Comments:
These ships have a very similar hull and machinery and almost the same weapons as the Doğan class. But originally the Yıldız class boats had better combat control systems (TACTICOS) than the Doğan class. However, this combat management system has been retrofitted to some Doğan class boats.

Both were built in Turkey.
