you call F-22p a good Frigate
Let Me Tell you what Frigate is Shivalik-class frigate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes because its main purpose is defensive patrol where PAF can provide air cover, if OHPs had been released to PN then they would have been main attack fleet of PN but now PN have considered other options and asking Govt. for funds.
Chinese weapons on board f-22P are cheap knock offs western and russian weapons.
C-802 ..Harpoon
FM-90 SAM...Cortale
Type 730 CIWS ...AK630
AK176..soviet main gun
ON top of it..F-22P(2500 tonnes) is hardly the size of a corvette, yet has been designated as frigates, just like how Amazon class frigates(2750 tonnes) were classified as destroyers in Pakistan Navy.
In fact Indian Navy's Kamorta class corvette(2800 tonnes, 3400 tonnes full load) are bigger and better equipped than Pakistani frigates and destroyers..barring one OHP.
If you call those knock off then your nirbhay is knock off of tomahawk CM and Brahmos is knock off of Onyx missiles.
