We have no idea what kind of behind closed doors blackmail could be used to force the hand of Türkiye to make such investment.

What investment are you talking about?

I saw the news but I don't see why we would need investment for getting an export contract? At most (and worst) our shipyards would switch some production to their ships but what kind of "investment" could we get "blackmailed" into for this?

I don't understand why Americans don't build modernized version of Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates. Even Germans cancelled F126 and decided to go with new Meko A200 frigates which was originally designed in 80s. Just update machinery, sensors, weapons and use automation to decrease crew numbers .

The Meko 200 has little to do with our meko200
