Riverine boat will be useful for coastal area security as Pakistan has no river to patrol.

No word on specific configuration of the Swift corvettes. Given that they're for CTF-150/151, they can just do with 30 mm guns. As for the MILGEM, @cabatli_53 quoted a reliable Turkish source, who was saying Turkey's EXIM Bank is in talks with Pakistan to work out financing for the MILGEM (a couple of weeks ago).?? What? The Indus and its tributaries represent one of the largest watersheds in the world. There are many rivers that Pakistan needs to patrol. Now you might say they aren't important against India, but India is not the only threat. There are terrorists that use rivers, drug traffickers, and gangs.
Last year, operations against Chotu Gang by Punjab Police was disastrous specifically due to the lack of Riverine craft amongst other issues. The access to vital areas with the bringing of heavy firepower was so limited to to pathetic little dinghies they were using that the army had to be brought in to deal with the gang.
Now regarding the Swift corvette, I think they will be primarily for CFT151 To free up larger assets. I cannot believe the US would release RAM2 to Pakistan if Congress allows this sale to go through at all. One reason may be the Pakistani /Pakistani descent CEO of Swift Boats. If yhe deal goes through, it will represent the value of Pakistan origin people getting into industry other than Medicine in the US, and Pakistan for the first time properly leveraging the community. But it remains to be seen 1)what configuration the ship will come with (guns and UAV only, or with Harpoon and RAM2) and 2) if congress will allow the deal to go through.
If it does, the deal is supposedly for 2 + option for 2 by 2020. That plus the supposed Chinese frigate deal will likely effectively kill the MILGEM deal which, while it was giving a new big ticket supplier, was too expensive for what PN was acquiring.
@Bilal Khan (Quwa) any word on the configuration, furthermore, any word pn plans to move harpoons off the Amazon's to something like MTP-33 or would they ve moved to Swifts to help lower cost?
