The cost of Turkish warships is on the agenda of the British media.

The UK-based media outlet Middle East Eye published a noteworthy analysis regarding Turkey's ongoing warship construction mobilization. The report discussed Turkey's goal of transforming its regional dominance into a global power, highlighting that there are currently a total of 31 warships either under construction or waiting in line for construction. It also pointed out that the cost of the ships is very low.

The UK-based media organization Middle East Eye highlighted in a report based on defense experts that the construction of warships in Turkish shipyards is being carried out at a significantly lower cost compared to Europe. It mentioned an estimate that the total cost of the 31 ships currently under construction is 8 billion dollars. "This means a quite reasonable cost of about 258 million dollars per ship," the statement drew attention. The report emphasized that a ship of the same class could cost 1.2 billion dollars in Europe.

TURKISH NAVY BEYOND "BLUE HOMELAND"

In its analysis, Middle East Eye stated that Turkey's maritime goals are not limited to the "Blue Homeland" concept, but it plans to establish a presence in a wide geography extending to the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The ships being constructed in this direction include strategic elements such as aircraft carriers, destroyers, and national submarines.
