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.

Can't really see who it is.Bulgaria bought 2 German corvettes, Romania will sign for 4 French Gowinds (Milgem wasn't even in the tender),Finland has its own design....that leaves who else in the market for corvettes now? ....Greece? :)

Why blame Greece if they do it then?

@anmdt Because Turkey is the next country bordering Syria, because someone coming from Syria couldn't possibly be an Afghan who took a detour through a war torn country. Most of the people arriving in Europe aren't even Syrians but economic migrants who threw away their paper gambling on the...

Most of these people throw away their documents because they're not real refugees and,anyway, coming to Europe is not a right....The EU isn't a global nursing home,it has borders and real citizens to protect. The Internet is full of videos of Turkish soldiers,policemen, gendarmes forcing...

You mean this? Yes,Turkey was very civilised by beating them and herding them to cross the border... You accuse Greeks of being uncivilised? Take a good look at this video....there are plenty more out there.

Last year,those people were ferried in buses to the border by the Turkish state in a pathetic and illegal attempt to blackmail the EU.

Two days ago......This is how they respect their neighbours

NATO should stay out of this. Ukraine is a failed, Soviet style state who oppresses its minorities.On the anniversary of the 80th year since this massacre.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A2nt%C3%A2na_Alb%C4%83_massacre Ukrainian authorities had the AUDACITY to say it was committed by...

I think we should have had a thread in this section dedicated to the Greek frigate tender to include all these news, the main contenders, etc. Will a decision be made in May/June? @Foulgrim @Vag @Dante80

The crux of the matter is,will France improve its conventional capability ? As in serious number of MLRS, SPH, towed artillery, tanks, etc....Most EU countries seem to have relegated those weapons as non essential in a modern conflict.

It doesn't take rocket science to know that even today, judging by the lira's chart, Turkey shovelled a few billion $ down the drain, adding to its debts just to propp up the currency.

I got my post deleted for saying the exact same thing. Apparently, saying that Turkish policy seems dictated by Erdogan's mood on the day ,is insulting. Anyway, no serious country can have a minimal of trust with someone whose behaviour is totally erratic and unpredictable.

8.4 now, even reaching 8.45 1h ago.I wonder how many billions of $ have been wasted just to stabilise the lira at an allready ridiculous 8.1-8.3 value. Rumours circulate about the Central Bank's reserves allready being in the red

Erdogan continues his "winning streak " https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/da784c15-03b2-4d01-bf7c-c9fa79b45d51 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.teletrader.com/amp/news/details/55058494 Lira is at 8.35.

The US can still count on its global network of allies....Japan, Australia, S Koreea, Canada, EU and even India. After all said and done, to be a leader,you have to be a model to emulate and China isn't that, it will never be and that's why its best buddies are "forever autocratic,since Kievan...

These guys extort money from honest businesses to finance their activities. That can't be tolerated by any modern state.

Happy Independence Day Greece!

He's under police protection and hopefully they'll conduct an investigation.
