According to Turkish Defence Turk, Turkey has started building a second Ada corvette for the Ukrainian Navy.

Here's What We Know

According to the source, metal has already been cut for the corvette. Exactly when this happened is unknown. Once the steel is cut, the formation of the ship's hull begins. Presumably, the construction of the corvette should be completed in 2024. By the way, last October the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska Olena Zelenska launched in Turkey the flagship corvette of the Ukrainian Navy "Hetman Ivan Mazepa" Ada class.
