I'm jealous and envying Türkmenistan Navy's corvettes and YTKBs.
Turkmenistan has modernized two tarantul class FAC, one is commissioned, another going fitting in the new shipyard, where C92 corvette was constructed.
The contractor is Dearsan, Russian-origin FACs are undergoing MLU and receiving western origin weapons, sensors and software (as far as it is seen by the satellite images on 6th June, and earlier open-source collected on certain shipments, open-job positions, orders made on certain systems).
Possible configuration of vessels are possibly replacement of Russian AShM with Otomat MkII, replacement of the main gun with Italian Leonardo 76/62 SR. Unclear what will be the source of CMS, main search radar, CIWS, etc.
