It must be said the build time is very impressive from the Turkish shipyards, my respect.
This means the ships will be undergoing trials quicker, paving the way for the next project between Turkey and Pakistan.

Thanks bro. The quicker one hull is finished and launched to sea, the sooner the keel of the next ship can be laid down. We're all super excited about the I-class and of course TF-2000 up in the pipeworks. :cool:

You think you're excited bro! You have no idea how much we are, after seeing the Pakistani Navy rot for the last 25 years.....
I'm looking forward to the new Turkish projects immensely, which will be the future for one line of Pakistan's vessels.

Looks like the Jinnah class is going to carry 16 HQ-16 missiles with 2 illuminating radars and 6 YJ-12 or variants of it, with OTH radar. The rest of the weaponry is either Turkish and a bit of western stuff.

The one at Istanbul is comming along nicely;

This is my wild estimate from the photos so don't quote me on this, but I think the ship is missing 2 main blocks in the satellite photo, which is probably from summer. The front upper block does not matter much but the block at the stern may easily add 10 meters to overall length. The latest normal photo at the shipyard from the previous week confirms it has I class lines instead of Ada class, and google photos date back to 2017 for this hull. So it's probably TCG Istanbul unless the plans have changed.
