[Quwa]

well all along you have been harping about sourse links links, here is what Pshamim has to say about the new F-22s.

Good stuff.

Did you see this?

Nice pics dear...VLS (Vertical Launch System) is clearly evident from both the pics, looks impressive.
Two quadruple launchers for anti-ship missiles are also visible, installed at the mid-ship position.
Could you please provide the larger images, so that it can be judged that if they are box-shape launchers (in this case probable missile would be YJ-83) or cylinder-shape launchers (in this case probable missile would be YJ-62), so it can be guessed if YJ-83 (C-803) will be carried or YJ-62 (C-602) will carried.

Notice some similarities with F-22P...

...only issue is, the pics are of a Chinese export-FFG called F-16U. This is purely my opinion, but this whole "F-22P II" business may in fact be F-16U. Anyone who doesn't know the background might have mistaken it for the "F-22P/Type-054" hybrid as originally reported by the Chinese. In fact, the F-22P itself seems to be a hybrid of F-16U and Type-053H3!

I remember couple of years ago i read at sinodefence that China is offering Type-054/A for export customers under the designation of F-16U.

Thanks for the pics Mark, I still haven't signed up to Pakdef so couldn't see anything on there, couldn't find pics of F-16U on google either.

So PN is getting 4 F-22P and 4 of these F-16U. The 16U looks fantastic, VLS too, wicked. What is the point of buying MEKO or Turkish ships when they can get more of these?

Didn't PShamim also mention that F-22P's superstructure will be altered to become more like 16U? I guess he meant only the last two since the first two are pretty much finished.
If only they could change the last two 22Ps ordered to 16U.

I thought that MM-40 block 3 are land base missle not submarine launch missile.

They are land/ship- based. HOwever, the article says that sublaunched version may follow. Given prior experience, it's not that hard for the french to package the new missile for encapsulated subsurface launch. Depends on whether there is demand enough in the market.

Don't quote me on it, I don't even know if this whole business of 4 more F-22P is even true.

wow looks very impressive. could this be a export version of 052b? certainly too big for 3,000t f-22.

It's called F-16U and formed the basis for Type-054(A), and yes it was marketed exclusively for export. Based on the information available, its displacement was 3000-3500 tonnes.

That's probably for 4 ships, including setting up for construction at Karachi Shipyard, some weaponry (spare missiles, ammo etc), some training.
