Pakistan Navy to Purchase Frigates from China

[Mentee]

what is herba missile system? Anyone?

 

[bananarepublic]

With the rate of expansion of the Pakistan navy it will become a formidable force against india

 

[Vapnope]

Lol! That's a collapsable bulletproof messenger bag to protect vip from direction of fire.

I am yet to understand why the guards don't wear bulletproof vests themselves?

 

[Shiji]

Yes that is why he walks way behind the VIP for GOD sake it's not that

As someone who has actually underwent CP (Close Protection) I can assure you that, that is a messenger bag.
Like this one

I am yet to understand why the guards don't wear bulletproof vests themselves?

Sometimes they do most of the times they don't, you have to understand that CP Personal are the last resorts before that tons of security paraphernalia is already in place. Also chest rigs etc tend to slow you down, while in bodyguard senario speed is essentially required in removing the VVIP.

When did they test azb missile from submarine?? and why we need 2 sub fired missiles?? What's herba missiles???

8 sub marines is a great force... I would not worry about destroyers... unless we also want an aircraft carrier... frigates are good... and we shud aim to further increase sub numbers and missile and detection ranges

So under the outgoing naval chief, the level and impact of the naval modernization has been greater than even the army and the Air Force? Quite impressive. The 2020s will be an exciting times for the Pakistani military.

Firstly thank you to the departing Head of Navy "THANK YOU SIR" May you enjoy the remainder of your retirement in great joy with your family and let the new Leader take Navy forward

The source is 100% credible and can't be more credible then this video

a) Fast Attack Boats introduction (Most likely Azmat class missile boats)
b) Dutch Patrol OPV
c) Purchase of Additional Frigates from China (F22P+ or Type054) higher chances of F22P+ as before, Pakistan Navy had initially made suggestion on a customized F22P frigate for Navy but could be Type 054
d) Discussion of successful Babur Cruise missile launch from Submarines
e) Discussion about Zarb Coastal Defence Missile
f) Confirmation of purchase of 8 Submarines from China in 2015 that project is seperate clearly indicated in the speech
g) New Harba Missile (Surface to Surface Missile being announced by Navy)
h) Purchase of High quality Sea surveilence Ship for sea , traffic control and better management of sea assets
*Work on upgrading PN's ATR planes into MPA's in Germany will finish by January 2018.
*Sea King helicopters from UK will be inducted by end of 2017.

• It might be the Type054 1-4 Units for protection of CPEC gateway it was well understood that greater responsibility comes with CPEC gateway

What the Navy doing with a Surface to Surface Missile?

Unless they plan on employing it as an SLBM?

 

[hussain0216]

Very much required to defend against and attack india

 

[Thunder.Storm]

Any idea which Frigate are we talking about here. A new design of ship was displayed at our IDEAS nobody knew about it why it's being shown and now this is being told by outgoing Naval Chief it makes things really interesting

@Rashid Mahmood @Horus @Oscar

I am working on it. Waiting for confirmed info but i think its f-22p pakistani modified for pakistani weapons.

Technically any missile launched against another ship from a naval platform is surface to surface. We just don’t know what this missile is whether it’s anti ship missile or land attack.

 

[Thunder.Storm]

Herba is a new missile system and in developing stage.

 

[Thunder.Storm]

What is this?, explain a bit more, what is meant by IR systems? Who is gonna use it?

Infrared imaging for some of our system bcz Pak has many systems which needs it

If we wanted that we would have ordered them long ago these are some new ones which were also shown recently by China in various defence exhibitions.

Chinese Shipbuilder CSOC unveiled new Frigate, LHD and Submarine designs at IDEX 2013

Beijing based China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Co. (CSOC) unveiled several new designs during IDEX 2013, the international defense exhibition held in the United Arab Emirates. Navyrecognition took the opportunity to get some details about these new designs during the event, including a new LHD design, the S20 submarine and a new stealth frigate design.

CSOC's three new models on show during IDEX 2013





CSOC New LHD

The sign next to the model might have said "LPD", the model showcased on CSOC's stand at IDEX really was an LHD (Landing Helicopter Dock).

Reported specifications (length of 198 meters, displacement of 22,000 tons, breadth of 21.80 meters, and maximum speed of 22 Knots) appear to be close to those of a Mistral class LHD for example.

A CSOC representative at the show insisted the design was for the export market exclusively. After inquiring about the design's projection capabilities the same representative told us the LHD had 4 helicopter spots and could carry 8 more internally inside the hangar. Regarding troops accommodations, we were told the design could accommodate in excess of 700 soldiers and over 50 armored vehicles. The CSOC representative confirmed the presence of a well-deck for amphibious operations but declined to comment on it capacities or specifications.

Looking at the model's details, we can guess that CSOC's LHD design is fitted with two naval gun mounts at the bow (each carrying their own Optical Fire Control), two FL-3000N (with 18 cells/missiles each) missile systems at the stern and two Type 730 (or the newer Type 1130) 30mm Gatling type CIWS located forward and aft on the island of the LHD.






CSOC S20 SSK Submarine

CSOC was also showcasing a new submarine on its stand at IDEX: The S20.

The CSOC representative gave us the following specifications for this new submarine:
Length: 66 meters
Breadth: 8 meters
Maximum Draft: 8 meters
Displacement (submerged): 2,200 tons
Maximum speed: about 20 Knots
Crew: 40

The person declined to disclose the maximum depth and endurance of the S20. We were told the weapons fit may varry according to customer requirements but the S20 may accommodate heavy torpedoes and anti-ship missiles from six torpedo tubes and deploy mines and special forces. It may also be fitted with AIP (air-independent propulsion) system if a customer requires.

Finally the CSOC representative declined to comment any similarities of the S20 with the existing Type 041 (Yuan class) submarine currently in service with the Chinese Navy.





CSOC Stealth Frigate

The new "High Performance Frigate" (we were told there was currently no existing project name or designation for this type of frigate) showcased next to the LHD and S20 submarine at IDEX featured a relatively stealthy designed we have never seen before.

Reported specifications of the Frigate are as follow:
Length: 135 meters
Breadth: 15.3 meters
Displacement: 3,500 tons
Maximum speed: 28 Knots

We were told crew complement would be around 110 sailors. The type is fitted with 32 VLS cells at the stern, a H/PJ-26 main gun (Chinese version of the Russian AK-176 76.2mm naval gun), two H/PJ-13 CIWS (Chinese version of the Russian AK-630), two manned machine gun mounts on top of the main bridge, eight anti-ship missile launchers and one FL-3000N missile system on top of the helicopter hangar.

We could not get any information regarding anti-submarine capabilities or the sensor suite fitted on this Frigate. We were just told that "it depends on the customer needs".
