+4 will be optional but probably will be acquired soon as possible.Very cool design but they should add more then 2.

Thanks to @ibrahimsunnetci he first had mentioned about the contract and make us aware about it is being written in DzKK website.
Sorry but they have messed it up, TCG Ufuk is also a variation of Milgem but she has a "A" class.So let’s get this straight! These are the “OPV” ships we have been discussing here last few days. But will be produced with Milgem Corvette design parameters and specifications.
Does that mean they will be F class ships?
Or are they 2 new Milgem Corvette ships that will be produced in addition to the 2 OPV 2100 ships?
It sounds like a cock-up with savunmasanayist’s news feed!
So are these going to be CODAD propelled , weaponless OPV2100 ships? If so why bother?Sorry but they have messed it up.
The latter ships will also be an OPV and +2 is not clear, my information is that will be +4
+2 is entirely made up by people who takes some other projects as basis for optional numbers.
They will have a P code, not F (assuming and heard so, but it is TN i won't be surprised if it is an F)
Cheaper to operate in peace time, ready for weaponization in case of war.. I think it is very smart thing to do.. We need more ships for patrolling Mavi Vatan and why would you do that with ships fully armed for a war.Not really a friend of unarmed OPV's similar in size like the Ada Corvette.
We will see in near future what kind of an OPV has been requested by DzKK.So are these going to be CODAD propelled , weaponless OPV2100 ships? If so why bother?
You are saying +4 ! Does that mean planned quantity is 6 altogether?

Could be Anka+STranslation :
Two Anka (Anka S) UAV's are delivered to our Naval Forces which will expand our field of vision in the seas.
Anka+ OR Anka+ S is elusive at the time of writing.Could be Anka+S

It had been said that they’re enhanced ranged ones. How do you differentiate them?Last 2 Anka UAVs are Anka-S. Serial numbers of the last 4 UAVs delivered to naval forces were from TCB 851 to 854.

The serial number in the today shared photo is TCB 856
