The first corvette for the Navy of Ukraine was launched at the military shipyard in Istanbul

 

In Turkey on October 2, the first corvette Ada for the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was launched.

In Istanbul, the launching ceremony of the first Ada MILGEM corvette, which is being built to the order of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, took place at the Istanbul Naval Shipyard.

The commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vice Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa, took part in the launching ceremony of the warship named "Hetman Ivan Mazepa".

"The event, which is extremely important for Ukraine and its Naval Forces, once again proves that in the conditions of a decisive war for our independence and territorial integrity, we have a great friend - the Republic of Turkey. Our cooperation receives another dimension - a corvette that will soon defend Ukraine, free shipping, which is definitely a common goal of our countries," Neizhpapa emphasized.

It should be recalled that in July of last year, within the framework of bilateral military cooperation, Ukraine received from Turkey an updated version of the Bayraktar TV2 reconnaissance and strike unmanned complex with an increased range for the national fleet, and already in September the keel of the future corvette was laid.
