Azmat class Missile boats 500-600 ton were $50 million each so how can Ada be $90 million ??

F22p were around 170-180 million with heli and perhaps weapons

Type 054a ~$300-350 million

So Ada ?? 900 million each ?? [emoji12]

Estimate ~250 ?? 260 may be less as pn will transfer weapons from type 21 to it ?? Harpoons and phalanx

Pn has ~8-10 phalanx gun systems some will remain on tanker but type 21 transferred

According to STM's CEO, the Pakistani MILGEM deal is worth a total of $1 billion. He said the Turkish configuration would cost $300 m per ship, but the Pakistan Navy has specific changes which will reduce the cost to $250 m.

"The economic size of the work to be done is approximately $ 1 billion, the prices of the MILGEMs vary according to the systems and weapons, and in order to benefit from certain systems in Pakistan, If we were selling it to another country with the original configuration, the price of a ship would probably not be less than $ 300 million, so four would be $ 1.2 billion."

Recently PN is on a buying spree

1 billion usd for melgim- 4
250 million usd for opv - 2
1.2 billion usd for frigates - 4
200 million usd for azmat facm - 4
4 billion usd for Subs

That is almost 7 billion is plus 6 patrol ships for pmsa, atr 72, infra development

Good 10 billion spend on navy

The Damen Shipyards OPVs wouldn't cost more than $75 m each (i.e. $150 m total).

As for the Chinese submarines, if they're a variant of the S26 (i.e. S20 + AIP), the total cost isn't more than $3bn.

Finally, I'd keep an eye on tankers. The current fleet had required 2 sea-faring tankers, but if we add the Type 054A, Damen OPV 1900 and MILGEM, then that's fleet expansion (even after retiring the Type 21s). I think a 3rd tanker would make a lot of sense here.

I think pn is responsible for some of the system to be procured in GOVT to GOVT from USA or other sources

Anyway till order/contract is signed who knows what will happens

Opv from Danem is not high end $$ compared to Ada or type 54a or f22p


SA one was for $20 million per this site ?? Sarah Baartman/ Damen 8313 OPV (South Africa)-$20 million

With mil version add another 20-30 million ?? Guessing

The PN ordered the Damen OPV 1900 (link). The OPV 1900 is a variant of the OPV 1800, which cost Malaysia $55-60 m each (link).

Cost of Azmat FAC(M) also seems to be on the higher side.

Whenever a new system is inducted, one has to account for infrastructure, spares and training costs. The actual cost of the unit may be lower but these essential add ons bloat the cost. its normal.

World Environment Day is observed internationally on 05 June every year under the auspices of United National Environment Programme (UNEP). The purpose of celebrating World Environment Day is to bring worldwide focus on importance of environment and to stimulate attention and actions for improving the environment. This year, theme selected for the World Environment Day is "Beat Plastic Pollution", with an aim to come together and explore sustainable alternatives to plastic and urgently reduce the production and excessive use of single-use plastic which are continuously polluting our oceans, damaging marine life and threatening human health.
Pakistan Navy celebrates World Environment Day regularly. This year, PN arranged numerous activities on this Day to highlight the significance of environment in Pakistan and to promote awareness amongst public, concerned agencies and departments especially focusing on the marine environment. These activities include lectures on significance of the day, Essay Writing and Chart Making competitions. Cleaning Campaigns at residential areas would also be held after the month of Ramazan. Such events play a pivotal role in enhancing importance of environment amongst the general populace.
Pakistan Navy always endeavours to secure marine environment for safer and cleaner oceans. Chief of the Naval Staff in his message reaffirmed Pakistan Navy's commitment to make every effort to protect our environment especially in maritime domain and for sustainable use of oceans while endeavoring to protect its precious resources for our future generations.

Mashallah PN future fleet looks promising. It is advisable that PN also looks options for a submarine tender & support ship. Given that PN will operate several submarines it will be an added plus.

 

[Tank131]

While its a good start, i hope PN opts for the Universal Vertical Launch System (UVLS) to allow for future updates with respect to weapons. I thinknthat is a change that may realistically occur.

A change that is unlikely to happen in the Pakistani ships but think it should: I would like to think that they would have opted for an AESA radar on a integrated mast which would have allowed the removal of the 4 SAM FCR, allowing for more space, especially above the hangar to allow for more missiles like a 21 cell FL-3000N. The FCR responsibilities would be managed by the AESAs in the integrated mast.

As always, i hope PLAN/PN could find a quad-packed missile (45+km range) to fit this UVLS allowing for a huge increase in the missile load carried and allowimg potentially for a diversified weapons load (which could include LRSAMs and LACM).
