Erdoğan hails Türkiye’s first warship delivery to NATO, EU member
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has hailed Türkiye’s delivery of a corvette to Romania as the country’s first warship export to a NATO and European Union member state.
Speaking at a ceremony at Istanbul Shipyard Command, Erdoğan said the delivery of the Contraamiral Roman corvette to the Romanian Naval Forces marked a new stage in Türkiye’s defense industry and its cooperation with Romania.
The ceremony also saw the TCG Koçhisar offshore patrol vessel enter service with the Turkish Naval Forces.
“We are in the middle of an extremely chaotic period in which those who are not strong in the field may even find themselves on the menu,” Erdoğan said.
