Dr. In the panel attended by Murat Yeşiltaş and finally STM General Manager Murat Second, a statement was made regarding the final status of the Stackable Frigate.

STM General Manager Murat Second made important statements about the Stackable Frigate at the panel held. Murat Second;

“I would like to talk especially about the İ class. As you know, the class I frigate is about 15 meters long version of the MILGEM project and a platform with serious weapon systems on it. As you know, the first 4 ships of the MİLGEM project have been successfully delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces and Navy, and are now successfully performing their duties in many regions, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean. This is a very pleasing factor for our defense industry, because the MİLGEM project is a project that has emerged with the contributions of STELS, ASELSAN, Roketsan, Havelsan and many of our sub-small companies, and in terms of expressing the point where the Turkish defense industry actually came. as a good example. ”

“Our 4 ships, which are the continuation of the MİLGEM project, will no longer continue in the form of corvettes in the MİLGEM project, they will continue and be produced as a class I frigate. The construction of our ship, which is the first version of Class I, still continues under the responsibility of STM main contractor, at the Shipyard of the Naval Shipyard in Istanbul Shipyard Command with the participation of many of our companies. ”

“There's no glitch here, no delay. On the contrary, we are now making a great effort to deliver the Class I Frigate to our armed forces before the normal scheduled calendar, taking into account the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. ”

“The command control and sensor system, including the weapons systems on the point that differentiates the class I, is largely domestic. Unlike other MILGEM ships, there will be launchers that provide vertical firing, and a platform that will enable launching many air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles, especially our ATMACA missile developed nationally, will be offered to the use of the Turkish Armed Forces. In this sense, Class I frigate will be a good example of this ship in terms of technological competence in which the defense industry has developed. In order to raise this before the calendar, we continue our work together with our industry together. ”

“Our plan is that we plan to launch our Class I Frigate at the end of 2020. I hope it will be successfully delivered to our armed forces after the next equipment activities. ”
