As SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis reports from Istanbulthe Turks began the sea trials of the new Turkish frigate “Istanbul”.

Ankara is building an additional three frigates in Turkish shipyards and the target is an additional three frigates in three years. 75% of the ship is of Turkish construction.

At the same time, Turkish officials emphasize that the KAAN fighter will be ready to take off at the end of 2023. However, it will be able to join the air force near 2030. So the Turks are looking to the Eurofighter to fill the gap.

Erdogan’s attack on the West for the refugee

Meanwhile, Erdoğan attacked the West for the refugee situation, saying that “the Mediterranean has become a graveyard because of the arrogant behavior of colonialists. The recent tragedy in the Aegean is the latest shameful example.”

In detail, Erdogan emphasized: “The arrogant mentality, which has its roots in colonialism, has greatly contributed to the transformation of the Mediterranean, which has been the cradle of civilizations throughout history, into a giant refugee cemetery in recent years.

Last week’s humanitarian tragedy in the Aegean, where hundreds of innocent people, mostly children, lost their lives, is the latest shameful example.”
