Instead of focusing on old Oliver Class Frigates which is also 4000+ ton ship, PN should focus on Type-05A which would have gone a long way in fulfilling the future needs for the PN. These days PAF is really modernizing its fleet with new inductions like Air-to-Air refuellers AEW&C/AWACS. Our defense policy makers would have to think for PN on the same lines and should start sparing some budget for PN and on the other hand PN should also be bold in terms of its future surface fleet requirements and selections.
I agree with you, but my opinion is that we should get also Oliver Class Frigrates which are coming at very cheap price and We should also buy Tpe-054 A Frigrates with long range BVR air defence missels. It is very necessary and Pakistan Navy is ignoring to install long range BVR air defence systems on Frigrates and it is blunder. Sometime when i read this all i become annoyed that why that dont install long range air defence systems. Any argument is meaningless for me in my view Long range air defence system should be on board, without any argument without any discussion of price, withou any discussion to relate it with weight of ship that it is 2500 tons, it is 4000 tons or it is 6000 tons etc.
