Amazing amount of exercises right now now by PN. 1 F-22 and Tanker in Morroco, 1 OHP plus P-3C in Turkey, 1 F-22, 1 Minehunter and 1 P-3C in Oman and SSG in Bahrain. Shows incredible levels of readiness.

Unlikely. The PN will probably equip with C-802, Harbah or the new supersonic missile.

True but it might be used to arm MRTP-33 which, if possible, could see the revival of that program. A 300km AShM off of a speed boat of that caliber would be a boon for PN in littoral combat.

Pakistan's state-owned Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW) launched on 27 November the fourth missile-capable Azmat-class fast attack craft (FAC(M)) on order for the Pakistan Navy (PN).

The ship, which is expected to have pennant number 1028, entered the water in a ceremony held at KSEW’s facilities in Karachi that was also attended by Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Defence Production Mohtarma Zobaida Jalal.

A keel-laying ceremony for the 63 m-long multi-role vessel, which has a beam of 8.8 m and a standard displacement of 566 tonnes, had been held in March 2017.

In a statement the PN described the vessel as the “first indigenously designed FAC(M)", pointing out that design work was carried out by Karachi-based Maritime Technologies Complex (MTC). Speaking at the ceremony Zobaida Jalal congratulated the PN, MTC and KSEW “for this remarkable achievement towards the national goal of indigenisation and self-reliance”.

The PN currently operates three Azmat-class craft: PNS Azmat (1013), PNS Dehshat (1014), and PNS Himmat (1027) which were commissioned in June 2012, June 2014, and July 2017.

According to Jane's Fighting Ships , the Azmat class is armed with eight launchers for the 180-km range C-802A surface-to-surface missile.
