054/A FFG Thread II

[FriedRiceNSpice]

Been wondering so anyone care to confirm this, please: does this 054AP deal cover helicopters or NOT?
-- as asif iqbal must be so concerned... (all right, I'm joking. Just can NOT resist it. )

Since we didn't hear anything, should be NO (like F22P). In that case, any clue what chopper Pakistan may put on it (054AP)?

Unfortunately the deal also doesn't include LCAs to launch from the frigates.

Midlife repair or more substantial upgrade?

As 525 is one of the two original 054, it should be a total refit I would think.

I am surprised ... would it better to just sell it to i.e Bangladesh or Cambodia and build a brand new one

Ah, I see, thank you. I assume it is being upgraded to the 054A level, not an entirely new specification.

Type 054AP is moving along nicely

maybe after Pakistans order is done China can move to next generation FFG ?

Next gen frigate should ditch the canister launchers and go strictly VLS like Admiral Gorshkov class.

Quad pack VLS for ESSM like missiles would also be ideal for the fleet too.
