In July 2018, the Pakistan Navy signed a contract with Türkiye's state-run defense firm ASFAT to acquire four MILGEM-class ships. According to the agreement, two corvettes will be built in Türkiye, and the other two will be built in Pakistan, which also involves technology transfer between the two countries.
