Subject: Acquisition Request – Kılıç II-class Fast Attack Craft
Your Excellency,
On behalf of the Portuguese Republic, I extend my highest regards to the Government and People of the Republic of Türkiye. Our two nations share a deep maritime heritage, a commitment to safeguarding vital sea lanes, and a mutual interest in promoting regional and global stability. Portugal is presently implementing a comprehensive naval modernization program, with particular focus on enhancing rapid-response capacity and coastal defense. In this context, the Kılıç II-class fast attack craft, renowned for its speed, endurance, and formidable firepower, has been identified as an ideal solution to meet our operational requirements.
Accordingly, we wish to open formal discussions regarding the acquisition of six (6) Kılıç II-class vessels, and would appreciate further details on the Unit cost and total procurement price. We believe that such an acquisition would not only serve the security needs of the Portuguese Republic but also represent a valuable step towards deepening bilateral cooperation in the field of defense between our two countries.
We look forward to your esteemed reply.
Respectfully,
Luís Amado
