Milgem and Daersan Corvette Project have also been proposed for Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan took interest in Milgem pretty seriously, and also considered building a shipyard for the navy, but that was a couple years ago.

but in the end we don't know, Navy has many requirements for many type of ships, including submarines and even naval aviation, I suspect Navy will even go for frigates for land attack capability.

The event at SBS where president Ilham Aliyev was also participating several weapon systems, optic systems, border observation equipment were demonstrated.

At the video of State Television it can be seen that SBS has weapon systems that several other countries don’t have.

Any specs on Daersan corvette design? It looks heavily armed

 

[Azeri440]

Any specs on Daersan corvette design? It looks heavily armed

it packs more firepower than Milgem and same sensors in a much smaller size, no official specs, but I can figure it out

SMART-S Mk2 3D radar and ARES-2N EW antennas

Main Gun - Oto Melara 76/62C
Secondary - 2 x 12.7 mm STAMP Remote Controlled Stabilized Machine Gun System
16 SVLS capable of launching Aster 15s and Aster 30s
Exocet mm40 block 3

can't figure out the torpedo countermeasure system located behind the main gun and also the CIWS
