Awesome stuff, interesting how that patrol boat and corvette are all Western/Israeli technology too, Azerbaijan looks to be getting a good deal with the Israelis.

What's the shipyard scheduled to produce? Anything larger than those corvettes? (I'm guessing they are < 10 ton displacement)

It's currently producing the fast patrol boat & OPV designs of Israel Shipyards, while the Saar S-72 is proposed.

The photos above clearly show the 23mm model.

It is based on the Zu-23 which suggests the 23 x 152mm high velocity round.

The 23mm version is mounted on the fast patrol boats, while the 30mm version will be mounted on OPVs.

In Baku was launched the third Azerbaijani border patrol ship of the Israeli project OPV 62
