Doesn't seem to be.I don't see any of those mentioned weapons on the ship. Are they not installed yet?
I thought it was at Istanbul to get them, just my assumptions. Guess I was wrongDoesn't seem to be.
But I dont get it, A 2400 ton ship, and only serious firepower is 8 missiles? What am I missing, anyone?
It obviously does not have any real Air Warfare defence capability. Perhaps possibly a MK 41 VLS 4X4 ESSM Quad Pac would be nice. They may be able to fit it somewhere on the SSM deck or possibly in between the exhaust stacks.....maybe, depending on what sort of Combat Management System the PNS Yarmook has.Doesn't seem to be.

Navy has yet to disclose the firepower on these ships and the purpose they are going to fulfill. So until we see them in some training we would not really know.Doesn't seem to be.
