Thanks for the pics. I appreciate more and more countries going indifenious these days with their weapon systems- You never know if and when you're on the receiving end of an embargo and moreover you're more of a pushover if you're dependent on outsourced military hardware.
With Turkish growth rates and development, I'd head the same direction. Congrats to the new ships.
Thanks my friend.![]()

It is very impressive what Turkey has achieved especially in the naval technology. A fast growing defence industry indeed!
Really like the look of those .50cals
