This can be a breakthrough for the defense industry of Turkey, as the agreement opens the door to the EU and NATO market. The corresponding decision was made by the High Council of Romania National Defense (CSAT) at the end of March 2025, and provides for the purchase of one ship for the needs of the Navy.
< p >Hisar class is based on the design of ADA Corvettes (Milgem) and is intended for a wide range of tasks: intelligence, rescue operations, counter-terrorism, patrolling, sea fighting and maintaining landing operations. The length of the vessel & mdash; almost 100 meters, watertone & mdash; 2 & thinsp; 300 tons. It is equipped with a combined diesel-electric power plant, has a range of swimming up to 4 & thinsp; 500 nautical miles and crew of 104 people.~ < P > Weapons include 76 mm gun, two remote machine guns, an option for starting ATMACA anti-ship missiles, as well as the possibility of installing Hisar-O and OV air defense systems and protochic weapons. The ship is equipped with a helicopter platform and Angar for a Seahawk helicopter or drone.
< p >, despite the promptness of the decision, in Romania there were questions about the participation of the local defense industry and the lack of clear offset agreements. This has caused criticism because the country has modern facilities for the construction of warships, in particular on a shipyard in a halama that has already produced ships for other NATO members. In view of this, experts consider an agreement with Turkey as a temporary decision that can be expanded in the future under conditions of positive operation of the first ship.
< p > If the agreement is completed, it will be the first confirmed sale of the Turkish OPV to the EU and NATO state, marking a new stage in the development of Turkish military exports to Europe.
