The ship is armed with a 76-mm Super Rapid naval artillery mount manufactured by OTO Melara.
Ukrainian corvette Hetman Ivan Mazepa (F-211) left the Turkish shipyard RMK Marine for the first sea trials. This is confirmed by the photos published by the Turkish maritime observer en_balci on the social network H.
In the photo you can see that the ship is armed with a 76-mm Super Rapid naval artillery mount made by the Italian company OTO Melara, and on the bow of the ship the open cover of the VL MICA naval anti-aircraft missile system is visible.
Mounted above the helicopter hangar is a naval version of the Turkish Korkut 35mm anti-aircraft gun from Aselsan. Other company products on board the corvette are the 12.7mm STAMP remote control units installed on the port and starboard sides of the corvette.
In addition, the photo shows a Thales Sting EO MK2 fire control system radar, a satellite communications system from Aselsan, an ARES-2N electronic warfare system and a Mk 36 SRBOC dipole jamming system, typical of Project Ada ships.
The corvette Getman Ivan Mazepa is equipped with an ALPER tactical navigation radar, and a SMART-S MK2 3D radar is installed to detect air targets.

As we already wrote, President Vladimir Zelensky gave the name to the new corvette, which is being built in Turkey for Ukraine.
