I know Yonca-Onuk can reach 76.4 knots. If Ares could do 50-60 knots as well that would be something in the Aegean.4 unmanned target having smaller RCS than a SIGMA and having potential to reach the speeds of 50-60kts If It is requested.

They reduced number of engines from 2 to 1, and speed has changed from 45+ to 35+, (speaking for 11 meters version)I know Yonca-Onuk can reach 76.4 knots. If Ares could do 50-60 knots as well that would be something in the Aegean.
But a frigate has multiple tasks and equipment for those task. The Ulaq doesn't because of the size restrictions. Or am I misunderstanding you?Expanding on Mr Cabatli’s message;
If you have say 4 basic models of Ulaq that constitutes a full fledged frigate‘s job description. Then you can have multiples of these ; and if one single unit is shot there is always another one of the same to take it’s place. So your “sigma” set up stays intact.
A little bit. I am expanding on Mr Cabatli’s message. What I am saying is with 4 or 5 individual units performing some of the tasks of a frigate , even if 1 Ulaq is shot, there will always be another one to take it’s place. Hence keeping the team intact. Yet if a frigate is shot. It is out of commission altogether.But a frigate has multiple tasks and equipment for those task.

Reload the 1st picture pleaseNot sure exactly what type of E/O is on top of this one - but likely has an IRST functionality.
