True..But with the AEGIS it is not only a frigate it is a central naval platform that can coordinate a whole navy.. in any case..this is a long term project for Egypt,,it wants the advanced TOT mostly..
Both ships are magnificent marvels of engineering. It’s the diversity of advanced and state of the art class ships and vessels that make the EN a feared and versatile adversary.
AEGIS is a perfect System . But we saw how Qatar with the latest technology American weapons was helpless against the Israeli attack
You want to coordinate whole Navy with AEGIS
but in a conflict , AEGIS could turn the entire Egyptian Navy into a lame duck against Israel
also Egypt can buy superior Platform from Turkiye at the same price
------------------------------------
AEGIS is not sole System in the world
Turkish ADVENT network enabled data integrated combat management System is similar to American AEGIS
ADVENT CMS is fully integrated Tactical Data Link (Link 11/16/22, SIMPLE, JREAP and VMF) to coordinate a whole Navy ..... also Turkiye has developed its own T-LINK data link
Turkish Aselsan CAFRAD S-band long range AESA Radar complex is enough to control Eastern Mediterranean
Target detection range at full power : 750 km
TF-2000 class Destroyer offers full spectrum solution with superior fire power
1-- 96 cell VLS instead of 16 cell VLS ... ( even Turkish MIDLAS VLS will have quad pack capability in future to carry 4 HISAR-D RF SAMs in one canister )
Now 80 x mix of 40+ km HISAR-D RF and 150+ km SIPER B2 SAMs
in future , 64 x 40+ km HISAR-D RF and 64 x 150+ km SIPER B2 SAMs ... ( total of 128 SAMs )
F-110 Frigate is coming with 64 x ESSM SAMs with range of 50 km
or mix of 16 x ASTER-15/30 SAMs .... nothing else
TF-2000 class Destroyer can detect F-35 from 120+ km away and can fire 150+ km SIPER B2 SAM to hit the F-35
2 -- F-110 Frigate is coming with 8 x NSM anti-ship Missiles
TF-2000 class Destroyer offers to launch ATMACA anti-ship Missile from MIDLAS VLS ..... We can arm the TF-2000 class Destroyer with 16 x 220+ km ATMACA anti ship Missiles and 16 x 400+ km ATMACA-UM land attack Cruise Missiles ... also 800-1.000 km GEZGIN land attack Cruise Missile )
3 -- F-110 Frigate is coming without LASER Defense System , PDMS and CIWS
TF-2000 class Destroyer offers great self defense
20 x GOKSUR-100N point defense missiles with range of 11 km as like American RIM-116 RAM
also NAZAR-D LASER Electronic Warfare System and 1 x GOKDENIZ 35 mm CIWS
4 -- F-110 Frigate has anti-submarine warfare capabilities
TF-2000 class Destroyer has also anti-submarine warfare capabilities
FERSAH Hull Mounted Sonar
LFAS Low Frequency Towed Active Sonar
6 x ORKA Torpedos
also great self defense with
TORK Torpedo Countermeasure System ... ( hard-kill )
HIZIR Torpedo Countermeasure System ... ( soft-kill )
also Turkiye can offer Missile production and TOT for surface to air Missiles , Cruise and Anti-Ship Missiles
-----------------------------------
RESULT : Turkiye sold 13 Warships ( Corvette - Frigate ) to Ukraine , Romania , Turkmenistan , Pakistan , Maleysia and Indonesia
Indonesia signed the agreements with Turkiye includes comprehensive cooperation in engineering, manufacturing and technology transfer for 48 KAAN Fighter Jets ...... also 2 ISTIF class Frigates
Why not Egypt ? alliance instead of conflict brings benefits to both countries which can form the strategic depth of the partnership to rule the Eastern Mediterranean .......... and we together can minimize the problems in the region through cooperation based on a win-win concept ( Libya , Sudan , Israel , Ethiopia )
