Congrats, on the first frigate bulit indigenously. But u guys have a lot catching up to do.

 

[RAMPAGE]

This is a piece of history, as PNS Aslat is the 'First ever' frigate built at home.

so what's next yara ...... Will PN go for an air-defence destroyer now ?

 

[PakShaheen79]

And this conclude the deal of 4 F-22P and 6 Z-9Cs. Time to move towards fleet air defence system like AD destroyers.

 

[Kompromat]

I want Type54A's.

 

[Imran Khan]

i thought there are a reserve place in ship to carry additional missile

carry and reload are diffret things bro you need crane for reload

carry and reload are diffret things bro you need crane for reload

Pakistan Navy needs to have silent submarines armed with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles...

Our submarines should be able to to travel as far as Mediterranean Sea via Suez Canal by remaining sub-merged and out of the detection of any enemy...

 

[Dazzler]

a limited rather reserve stock of missiles is also present on board

 

[ziaulislam]

so only 8 or 16 missile are the hope only :sigh:

what do you expect, its only 2300 tones thats small, especially when it can also carry a Z-9 chopper for antisubmarine role..
other options for navy are type54A its weight around 4500tones. now it comes into two variants
the basic one has same FM-90 but reloaded automatically while the typeA carries missles that are vertical launched and range of about 60 km..meaning a greater anglee of engagement..

some say navy should consider the ex-british destroyers and retofit them..

SAM is ofcourse the FM-90 8 non reloadable short range air to air with max range of 20km
in additon 2 CIWS

it does not have a mechanical reloading device (but that doest mean it can't be reloaded)
