PN already uses ScanEagle UAVs. Honestly, I wouldn't expect much more than guns on these corvettes (mainly CTF-150/151). That said, the Swift Corvette can handle both AShW and ASW, it is up to the PN to equip them that way (and for the US to approve).
We haven't heard much of the DK-10 since 2014, not even mock-ups of the system in quad-packing form from NORINCO or CSOC. So the alternate SAM in this case would be Umkhonto IR or EIR, but a SR/MR-SAM would still be very limiting seeing that even this frigate has an APAR and over-the-horizon radar (OTHR).
Bro, It seems Pakistan and Turkey have difficulty to finalize the big deals and Requests just remain on letter of intent stage since financial issues take much time in negotiations so the countries like USA revealing million $ funds to support their position on export markets, take advantage of this conditions so I will wait to be happy until I saw two countries signing official letters with a smile on their faces.
Hull Form Optimization and Model Testing of the I Class Frigate. (2015)
Secondly, I don’t suppose Pakistan will prefer a concept platform like LF-2400 whose underwater and keel optimizations of real models are not even achieved. Effects on the change of center of gravity along with new hull characteristics may need some changes over keel and place of accomodation since VL launchers are stationed on backside above the waterline which is different than Istanbull class frigates. I class’s pool optimizations are perfectly completed and passed into serial production so While a perfect ship like Istanbull class is on table for Pakistan, It is no need to take some risk on engineering study of a concept design that will take much time to get matured for production...
Good thing for Turkey is that time with Pakistan might not be that costly. The Swift Corvettes are meant for CTF-150/151, the US since 2011 has stopped the easy supply of war fighting systems to Pakistan, while Europe is just focused on India and will not look at Pakistan. China is there, but Pakistan likes diversity as well.Bro, It seems Pakistan and Turkey have difficulty to finalize the big deals and Requests just remain on letter of intent stage since financial issues take much time in negotiations so the countries like USA revealing million $ funds to support their position on export markets, take advantage of this conditions so I will wait to be happy until I saw two countries signing official letters with a smile on their faces.

It would be a blessing for many Muslim navies if Turkey could develop a domestic VLS and air defence system relating thereto.
