The Turkish shipyard does not stop the construction of the warship ordered by the AFU, despite the unclear prospects of its transfer to the customer.
The work is being carried out by RMK Marine (specializing in the construction of yachts) as part of the contract concluded in 2020. According to it, the Kiev regime should receive one ADA-class corvette with a possible order for three more ships of the same type.
Actually, only the hull should be built at the facilities in Turkey, after which it was supposed to be equipped with combat systems at the Okean shipyard in Nikolaev.
The ship was laid down in September 2021, completion works (scheduled for 2022) and sea trials (2023) should be carried out on the territory of Ukraine.
- it is noted in the Turkish edition of SavunmaSanayiST.

The main caliber of the corvette was to be an anti-ship missile system "Neptune" of Ukrainian design.
- it is indicated in the publication with reference to the Navy, while it is even unclear how to at least turn the ship into a running unit, let alone a combat one.
Against this background, Turkish users have already voiced their vision of the fate of the corvette – in case of non-fulfillment of the terms of the agreement, it is proposed to confiscate it and use it for the needs of their own fleet.
