The HQ10 look like a 16 round launcher, not much of an upgrade. Was expecting a 24 round for a ship of this tonnage.

Think the HQ-10 also replaced the two dual 37mm in front of the bridge as they are gone too.

Pakistan Navy ought expand its surface and sub-surface fleet. No justification required.
However, since you asked, I got four letters for you C.P.E.C!!!

Problem is, Stockholm International Peace Research Institution shows Pakistan averaged 3.3% GDP for defense in the last decade, while its neighbors spent less of the GDP on defense. India averaged 2.5% GDP, Afghanistan 1.2%, Bangladesh 1.2%, Thailand 1.5% and Iran 2.9%. So the question is why Pakistan spends so much more on defense, when its economy isn't in good shape?
I think maybe we shouldn't assume the HQ10 has no reload rounds. It's possible that spare rounds are stored in recessed deck storage boxes or elsewhere for manual reload.
