This is ASFAT A.S.' AS3600 frigate design. Likely based on the Jinnah-class frigate. IMO...possible Jinnah-class Batch-II/III design.

Well I hope it's the first BLOCK plus it has 32 VLS which can carry long range land attack cruise missiles as well if mission requires.

Highly likely because of the striking similarities between last years Jinnah class design. Each year it feels like the design changing more and more, could it be that PN really might pivot towards this 64vls version? Since rumors of interest in type 52D were spread a few years ago.

If you have already Type 54 A seriously going for these looks like a bad joke. Get more Type 54 A instead.

Considering the cost of warships, even if this suicide drone costs something along the lines of $5-10 million, sending a small squadron of these to sink a single ship (or take it out of commission) would 100% be worth the cost. They're hard to detect and shoot at, so their relatively higher cost against the likes of an anti-ship missile is more than made up for by its capabilities.

We've seen the potential damage these can do due to the Ukraine-Russia war. I have zero doubts that nations are both frantically developing their own versions, while trying to develop counter measures against them simultaneously.

Turkey's Work in Electric Vehicles is exemplary.
