`PAKISTAN NAVY CONSIDERS TURKISH NAVAL COMPANIES AT PAR WITH ANY COMPANY WITHIN THE EUROPEAN DEFENSE INDUSTRY

J class could be to PN what Type 54 is to PLAN - (Can see it as PN’s backbone platform and future replacement of F-22P)

3. It sounds like the PN exercised the option for 2 additional Damen OPVs?

It certainly seems that from what the Admiral said. Can anyone confirm this?

And have we finalized any armament package for the first two?

There are two possibilities:

1: PN is exercising option of two more OPVs from Damen. This means two more vessels in somewhat same configuration as Yarmook class will become part of PN in near future.

2: These 4X OPVs are new and will be procured from a different vendor. These OPVs will be different than those we acquired earlier. This suggests that number of OPVs type Corvettes in PN will reach six.

Both possibilities are feasible. There were some issues of mediocre level with Yarmook class. If those issues have been ratified than I'll go with first option. Otherwise second option make more sense.
