Türkiye's First Homegrown Ship: The New Istanbul-class Frigate

The first of Turkey's Istanbul-class guided missile frigates recently completed a missile test firing from the MIDLAS vertical launch system, just two months into its sea trials.
As Turkey’s very first domestically-produced frigate, the Istanbul-class stands as a testament to the nation's growing self-reliance in shipbuilding and military production in general.
In today's video, we're exploring the Istanbul-class frigates, examining their design, capabilities, and significance.

Turkiye builts everything they need. Good attitude, especially when your friends behave like future backstabbers. (I hear the voice of the narrator everywhere. He now must be a billionare.)

Who can deny her beauty and mightness. Watching her fills happiness our souls. Blowing hard winds muttering her departure from "payitaht" (Istanbul). Dark blue high seas waiting her. Sailors aware of their "Kapudan Paşa" (navy commander) at the bridge. Reminding the old good days. Thanks Allah we are there again...

Ideal for ops in the Black sea.

There is wrong information. mk41 is not used. Midlas are used.

[@defencecentral]

We highlight that in the video - we mention the initial plan to use the Mk-41 VLS, but also clarify that due to sanctions imposed by the US government in December 2020, the Istanbul-class frigates now feature the domestically produced MIDLAS Vertical Launch System developed by Roketsan.

Its beats per minute are quicker, faster than super rapid. I don't think they are licensed because this nose ball was produced due to the Italian embargo.

American copied, must likely approved.
