F126 is not dead but due to it being delayed by almost 5 years (original date for induction 2028) F128 is meant as a interim solution as TKMS promises a fast delivery (1. Ship in 2029).
The German F126 frigate program has not been officially cancelled, but it is "foreseeably delayed" and facing severe industrial restructuring. Plagued by chronic software and IT integration issues with the lead contractor, Dutch-based Damen Naval, the German Ministry of Defence (MoD) has initiated a major overhaul of the project
I'd like to see something official. Many Czech firms, first of which CSG did undertake many contracts as subcontractors, even as main contractors for Roketsan. It's possible that this was a reexport or something like that.
I assume you mean why and not when and its because we still have some stock and sungur is starting to replace older systems
Military sales are to Czechia probably gets funneled to Ukraine who already uses and is familiar with Igla. And we get to replace our old stocks Sungur
We never had Igla in service. 65 of anything is also probably higher than what we ever captured from PKK. Maybe coupled with what's retrieved from Syria and caught arms dealers etc.
Not necessarily for us but we bought Soviet/russian arms and gave them to Libya and Syrian rebels so maybe something like that?
We did not provide MANPADS to any non state group.
They signed a G2G contract, it's not yet clear which design will be supplied by which company. Just that it will be built in Turkey.
New contracts will come for aselsan and roketsan

PT PAL expects contract for third and fourth Red White frigates in 2026
PT PAL expects a procurement contract for Indonesia's third and fourth Red White frigates to be signed in 2026, the company's CEO Kaharuddin Djenod told Janes in a recent interview.
The follow-on vessels will retain the form factor of the first two Red White frigates but are designed to accommodate enhanced combat capabilities, Djenod said.
“It will not have more than 64 VLS [vertical launching system] cells as that's the maximum for this design,” he said. “But each of the cells and venting systems in the VLS can potentially accommodate larger missile types.”
This approach would allow the Indonesian Navy to enhance the class's overall combat effect without increasing the number of launch cells.
Indonesia's Red White frigate programme is based on Babcock's Arrowhead 140 design, although PT PAL has modified the baseline
That's still not certain. There's a rumor that the British lender financing the third and fourth Merah Putih frigates requires CAMM to be included as one of the ships' armaments. If that's true, then you can imagine what the rest of the SEWACO will be.
