Didn't they already close a deal for a bunch of very expensive American ships a couple months ago?
And I thought the Saudi's were having financial issues?

Saudi Navy has lot of old Ships which have to be replaced soon. I think they would buy these Ships

@Zarvan
There is no Muslim country except Turkey which has a effective SUB-FORCE.
Am I wrong ???

Algeria and Pakistan also has good Submarine Force. Pakistan will soon increase its Submarine Force by adding 8 new Submarines. Egypt is buying 4 new ones and also Indonesia and Malaysia have small submarine force, but yes Turkey has largest and strongest submarine force in Muslim world.

Saudi got totally ripped off by the French for the FFG programme

All that money could have gone into a indigenous programme

Next best thing is to buy from Turkey, now all Arab country's with $$$ should buy naval platforms from Turkey

The standard is high the quality is second to none and it's NATO standard

Why then Saudi will not buy ?

I am sure now many Arabs will buy from Turkey naval platforms

Very good for all party's

How is it that you could become a Think Tank with only 155 messages posted on this forum so far? Are your post that high of quality? Those are the real questions that need to be asked

 

[aziqbal]

Think tank not because of this forum but because of who I am

You think the Saudi's dont know the situation in Turkiye regarding the Milgem project?
In 2008 the first one was launched(do the math).
We should have had 6 Milgem corvettes(out of the 12) by now and two more laid down but our president personaly took the tender away from the one(RMK Marine) who won it.
The Arabs dont trust Erdogan(like myself) and thats the only reason why they are hesitant to buy.

Erdogan definitely had a big hand in the delay for sure.
But weren't there also big changes made in the last couple years? Like more ADA frigates, new design TF100 frigattes added and also the TF2000 design and numbers.

Those changes had no influence on the design or construction of the first 8 Ada class.,the TF100 is called I-class now.
Tf-2000 is in development fase,so nothing to do with the ADA class.
