Statement from the Ministry of National Defense Regarding the Allegation of Ship Sales to Indonesia

ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS OF SHIP SALES

Sources who also made a statement regarding the allegation of ship sales to Indonesia stated that construction of 39 ships is currently ongoing simultaneously in shipyards, adding: “This situation is a concrete indicator of our country’s determination to develop and renew its naval power with domestic and national platforms. At the DIMDEX-2026 fair held in Qatar, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between TAIS Shipyards and Qatar-based Barzan Holdings covering the construction of two Istif-class frigates. The memorandum, which includes the procurement of Turkish naval systems for Qatar and third countries, is not a finalized agreement and does not contain any provisions regarding the construction and delivery schedule of the ships.”

The sources also added that the allegations in the press do not reflect the truth.

I suppose it is a "yes" or "no" question of which officials avoid answering.

It is not a recent matter, TAIS and SSB has been negotiating for the sale, for a whole year.

Besides that, ASFAT, a MSB subsidiary has sold Akhisar, and processing the sale of Koçhisar OPV as well.

Then come clean and say outright that the 7 ships allocated for Turkish navy will NOT be sold; in stead of beating around the bush.
No one believes them after the way they sold TCG Akhisar to Romania.

Not just Akhisar, obviously Koçhisar is about to be sold after completion of the trials and acceptance.

Just forget it,they'll sell them in silence.
They'll find ways to make us forget and move on.
Probably by commisioning the next two earlier then planned with the excuse that we have three Istif class in service already.

It is sold, mate. It has been a year or more so the talks between TAIS - SSB and Indonesia have been going on (also with Qatar, recently). TAIS even brought the scaled model of the aforementioned hulls, specifically, to display at the fair.

MSB isn't even in that cycle, they are literally "cc"'ed.
