[khanasifm]

actually the F-22P have the 630s, not even 730s
Once these are inducted Hope they upgrade the F-22P frigates with the same radar and modern modern VLS.


is this because the PLAN is satisfied with the Type 052DL design and focusing on the Type 055? Or something else?

Also, is the PN wanted to buy the Type 052DL, what do you think the unit price would be?

No sir only 630 Chinese copy is on azmat class go check f22p has 730

scorpene French subs 10. years newer then your agosta class subs ie next gen.frebch subs superior dive depth limits and far more stealthier than.the older agosta

Don't get me wrong but those Kumars are not telling you the fact that they could never hook an Agosta but PN has hooked 3 latest IN Subs with all the signatures now on record to recognize them anywhere in the world. If you had slightest of knowledge, education & interest of subject; you will never mention Scorpene as superior at all. You have also more time to read about Scorpene data leaks.

Masha Allah. Everything is topline though I still cannot understand PN's love for Type 517 radar and its anachronistic-looking Yagi antenna! A modern solid state 3D search radar or even a basic conventional one could have given it a better look.

They can stack them up to 2 X 4 configuration if PN wished ( as in Chinese destroyer #167). These are CM302 (aka YJ-12A) supersonic anti-ship missiles, It cruises at supersonic speed at Mach 1.5 - 2 before acceleration to Mach 3 at final approach.

Can someone knowledgeable explain why PN opted for a second radar that clearly looks like very old tech?

This is by far the most advanced and most capable warship in Pakistan navy.

 

[xbat]

For a couple of months, until Babur class enters service, yes.

I believe it can have as many as 12 in 4x4 configuration? Or am I confusing it with a larger vessel.
