You have understood it right and that is the farthest clue i can give till 21st.
They can not bid, since they don't have a facility security license by SSB.Ada?
They are old, probably cheap.. but not bad ships, very capable, fast additions for urgent needs, gap filler? more delays to i class? Also lets not forget MEKOs are going through upgrades, apparently back up solutions already needed as i class is not ready yet. NiceTurkiye buying frigates from UK?

Uh-huh! My friends told me not to play your gameAny information from friends?
One more hint as the date closes in; the winner starts and ends with the same letter of the alphabet.
Still surprised the twitter guys havent found out it... even subcontractors in the shipbuilding industry have heard.
I went through some shipyards in Turkey.You have understood it right and that is the farthest clue i can give till 21st.
Maybe he counts the i at the end of tersanesi? Would that be a valid oneI went through some shipyards in Turkey.
It seems it's only Ada Shipyard which starts and ends with the same leter.
They also have naval ships designs but it seem to be unlikely to give them this project where as some other shipyards has more experience with naval shipbuilding.
Yes makes sense maybe Istanbul TershanesiMaybe he counts the i at the end of tersanesi? Would that be a valid one
Regardless of the language (in Turkish or English) my condition applies. So, not Istanbul Shipyard (Also they are officially referred as Istanbul Denizcilik)Maybe he counts the i at the end of tersanesi? Would that be a valid one
There is clear information on this, as well.Today, there is no clear information about the construction and delivery schedule of the ships.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I’ll take your word and wait until 21st
"STM-TAIS"There is clear information on this, as well.
When i wrote this (20 Oct), far before than SSIK, STM-TAIS visited each other to discuss partnership being enforced by SSB, the decision was in fact made before SSIK.I should further add, the selected primary contractor also indicates which shipyard will be building the first hull, which is labeled as prototype. As in TTHB project ,which STM is conducting, the design phase will be completed by primary contractor and then moved onto the prototype construction. Following a progress in the construction then serial production tender will be held for 3 additional hulls.
Yes, it is either TAIS or STM at this point. However, STM may also work with one or two shipyards from the TAIS concortium. Based on security licenses there are few shipyards who can build the military vessels; Desan (now part of Ada), RMK, TAIS members, Dearsan, Istanbul Shipyard - (unsure about Ozata) - . RMK is booked with Ukranian Ada Class orders, Dearsan has got Nigerian OPV project in short term which leaves us with Istanbul Shipyard (TCG Ufuk) and Desan (LDG) + Possibly ADIK.
I am more in favor of STM getting the deal and sharing it to TAIS members, win-win in many ways. However STM is not quite good on terms with one of the TAIS members.
"TAIS or/and STM", i have given three options, one is "and" and only one fits to earlier hint.Private Shipyards to build MİLGEM
The Defence Industry Executive Committee, held in December, decided to start the project of the 6th, 7th and 8th ships within the framework of MİLGEM. Details of this program are beginning to become clear. The first time the private shipyard will be in the MİLGEM project.turdef.com
No need to make it seem mysterious, ASFAT was not a bidder in I-Class 2-3-4 construction thus military shipyards are already out of the scope.
And there are three options;
TAIS or/and STM gets the project. Pick the wise one.
ASFAT is the main contractor of TF2000, Kuasar Marin is likely the design - engineering services sub-major-contractor assigned by ASFAT.At this stage only one shipyard ,who is not oriented for profits, may bear the financial and time risks of building a prototype; Pendik Naval Shipyard (ITK), that leaves us with the question of who will be the primary contractor for design and prototype construction; STM or ASFAT? . STM was contractor of Ada and I Class, as well as TTHB but recent trends show that MoD - DzKK in favor of ASFAT as contractor (for example OPV). So, anyone who is making a comment has 50-50 chance .
TF2000's model scale experiments have been commenced and being conducted at Istanbul Technical University, both in towing tank and newly introduced ITU-KAT cavitation tunnel.
Is it confidential info? If not is there any expected time for start of the construction?There is clear information on this, as well.
