Can someone please translate this
And also I got this translation from Erdôgans tweet
We launched the first of the 4 MİLGEM corvettes to be exported to Pakistan and welded the sheet metal of our first Offshore Patrol Ship.

One of the greatest gifts we will give to our nation in 2023 will be to reach the top league of the world in the defense industry.

What a beautiful ship mashallah derived from a project with our brothers.
Long may she sail., long may she defend, and Allah bless all those who guide her path in our waters.

 

[Solidify]

We need all warships vessels just to confront Indian Navy alone, forget allies.

The model that appears from 9:15 onwards in the video shows great detail of the ship. 6 x Anti-Ship missile and 12xVLS arrangements are quite clearly visible.

Looks more like Airbus Helicopters AS565MBe Panther can be the choice if Pakistan Navy isn't going for the Chinese VLS system I don't think they will station Chinese Helicopter on it... Maybe I'm wrong

Just a generic scale model of a helicopter. It doesn't look like anything (definitely not Z-9/Panther as the model has landing skids, not gears with wheels).

z9 is basically licensed copy also the anti sub suite is also copy so why introduced another supplier?

Also even z9 has various roles sar model is different than asw version internally as on the back asw hardware occupy the heli vs sar is empty ans can carry 4 stretchers

SAR version with winches

Why the subsequent ships taking longer time. shouldn't it be other way around.

Welcome new Shark in the sea.

Congratulations to Pakistan Navy. Getting the long overdue support it needs.

These ships pack more punch than Chinese frigates. I really hope we fully utilize TOT that will come with Jinnah class ships rather than sitting on their blueprints waiting for tech to be obsolete.

Sometimes a misplaced comma or difference in voice tone can change the entire meaning.
And this is what has happened.

Well, this explanation is difficult to accept and I would say probably not correct. The CNS after mentioning both Damen Ships one by one and referencing them with their tonnage (the ONLY ships he referenced with tonnage btw) said,

"As a followup...six additional ships with larger tonnage are being contracted".

I fail to see how this can be a case of misplaced comma or a case of voice tone or emphasis on something rather than other etc. etc. That's not plausible AT ALL.

If at all the Admiral made any mistake in the speech (if) then it was definitely someting more than a comma!

Plans change. His speech is no longer the fresh information.

This is much more plausible. Of course one has to accept that plans can change, either due to a new CNS having different vision or due to some other reason.
