With completion of program (2016-17), TF-2000 frigates will be able to counter coming ballistic missiles, aircrafts, cruise missiles and many other s from long ranges. Coverage area of CAFRAD would be similar to the image presented under.

Hey @Neptune how much do one of these cost ?

The TF-2000 project aims to
provide the Turkish Naval Forces
with up to six frigates at an
estimated cost of between $.6
billion and $3 billion, with entry
into service planned from around
the end of the decade. The locally
built frigate design, expected to
displace more than 6,000 tonnes,
will have a strong anti-air
warfare bias centred on a
multifunction radar and a
medium-range area air-defence
missile system.
The SSM was unable to progress
the program to the next stage
until the Turkish Naval Forces
completed an assessment of
which version of Raytheon's
Standard Missile would be most
suitable for the new frigate. This
assessment has now been
concluded, with the navy opting
to continue with the SM-2.
Due to the large scope of the
program, a decision has been
made to split it into three
phases, beginning with a
design phase, followed by
construction of a prototype
ship, and then finally serial
production.

....................

Yara, according to that statement, each ship will cost about 1 billion USD. But the price may will likely change. Because DzKK is still shy on some armements like wheater which missile will be used on air-defence. The price's concluded as SM-2 while the Navy is still in talks with Raeython's SM-3 and France/Italy's Aster.
