Agreed. These fishing boats should not be named after Muhammad Ali Jinnah the great.It should not be named Jinnah class if its just an ordinary class frigate. If for nothing else than just for the sake of the name Jinnah itself.
The worth of a surface ship these days is entirely its air, and missile defences.View attachment 770899
And I am seriously disappointed.
would love to see that source .... before commentingThe sources on net giving news of more than one missile in single launcher for Albatros.

Are we really going to compare PN to what it used to be after all the changes that are being made? Imo his concern is certainly baseless, on this forum we have a habit of speculating a billion things and not waiting to see them in person. As I said we know very little about what’s actually going to equip the Babur class and those ships are already finishing construction, they’ve been changing its loadout over and over and improving it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Jinnah class has absolutely no resemblance to that model…(note how the PN MILGEM says PN MILGEM on it but the apparent Jinnah class doesn’t say it’s Jinnah class or even that it’s for PN anywhere.)Considering previous AD capabilities available on PN assets the disappointment shown by member is not baseless however it should also be considered that PN first time in history is going to arm Turkish made corvettes with fully automatic Albatros SAM system which reportedly perhaps 3 can be carried in single launcher, so the twelve cells launcher currently can carry 36 missiles with reported range of 40 KM however their are reports that same missile is able to intercept targets as far as 60 KM.
On other hand we may expect even in 16 cells the further longer range missile from Italy or Turkey with capacity up to 48 missiles per ship which is not less by any means with full digital systems perhaps Pak milgems shall have better capability to intercept Jets/missiles as compared to Chinese type 54 AP frigates.
( It is worthwhile to mention that some sources are reporting that HQ16 b is also fully automatic and has reported range above 70 KM so PN is first time getting true capability to secure naval assets suffciently as compared to past and present)
The Jinnah class model with 16 VLS and 8 cells for ASHM/Land Attack Missiles is already displayed in IDEF 2021 so may be the overall design of Jinnah class is almost finalised and vital chances are it will not have 36 VLS.)
Pakistan dumps Chinese missile for new warships, chooses European weapon?
A shipyard in Istanbul is building two ships, the other 2 are being built in Karachiwww.theweek.in
Brother plz point out where the article you shared exactly says that every tube of GWS-26 VLS could carry 3 CAMM-ERPakistan dumps Chinese missile for new warships, chooses European weapon?

just to add further to this point people need to remember the very first model of PN Milgem shown during the time of signing the contract was a model of Standard Milgem Corvette without any VLS and lot of disappointed discussion was carried out for some time ....Are we really going to compare PN to what it used to be after all the changes that are being made?

So a humble advice to forum member plz be patient .... wait for other models of Jinnah class.
BTW on personal grounds I don't even believe its the Model shown in the tweet is related to Jinnah Class
Disappointed for what?View attachment 770899

I'm happy with the general design, but I hope they invest a bit more in stealthiness (e.g., raise the side super-structures so that they cover the exhaust stacks. I hope they find a way to have 32 VLS cells via the SYLVER or MDAS. Otherwise, this is a good direction if the goal is controlling cost, simplifying processes and -- above all -- building a sizable fleet.The person who snapped the picture of model during the expo learnt about that model being 'Jinnah class' from the official who was present at the spot.
There is good possibility that it's a tentative design, or one design out of multiple, from which final choice is yet to be made.
Still, whatever the layout difference might be in different designs, the configuration Navy wants in Jinnah Class is pretty much clear. A medium size frigate, which will have similar sensor and weapon package as Babur class. Difference will be in size oriented options. Like, more payload, more range, higher speed, bigger flight deck, etc etc. And this is what we actually need. A fleet of 8 - 10 Medium size Warships with state of art weapon and sensor package of Western origin.
There won't be any "indigenous" vessel of 5000 tons or 6000 tons category as people were expecting.
As many members have stated this is probably an initial design which will undergo modifications before a final design is reached.
