Pakistan Navy to Purchase Frigates from China

[Basel]

I've no clue on where or how many will be built however i got you guys some more pics

Why most export frigates from China don't have VLS launched AShM??

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

It is the de facto Type 054B, with 32 large VLS units from the Type 052D.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

According to Chinese source from reliable site
This is what Pakistan navy is probably getting, a complete new designed 4000 class FFG with VLS, stealth features

Well in all honesty we don't have a proper Frigate and this would help with bridging the gap we need 4 ships of this magnitutde for coastal Defence

I am expecting the F22p+ FRIGATE

No dates were announced how long will that take to sign the deal or is it already ordered ???

he said it was already signed, but he didnt give time frame for delivery

surprisingly no mention of turkish frigates, so i think for now that could be on back ..
i guess funding will be the issue

It means ADA class will not come?

4000 tones frigate is next to air defence..if this is true it will be wonders, but why do i have feeling its gona be sub 2800 tones frigate

Including the 8-subs, it seems the total value of the naval modernization program is at least 10 billion roughly. People still think Pakistan military can’t afford big ticket items for the Air Force? @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Windjammer

all from china with loans and probably its around 5 billion not 10

PAF has been oping for f16s and concentrating on jf-17 which is a good idea(as the commonality between j-10/jf-17 is numerous)but only if 5th gen fighter is on the horizon

the indigenous solution is 15 years away may be 20 , so if we dont get J 31/j20 before 2025 than PAF has to opt for J10/J11/su35 to replace its mirages5

i still believe that PAF and pakistani poltical brass played it wrong when it comes to f-16s, first PAF didnt do enough diplomacy second they didnt acquire j-10 in 2000s, which was probably the reason why USA released the f-16s in the first place, this is my guess from looking at Zulus, as soon as we buy from other people, uncle sam comes in with an offer

Can it carry HQ9b?

It seem soon or deal could be already signed

PN designation for ex-Royal Navy Type 21 frigates (displacement<3800 t) is Tariq class destroyer (serving the 25th Destroyer squadron).

If 4000 t Chinese frigates have been ordered as replacement of Type 21's, why didn't Retd. Admiral Zakaullah say destroyers ?

this seems the pic High Performance frigate (3500 tonnes class) with 32 VLS but according Military recognition site it lacks anti-submarine capabilities but would be nice addition specially in the presence of F-22P which already have some anti-sub warfare elements installed

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

Can it carry HQ9b?

Most likely, since we need to offer something more sophisticated than the regular HQ-9.

what possible modifications would be required to fire cruise and anti ship missiles, from this frigate, in the VLS ? @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Zarvan @wanglaokan

 

[khanasifm]

Is the mono hull confirmed or this Tri hull is an option or could be the option opted for?? http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a25375/chian-three-hull-frigate/

A bigger VLS that is what is required and ship size should be able to have it fit inside it

Chinese naval exhibit at ideas 2016

Another model exhibited at same expo ???

Looks very similar to CSOC 4000 ton class frigate

We can deliver a VLS design that can hold any missles PN asks, even cruise missle. A completely customized version. Then current dimension of VLS on type 055 DDG is even bigger than MK57.
