Modernized Burak Class (TCG Beykoz) fires 76mm gun at the exercise.

I looked up the dictionary meaning of a corvette:
1 : a warship ranking in the old sailing navies next below a frigate.
2 : a highly maneuverable armed escort ship that is smaller than a destroyer.
3 : with its modest fuel capacity and marginal seakeeping, a corvette isn’t suitable for long-range operations.

So in reality any warship that fits in to this description (500tons to 3000tons) is a corvette by definition.
Our OPVs will be corvettes. So are our 4 dost class coast guard ships.

It depends (in the strict Naval convention in use these days) much more on endurance (point 3's expected mission parameters) than strict tonnage....to better delineate what is a corvette vs frigate. These vary a bit from navy to navy (given each country's size, territorial water, coastline, EEZ, threat profile etc are all different and impact on definitions of long, mid and short range/endurance in the planning and war gaming)

This is how one of most well-read mentors I know explained it to me some time back.

There leads to quite some overlap between corvette and frigate by tonnage alone.

Consider kamorta corvette (3300 tons) vs type 053 frigate (1700 tons) for example.

But kamorta is a corvette because its bulk derives from payload+weapons based for its planned expected mission profiles (of less range/endurance assigned to frigates in the navy).

at the end it's just names and each navy has it's own classification . for example the mekoA-300 , in germany it classified as a frigate but if you look at the picture you will see it's almost identical to the turkish tf-2000 , in fact am wondering if they actually stole the tf-2000 design . in turkey it's a destroyer but the same ship in germany it's a frigate .

Not directly Turkish Navy, but still....

Actually their designs are very different.

What's MRADSAM?

 

[Ecderha]

Is that the Deniz Han corvette?

Have look Behind the Second Mast. There is "unique" anti-sub laucher -> which is saying Turk product. As this is the source of the Fact then I am guess it is Deniz Han

 

[Turko]

What's MRADSAM

ESSM .. Front VLS has strike length while middle VLS has just defence length which is suitable for ESSM.

 

[TheInsider]

My guess is;
Medium Range Area/Air Defense Surface to Air Missile.
MRADSAM

Images from the earlier tweet is probably old, here is the latest one possibly during loading of Akya with Live warhead.

Is this normal, does sub weapons loaded like this always?

Yes it is completely normal. But not always, not necessarily.

TCG Preveze enroute to the Black-Sea.

Looks like Zargana was integrated as well, particularly note the camera-rig on the fore section aiming at the torpedo tube which Akya live warhead test unit was loaded.

Ibrahim Sunnetci has also indicated Akya so far has gone through 70 launch tests, and several others added since he had reported and more will be added in the incoming days.

STM'nin Modernize Ettiği AGOSTA 90B'den Tam İsabet

STM tarafından odernize edilen Agosta 90B Sınıfı Denizaltı PNS/M HAMZA (S-139), bir firkateyni, tek torpido atışı ile tam isabetle vurarak, batırmayı başardı.

Modernised by STM of Turkey recently, Pakistan’s submarine S-139, has hit and sunk successfully a decommissioned frigate.
That is one mean explosion! It shows the devastation a torpedo can inflict when detonated under the hull.

An answer in advance to whom might claim (or once claimed) Ada-Class having inferior sea-keeping design.

Naval colours would look beautiful.
