Turkish Istanbul Class Frigate Sea Trials | $ 15 Billion Weapons for Poland

Turkish Istanbul Class Frigate Sea Trials

The Turkish Navy's first indigenous frigate, the TCG Istanbul, has begun sea trials. The ship is the lead ship of the Istanbul class, which is an enlarged variant of the Ada class anti-submarine corvette. The Istanbul class frigates are equipped with a variety of weapons and sensors, including a vertical launch system (VLS) for surface-to-air missiles, anti-ship missiles, and torpedoes. The ships also have a long-range radar and an electronic warfare suite.

The sea trials for the TCG Istanbul are expected to last several months. Once the trials are completed, the ship will be delivered to the Turkish Navy. The other three ships in the Istanbul class are currently under construction and are scheduled to be delivered by 2026.

$15 Billion Weapons for Poland

Poland has signed a $15 billion deal with the United States to purchase weapons, including 250 Abrams tanks, 100 Patriot air defense systems, and 500 Switchblade drones. The deal is the largest arms deal between the United States and Poland in history.

The Abrams tanks will replace Poland's aging fleet of T-72 tanks. The Patriot air defense systems will provide Poland with a much-needed upgrade to its air defenses. The Switchblade drones are small, portable drones that can be used for a variety of missions, including surveillance and attack.

The delivery of the weapons under the deal is expected to begin in 2024. The deal is a significant boost to the Polish military and will help to deter Russian aggression in the region.
