened before, maybe during transfer of OHPs or earlier. Interesting to say the least; but navy did show the world that it can handle so many things all at once, sharing workload between state and private shipyards at rapid succession. There are indeed things they can learn from us. I wouldn't expect a USD based deal like export of ships or technology, maybe we can see a deal for maintenance of local USN ships in the future.

Should be for maintenance as well. Remember when earlier an USN ship has gone through a mishap and been drydocked and repaired in Turkey.

This should be more of an official way to establish such a channel for further unexpected maintenance needs. Better to dry dock and transport equipment to a naval shipyard for repairs than a commercial one.

I mean since 7 are under construction, it could maybe make sense to sell one of the second batch, but selling not one but two from first batch after staff have been assigned is not nice.
