1. the original plan was to replace the four type-21's with 4 Perry class FFG's. 1 received - other 3 difficult.
2. so according to media reports PN trying to buy 3-4 type-42's from UK. naval sources say they are not aware of any such plan.
3. 4 type-22 acquired - plans for further updated type-22's from china if 1 and 2 dont materialise.
4. FFG budget is 8-10 surface combatants (FFG).

You mean to say we would only 10 to 12 Frigates by 2025

 

[Gessler]

I would say...

Surface:

2 x Type-054A Jiangkai-II FFGs
6 x F-22P Zulfiqar FFGs
1 x Oliver Perry Hazard FFG

6 x Azmat FACs
10 x Type-022 Hobei FACs

Underwater -

4 x (or 6 x) Qing SSK (with Babur SLCM)
4 x Agosta-90B SSK
2 x Agosta-70 SSK

That would be the ideal fleet - not too small, but not too big either so maintenance can be effectively
managed.

No you are not right!

It would be like this:
15+ F-22P of different blocks
11+ Corvettes based on F-22P design or improved
16+ FAC Azmat Class ones only

2 Agosta-70s
6-8 Agosta-90Bs

Some JV with Germany... for more submarines.
