Milgem is the proud of the Turks. I'll my self was very impress with the design. At glance it looks like LCS-1 USS Freedom.
Miglem is build to enhance the navy littoral warfare capabilty.
Basically the are two type of Milgem, which are design for corvet and frigate. The diplacement for corvet is 2000 tonnes( ADA class) and for frigate(TF100) is more heavier since the ship will be equiped with a few type of missiles. Soon once the frigate design been tested, it will determine the new design of frigate and will be known as TF2000.
On the 6th of April 2011, Indonesia and Turkey signed Cooperation Agreement on Defense Industry including the construction of 2 MILGEM class corvettes to the Indonesian Navy.

Sigma Class
This corvet class also proven its design. I guess this why Indonesia Navy choose its future frigate in Sigma variant 10514.
Now Indonesia is operating 4 Sigma 9113 in service.
Displacement: 1692 tons
Length: 90.71 meters
