Azeri coastguard revamps fleet with Israeli help - IHS Jane's 360

IHS Jane's can confirm that an Israel Shipyards order to deliver six Shaldag Mk V patrol boats and six Saar 62 offshore patrol vessel (OPVs), an order reportedly for two separate customers, in fact came from the same customer - the Azerbaijan Coast Guard (Sahil Mühafizsin).

This development came to light following the release on 18 July 2014 of images relating to the commissioning of a new 13,000 m 2 naval shipyard, staffed by nearly 100 specialist workers, at Turkan in Baku. The images showed details of the ongoing work on the vessels.

So far the new facility - itself also believed to have been built by Israel Shipyards - has constructed two 32.65 m, 95 ton Shaldag Mk V fast attack craft (pennants S301 and S302) using kits supplied by Israel Shipyards.

I am curious why our brothers doesnt prefer to go with turkish companies but choosing israeli instead :coffee: we have pretty cool patrol vessel and FAC designs built in both composite and steel . this would enhance cooperation between us , even ToT might be considerable so azeri brothers will construct as many as need at any time.:rolleyes1:

Also Azerbaijan might have self sufficient in OPV-FAC production , no need to one israeli built shipyard. Anyway seems to be a politic decision probably handed over beside other major deal. Still pretty cool acquistion to have strong power in caspian sea :yahoo:

Azerbaijan will purchase turkish vessels soon, including Anka and Turkish helicopter Atak. We even built new shipyard to be able to build them in Baku, because so far Russia doesnt let those ships to be transfered to Caspian sea via Volga river. However, we sell most of our oil to Israel and thats the reason probably israel push us to purchase some army technologies to keep then balance. Once Turkey is ready to supply all technologies, im sure Azerbaijan will be the buyer of all those technologies. Also, new defence minister of Azerbaijan has really good relations with Turkey and he always mention it.
 
Dozens of Azeri officer cadets are graduated from TAF War Academies today. Land, Air, Naval, Gendarmerie and Medical Military Academy. .:D
