Currently, we can not think of Carrier Ship but in near future PN would need at least Mini carrier to defend its territory .
Mini Carrier with capability of hosting 10-15 warship helicopter and 20 armed drones along with fire punch such as long air defence, Anti ship long range cruise and...
They are again trying to create a war like scenario on LOC.
May be planning to escalate to a certain extent then to pave a way to utilize and TEST new Rafale against PAF.
Keep the force in good shape within limited resources is a tedious job.
PAF is working really hard to maintain its strength despite of budget constraints.
Its Indian backed Terror elements who are acting to distort the image of Pakistan.
Kabul needs to understand, choices it has is limited.
Good relation with in Afghan groups and with regional countries is must.
Early every stake holder understands it, better it would be for peace and stability...
Keep the good work going.
But still we need to come up with some equivalent fighter to tackle Rafael fighter.
All our expectations are from JF-Block-3 which still due to roll out.
Dear Fellows,
Let these ships join PN.I believe these are already having latest equipment as per their capacity. It is not possible to install every most advanced tech into these Ships.
That's our wish to have more and more as well most advanced weapons to deter Enemy.
For that more advanced...
Eventually, PN will go for Mini Carrier option which suits its requirements and within its financial capacity.
In my opinion, first coming 5 years would see new Frigate, Corvette and Destroyer along with Submarines in PN. Then, these LHD Ships OR Mini/Used carrier might see its way into PN.
