Are there any plans to leverage the 054A/P acquisition to develop a sustainable indigenous naval construction capability, perhaps in the form of a follow-up order for additional units to be constructed in Pakistan?

4th one will be constructed in Karachi... I believe the construction will start in 3rd quarter of 2020...

The guy who asked if the ship that was being assisted by pusher was for pakistan.
I proceeded by stating that no type 054a/p intended for pakistan has yet been launched, that is why no ship intended to join PN has been constructed yet.
You stating that a ship for PN is under construction, therefore, didnt offer any clarification as to what was the ship that was being moved in the water, and it only veered the perception of my statement off course when you quoted it.

Sailors doing maintenance on the VLS... Gives you a good idea of the size of the silo openings.

Looks possible. It seems they're using to on-land locations, probably same as before, with the ones for the PLAN. In my estimation, an 054A takes about 15 months to build on land, and then around a year for fitting out and sea trials. If the first one is in the water by October or so, there's time for the third one to be delivered by the end of 2021.

Now that the 054a line is winding up.. Isn't it strange to have no info about the 054b. Is it that there will be a gap in frigate production since no design has been finalised yet, or has PLAN achieved the number of frigates it requires for the time being?
