So, its just a boat. PN will upgrade the system. Anyone knows what weapons will be in this boat.

 

[PakistaniPatriot]

I don't think it will be possible to launch Cruise missiles like Babur and Ra'ad. Please tell me if it is possible or not and Thank You.

 

[EagleEyes]

C-802 anti-ship cruise missile might be possible. Babur may be possible too, once its naval version is officially out.

which class is this ship? is it of dogan class?

seems to me of a max .5 tonne displacement,

should be for the purpose of coast guard.

Salam to all,

First of all ,the Ship is MRTP33 Class, and this is only the plateform, i think, that plateform used for Saad Cruise Missile Delivery system, because Mrtp33 capable of firing 8 Harpoon missiles, and also capable of travel with the maximum cruise speed of 35 knots.

Following link suggested that Pakistan navy ordered 2 Mrtp33

[HAIDER]

why coast guard need missile boat ?

 

[Black Stone]

why coast guard need missile boat ?

It did say it is an "attack craft" so I presume with the C-802 equipped. Anything goes.

It would be one very deadly and lethal boat.

 

[fatman17]

why coast guard need missile boat ?

its for the NAVY!!!

 

[bhangra12345]

its for the NAVY!!!

and the boat is of the size of a medium/small fishing boat and you think that from that missiles can be launched, unless you want the people on it to be deep fried.
check its size - a 100 tonner

and this is the size of good sized coast guard vessel with the indian navy.

Advance Offshore Patrol Vessels
(AOPVs) : 04
Displacement (in tonnes) : Full load : 2000
