I understand your way of thinking but thats mission impossible. The state of bashar al assad is a state of failure. In fact from the time of his father hafez el assad untill now, it have been a period that only benefited israel. In fact its better for the israelis to have a scared puppet on...
I took a look but it dont have any information regarding the difference between a state project owned by SSB, and a private shipyard like dearsan. Dearsan unveiled its new 5500 ton frigate, and i was wondering if they have the capability to meet the navy requirments of the turkish navy.
Can dearsan meet the navy requiments? This could be the middle gap i was talking about that could be betweeen the 2400 ton ada class and 8500 ton tf-2000. Iknow that dearsan did not have this project set up so they could not make a bid in the tender of the i-class.
The first phase of the undersea pipes that will transport the gas from Sakarya Gas Field, Turkey's largest natural gas discovery, to land has been brought to Filyos Port in Zonguldak. Pipes brought to the port make up 20 percent of the planned 170-kilometer pipeline.
700-800 million for a 3 000 ton frigate? Pakistan got 4 corvettes for 1.5 billion, so 375 dollar each ship. I-class will probably be around 400 million pricetag.
Others on the forum mentioned that the reason is because the americans are holding the money that turkey gave them, so to get their money back they make the us upgrade them instead of using own resources.
