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.

There is no official statements yet we better wait and see ...
Turkiye needs them since is sorrouded by wars and opponents and majority of our frigates gabya and yavuz classes are old while indonesia can wait 2-3 years

Would need redesign and not likely if such a thing were to happen it would need to happen on a new model witch is longer. The only other option would be to replace some of the ashm with a midlas but I don’t know the structural details would also look weird. You could maybe do it like the Malaysian ada version but that’s unlikely too.View attachment 77034
Does I-Class have empty space for additional MIDLAS?
Would it be possible to fit second MIDLAS?

Or such configuration with additional frontal CIWS? MIDLAS could be moved forward?
Or it is too late??

For upper place I have different plans
In front of ATMACAs, I'd put compact VLS for UMTAS and for rocket assisted very light torpedos.o

To be honest, I would like to add Frontal CIWS. So I wonder if , moving forward MIDLAS and adding Gökdeniz , were technically possible?
