Before boasting about any new naval platforms, our navy should pressure Roketsan to integrate quad packing of hisar RF to our VLS like yesterday.

This is a good design if we remove it from Aegean. I think it's a bit big, probably won't be able to launch USVs; not much room for growth. It'd be wonderful in somewhere like Baltic. Still unsure if this was what was needed; but will be a huge upgrade over older FACs in service regardless.
Old FAC doctrine is useless so yeah these are gonna be real corvettrs cause our other corvettes are basically frigates, if we put some missiles on them.

So they seem to be leaning closer towards to ASELSAN’s solution for point defense.
I think they need to put at least 2 more 25mm (at least) guns as well, 12.7 might not be enough to deal with any kamikaze USV fast enough and 2 guns wouldn't be able to give proper coverage.

We have not 25 mm on ADA and Hisar class yet

I don't know(literally :) ) but I think that the weapon load will likely be subject to many changes throughout its lifetime, depending on the threats of that era. Navy will keep her up to date.

Or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think this is very old news.
The second ship is now in for MLU.
The program is delayed by quite a few years.
project started in 2018. TCG Oruc Reis docked in 2021. She joined the fleet in 2025.
The total project was to finish by 2025-26. But only 1 ship is upgraded so far. And we are served this as a great achievement.

Yes! What they have done with the ship is great. They turned an old hag in to a beauty. But very very slow! I think TCG Salih Reis is in the docks now.

Hopefully things learned from the first ship and will continue faster.

Not a Fan of the sponsor Oracle Reis, sounds like some of the süper lig clubs.

True but navy already ordered the systems for the last 3 ships.
