IMHO 2 follow on orders of Type 54 X (Yes it is still to be sub classified -- maybe around 2023), no more modified Milgem (Might eventually be known as Jinnah Class Flight 1 because it is not the standard Milgem) after the four ordered. The Jinnah Class will be a heavier version of modified...

RIP. A great proponent of PAF and its pilots.

Was referring to proposed Type 54 X .... not been given sub classification as yet.

Sir Type 54 definitely but Milgem will be taken over by Jinnah class boats of which 4 will be produced. Lots of common component will be between both classes. The Sensor suit, Combat Management, Armament (Except for SAM) and propulsion systems will be, to a large extent, common. I believe only...

What is going to happen: 2 more Yarmook class to be ordered 4 Jinnah Class to be produced 2 more Follow on orders for Type 54C or D to be placed 8 More FAC of modified Azmat class 10 more MRTP 33 2 more Fleet replenishment Ships to be ordered 3 Remaining Type 21 frigates will be retired 1...

I don't know what is Wah and HIT doing. PRoducing an MRAP is a basic thing. Dust off the plans of Yasoob and build upon that with shorter chassis for starters.

I saw the story in an Indian show on Netflix by the name of Regimental Diaries. Well made show. Wish Pakistan can produce something like that.

The IAF roundel does not curve as the camo behind it! Photo shopped.

And you feel there would not have been similar problems operating Mirage 2000 with the French specially when India started hounding us wherever we try to purchase stiff from in the west? Both decisions had their pros and cons!

In the past Royal Navy named some of their ships as under: Tribal class destroyers: Punjabi, Afridi, Tartar, Nubian, Mohawk, Ashanti, Sikh, Maori, Gurkha, Eskimo, Cossack, Bedouin etc. Named after marshal tribes in the empire. Flower Class Corvettes: Mimosa, Bittersweet, Barrie, Arvida etc...

this love for anything Arab needs to stop now!! They have clearly shown what we or Muslim Ummah means to them. What is going to happen to them or not, should not be our concern. We need to forge our own alliances which dove tail with our priorities and vision. And mend fences where we need to...

Totally agree with PanzerKiel. Just to add to his narrative, PN will effectively use its sub force to keep the IN Carrier Group away from Pakistani shores. In effect it will be the offensive force of PN. The surface fleet of three surface task groups (I believe PN should have four) would...

As far as my logic goes, Ballistic missile, if ever mounted on PN vessels, would be mounted on Subs. A destroyer with Ballistic missiles would be in a compromised position and easier to detect and destroy as compared to a sub. My guess would be that out of 8 subs, two would be slightly...

Original orders were for 4 OPV's; 2 Damen and 2 Swiftships. I foresee a further order for 2 more OPV's. As I see it PN 50 Ship fleet will look like this: 4 x F22P (Will go for an upgrade) 4+(2) x Type 54A (SIPRI Reports 4 ordered with an option for 2 more) 4 x Milgem/Jinnah Flight I (Milgem...

MSA has 12 OPV's with varying capabilities. A further 6 FRB's are also there for near shore intercept and patrolling. I don't think there is a need to add further boats to the fleet unless plans are there to replace Barkat & Island class with more Hingol class vessels. Both Hingol and Kashmir...

Thank you for sharing. A true son of the soil and a brave heart!

Sir with all due respect, policing the EEZ should be the duty of MSA and not PN. Patrolling with a 4000 ton heavy frigate versus doing the same job with max 1,000+ ton corvette or an OPV is more cost effective. The fishing trawlers or the factory ships are not armed, after all. Type 54AP will...

Is type 54 known for its ASW capability sir or it is more suited for PN as a point/Fleet air defense platform? Don't understand the correlation between the two in actions. The actual outcome of lurking Indian subs in littoral waters of Pakistan would have been to revamp or increase ASW Air...

The decisive thrusts would be towards cutting off Hyderabad and down from rest of Pakistan and thrust towards Bahawalpur!. Fought two wars in Punjab, nothing came out of it for both sides.

Naval Berthing facilities in Oman for India are a real headache for PN. In both previous wars, Indian Navy tried to intercept Pakistan bound merchant ships in North western Arabian Sea when they did not have such berthing facilities. Now this will turn out be a logistics advantage for IN This...
