2 decades hell no. What you remember is the Yıldırım missile. It is the predecessor of Bora/Khan but Bora kept secret for a long time that is true it is not even offered for export in its limited-range Khan version not until permission is given to Roketsan so that Roketsan can market it as Khan.
Erdogan probably refused to sell those but if Kılıçdaroğlu wins we will probably deliver Khans to Ukraine.

It appears BA bought 1x regiment (18) KAPLAN MLRS along with 400x TRG-300 guided rockets for $ 60 millions only.
In the meantime countries are buying few Himars for hundreds of millions.
HIMARS is a complete launcher with different missiles, and ranges as you already know. The pricing is smooth! I would guess around 1 million per launcher, and 100k per missile.View attachment 57553

I hope, they suggest with Turkısh sensor suit to their frigate.
Instead of looking for second-hand frigates from the US, UK etc., the Ministry of Defense should have given our private shipyards the opportunity to run a secondary warship program independent of MILGEM.
Around 60-70% of major platforms of KSF are from Turkiye now. The relationship seems to get tighter and tighter everyday between Turkish and Kosovo MoD.
In other words, all of the private shipyards (moreover the subcontractors who do most of the design work) has gained the knowledge during milgem programme (which is still ongoing). Any development occuring nowadays owe it to past 20 years.
I am not sure if it will be an upgrade. The ships is old and has been inoperational for last few years. Given the time and availability of documents (How nicely Nigerian Navy archiving) this will be morelikely a life extension refit. At this stage it makes more sense to buy a new ship than upgrading all those analogue systems and cabling altogether.
