Besides the MILGEM corvette (Babur-class) and Jinnah-class frigate, the PN has a requirement for additional OPVs, shallow-water attack/miniature submarines, and possibly even another AIP submarine.Well I don't know about just Pakistan and Bangladesh being customers will support their defence industry, but Indonesia, Philippines and several other Asian and South American countries are already prospective customers, especially for Helis and Frigates. Bangladesh is indeed a very prospective Naval customer - which Pakistan already is (Jinnah class and Milgem corvettes among others).
@Zarvan bhai, are those two types of ships the only ones in the pipeline for PN?
The PN seems to be in talks with Turkey for the miniature submarine. But I think there's a chance that the PN may opt for OPVs based on the MILGEM too. They did buy the IP for the B-Class and J-Class, so I guess it wouldn't be hard to rework the B-Class into a lower-cost OPV...
