Re: China Got A New Ship For Pakistan
I sure hope that Pakistan Navy carves out enough funds, aside from funding for Missile Destroyers and Frigates, for the PNS Azmat Class boats. Ideally, at least 12 would serve well with Pakistan Navy, considering it has a 1046 Kilometer (650 mile) Coastline. Plus 12 of these Missile Boats would go well in augmenting a prospective expansion of Pakistan Navy's surface fleet.

Re: China Got A New Ship For Pakistan
lets not forget the 2 x Jalalat II Class, 2 x FAC (Jurrat and Quwwat), 2 x MRTP-33 (Zarrar and Karrar) and these 2 stealth FAC
Pakistan is also been looking at more Turkish FAC designs, but yes i do agree that we should make more of these ships at Karachi dockyard, they are the most capable we will ever get in terms of FAC
PN should be frigates, missile boats/FAC equipped with anti-ship missiles

Re: China Got A New Ship For Pakistan
Looks like she has ak630 for self defence against air threats. If it can also engage surface threats then maybe that's why the main gun is changed to 75mm.
Do you think it would be better if the ak630 is replaced with a 8 cell RAM? Also she carries 8 AshM so her firepower along with main gun seems even better than the type 022.

Re: China Got A New Ship For Pakistan
we have seen those before, the black marks on the side of the ship, which looks like its casued by black smoke, i wonder what that is>
---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------
originally it was said that it would have twin 25mm gun mount but 76mm is much better opition in this case
gun mount on the rear is a Chinese stealthier version of the AK-630, radar guided 30mm gatling gun, its a very high rate of fire and can be used against fast aircraft and helicopters and for incoming missiles
having missiles defeats the purpose of this ship, this gun is enough for its purpose, in war time it will be working with other ships and under air cover and it can also carry MANPADS
overall the weapons package is impressive on this ship

Re: China Got A New Ship For Pakistan
PNS Saif the 3rd frigate is commissioned and PNS Aslat the 4th one is due to be commissioned this year or early next
worth noting that China launched 3 x F22P within almost 12 months, no foreign country could deliver 3 frigates so fast in such short time
good thing with China is, as soon as deal is signed the item is in service within breakneck speed, fullfilling the urgent requirment, just look how long it took US to re-fit USS McInerney for PN!!

bro, the point to note is that its a translation of Jang news, who routinely mistake ships for frighters jets, lets wait and see if anything offical comes of it, BUT it would be awesome news if PN make 4 more F22Ps, giving us a total of 8 x F22P frigates
Admiral Noman Bashir said that the new ships will be more advanced than the current F22Ps, upgraded F22P will be close to Type 054A, Pakistan Navy is discussing with Chinese counterparts the future upgrade programme, it could be called the rumoured F23P programme
