Poland, they are in need of something like Milgem.
You could be right, I think the Istanbul class is more appropriate as they're in the market for 3 frigates. I know that the I class is a continuation of the Milgem project. The only official offer Poland received so for is from Fincantieri and their PPA.

If i remember correctly they had 2 projects, one of them was miecznik programme to acquire corvette later evolved in frigate (still seems unsure on there) another is gawron class corvette which planned as 6, but only one built and then converted to a patrol vessel when the costs has exceeded the budget.
Been many years i didn't check these projects.

Apparently the Gawron is abandoned and the frigate programme is the top priority for the navy, superseding even the submarine programme, with a decision to be taken this year.

Europe is not only Bulgaria, Romania ( second hand countries ) and Finland.

When comes to Turkiye products from recent decade lots of media analyzed in details and wrote a lot about them. Those products are matching or have exceed characteristics against world competitors.

So countries like UK, Norway are interested from those products (I am not talking about only navy).

From history of you post when it is related about Turkiye products you always behave like they are bad choose.
But jealous is the path of anger and hate and will not change people mind which trying to follow reality and facts.

It was only natural to list countries that were in the market for such ships.....but if you are truly convinced that the UK is looking for Turkish corvettes( or any corvettes ), best of luck to you

It is constructed in a way that it is easily transportable and tough enough to provide protection against different threats. In the base EOD trained dogs are present and the base is encircled by cement obstruction blocks in different sizes providing protection against VBIEDs.

On the entry of the base there are tough prefab cement made control point positions enhanced with a ballistic glass and fire openings.
