Dearsan is expanding the team in Turkmenistan.

"Job oppurtinity available for two positions, underwater systems expert (sonar and torpedo counter-measure systems) to aid subcontractor and radar/ED/ET systems expert to aid the subcontractor for full time deployment in Turkmenistan"

Also Turkish Lloyd had made it obvious the 2nd Turkmen Class corvette is on the way:
Turkish Lloyd had a post in facebook referring to "first of the Turkmen Class corvettes are delivered in Turkmenistan"

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.

Unsure if the footage is recent, but looks like the modernization didn't take place and it was merely a maintenance-repair job. I have mistaken certain systems from afar.

A new frigate (?) design was spotted in Deniz Han Corvette, it was told by the officer, who escorts the president in the ship (likely captain or fleet admiral) that the frigate is to be future member of the fleet. The length suggests 130-140 meters in LOA, could be earlier iterations of the frigate that later evolved, in favor of Dearsan's F142. This design,however, may not be affiliated with Dearsan, since it holds resemblance to Hyundai's frigate design with two-island structure, weapon placement,mast structure and utilization, RHIB on sides of exhaust and separate angled Gas turbine exhaust-air intake.

On September 27, a military parade and celebratory procession took place in Ashgabat to mark the 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence. Units representing all branches of the armed forces marched in the parade, while the ground component featured a display of armored vehicles, as well as missile and artillery systems. Notably, Turkmenistan's armed forces have begun utilizing Chinese military hardware; the country has already acquired Chinese FM-90 short-range, KS-1A medium-range, and FD-2000 medium- to long-range air defense systems. Military equipment manufactured in Russia, Turkey, and other countries was also showcased at the parade in Ashgabat.
