Turkish defence products selling like hot bread nowadays.

I don't like this kind of reporting. While we would expect the next two corvettes being Adas due to commonality, due to budgeting, financing and other reasons they very well maybe from other builders as well. There's nothing certain if the two possible future ships will be Turkish built or designed.

However, Ukraine did originally wanted to order up to 4 ships. First would be built in Turkey and fitted in Ukraine, and others would be built in Ukraine after the Mykolaiv shipyards were to be renovated by STM.

Pointless if the war doesn't end, so I guess they are sure it is about to end, and want to use their yet ongoing stream of financial support for weapons to lay foundations of a navy they have to rebuild. 4 Ada class, more usvs and some small submarines would provide them some safety and defense against remaining black sea fleet. But in the case of a ceasefire or truce, will russian ships be allowed to enter black sea?

That depends on MFA's view on the agreed upon deal if and when it happens.

"Gökhan Uçar, Vice President of SSB:
We are currently discussing a very big project with Spain. They want to participate in a very big project of ours.
Serbia also wants to participate in a very big project of ours.
The British want to work with us a lot."

These don't mean anything by itself, but the Spanish claim there is interesting. Could be the Hürjet, or the MUGEM? Hürjet is what directly comes to mind and we know from the Spanish sources they want to have a direct hand in it, at least putting in their own stuff if they are going to buy it, which would require participation into the project. Aircraft carrier is one other possibility and there are no claims for it exists but mine, but, they have been talking about a sibling to Juan Carlos I for more than a decade now. They were unable to fund it due to budgetary reasons in the past. A joint development would lower the cost of the program for us immensely.

some Spanish companies have long been TAI suppliers for some relevant components.
