tbh the CNS looks pretty excited. Sounds like something got cleared, approved, is on offer, or is getting married.

4 Italian Made Frigates would be nice addition with support helicopter package but one can only dream (100% speculative statement from my end)

We have constructed decent cooperation with Italy

• With Support Helicopters for Land Operations
• Recent talk of Missiles for Frigates
• Past deals involving SPADA SAMs

Any Ships bought from Italy would be icing on cake

However with Pakistan investing in "Milgem Class" and "Jinnah Class" Designs the ship purchase would be highly unlikely

The excitement could be just talk of Helicopter Package (NAVY Versions) for future Frigates which could be possible

While Leonardo is an Italian company, the naval helicopter is more a UK issue. The AW159 and AW101 are both built mostly in the UK. I'm sure the licenses for those are already in place. But this convo with Italy's defence official is likely in reference to what Italy focuses on, i.e. ships, subs, armoured vehicles, and small arms.

Italy have stepped it up big , since the SPADA2000 days it was a high value acquisition in the 90's
The trust and cooperation between Italy/Pakistan has only grown every decade

They themselves have undergone a impressive Airforce modernization (Typhoon and Now F35) and Navy is also being upgraded with Latest Ships @ heavier Destroyer level grade

Interesting Dynamic that F35 was given to Italy and Turkey were not given F35

 

[Yasser76]

I think for ships already we are getting decent equipment from Turkey/China, amd Jinnah class will keep us occupied here. Nothing significant the Italians can provide that Turkey and China cannot in terms of hulls.

Where Italy excels is Helciopters, missiles, electronics and radars. Basically much of the stuff that actually goes onto the hulls.

I would think long range SAMS (other then CAMM-ER), ship radars and AW159

Things will get more interesting now that India has removed Leonardo from it's blacklist. They will be doing their utmost to play spoilers. Was hoping they would keep their stupid policies bit longer

IMO it won't affect things much. Neither India or Pakistan are relying on Leonardo for something super specific they can't get from other suppliers.
