Ismail Demir, President of Turkish Defence Industries Presidency, gave an interview about the issue: “Our Turkish Type FAC Project, for which a Design Contract has been signed between our Presidency and STM, will strengthen our navy. Turkish Type FACs will contribute to the protection of our interests in our maritime jurisdiction with their effective manoeuvrability, high strike power and national systems they will carry.”

A basic design design design called "FAC55" has already been made by STM, which is the main project contractor, and the Turkish Type FAC is expected to be built on the basis of this design. The design was carried out in accordance with the mission of establishing and retaining sea control in the Turkish Naval Forces' operational areas.
