P-1220 should be farther on right of the video getting ready for the first sea trial, and the one in the dock should be 2nd ship (3rd of the overall program) of Pakistani Navy being constructed here at Naval Shipyard. The image is low in quality but i seem to notice it has an ESM module on top of the mast that is available on PNS Khaibar, not in any of Hisar Class. Or alternatively could be one of the the Ada-Class going through maintenance.
Wasn't Khaibar launched in 2022? I remember seeing her much more "ready" than this. Bridge design also looks like Istif. But also true that 3 Istifs shouldn't be here as they are built by TAIS. Could it be the 5th Istif perchance
It was launched but the ships visit drydock regularly for fitting out, the last one is more of an inspection before sailing so i took it for the one.Wasn't Khaibar launched in 2022?

Isn't TCG Akar still in service? Maybe A581 to replace the old Çınar's number.
True true, all 7 are to be built private. Can't be the F-516 from Anadolu as well, first block was delivered in november 23, probably outline is just now becoming visible.It was launched but the ships visit drydock regularly for fitting out, the last one is more of an inspection before sailing so i took it for the one.
It is impossible to see 6th ship (Izmit) there, i think it will be fitted out in the shipyard it is being constructed (Should be Anadolu, and i think they have a Dry Dock, if no they will utilize Sedef's, or as a last resort, benefitting from Naval Shipyard like others). While Ukranian Milgem has visited Naval Shipyard for fitting out at least once. Could also be first ship of Ukranian Milgem but again doubting because i have just seen it in RMK.
She could have got A-579/7 both owned by training ships. This indicates Navy is planning further and real training ships too. A-576 is a strange choice, could they have repurposed some old lifebuoys from the warehouse?
F-516 and rest will be built, erected and launched by private shipyards and fitted out in shipyards whom responsible for the process, so even if they visit Naval Shipyard it will merely be for drydocking but i highly doubt this*. Since they have little experience on dry docking process of combatants (the sonar dome makes it hell and requires special set of supports). As far as i know Anadolu shipyard has no dry dock, so they are going to need a dry dock during installation of some wet-end systems.
Literally more subclasses than any other contemporary. Ufuk needs siblings
This is from his members only section couple months ago so some of the info is already outdated.
This is pretty good content. I learned things about I-class that I didn't know before. I didn't understand why he said this ship is not built for anti-submarine warfare, though. That is obviously not the reason for existence of this ship, but he reached that conclusion after saying active sonar was pretty good.
Marine/Amphibious Corps will have 3 brigades:
