Featured Pakistan Navy Type 054AP Frigates - Update, News & Discussion

Well conflict in Syria has shown an enemy can come near your shore and just shot a barrage of missiles and turn away , so we need some notable detterant in Deep Sea near our ports

The Chinese Ships are exactly the type of confident posture we need at Sea to protect our National Interest
 
.
Finally, a great decision.

@Zarvan As far as I know contract for 2 frigates were signed than how Pak Navy will have 4 by 2021?
 
.
This deal changes everything. 4 Type-54A Frigates, 11 AIP Submarines later, PN can expand it operational envelope into the Indian ocean.

Bhai , need more than 4 ... 6-8 Type 54's than you have a proper AD Protection .

Trying to figure it out myself

it will work mostly likely as a Flag ship , along with F-22's and FAC .. it will make a group of their own to attack enemy ships with a proper AD .

Not strong enough for that, but in due time.

It certainly will be enough to smash any 'blockade' and hurt the enemy badly if they attack.
4 Type 54A/B's, 8 F-22P, 4 Milgems and 11 submarines (all AIP capable) that is a very good fleet.

Oh at least we won't be seeing any more Indian jokes about how their coastguard is enough for the Pakistan navy......

We might have nice 4 Surface ship group , and 2 Under Water Mission Groups (12 Subs)

Reasonable for our needs but I would imagine our Submarine fleet will be Lone Tiger at sea 8-)
 
.
Contract signed by MoD are all contracts signed by MoD or those only which has local component ?? Being built at kse?? At least some ?? 4 ships in 3 years 2019-2921 ??

From an article of a Chinese writer:
“比如笔者最早得知确有此事,就是从巴基斯坦空军方面证实的——“您说,海军买这么昂贵的军舰干什么啊?啊?这笔钱要是给我们,那我们就可以买更多的JF-17 Block 3,甚至是FC-20(歼-10出口型)......多那几条船,也打不沉印度的航母的。”

Google translate:
For example, the author first learned that this was indeed the case, which was confirmed by the Pakistani Air Force. “You said, What does the Navy buy such an expensive warship? Ah? If this money is for us, then we can buy more JFs. -17 Block 3, even FC-20 (J-10 export type)... There were several ships that couldn't sink the carriers of India."

1x Azmat
= Being constructed in Pakistan (Follow up x4 order could happen)

2+2 Milgem = Being constructed in Turkey (Milgem/Istambul) 2 to be made in Pakistan

2+ 2 Type054 = Being constructed in China

2 Damen = Being made in Holland

2 Swift = Being made in USA

8x Submarines = Being made in China

Shipyard upgrade ~ due in 4-5 years as well being constructed in Pakistan

  • Only missing Italian Ships purchase at this point 1-2 ships from Italy would be icing on cake, 1-2 Italian ships armed with few Italian SAM might as well break the news

True, however as per fatman the swift deal is over "no more "

If you are talking about from those VLS no they don't that is sad part.

Type 54A have VLS while Type 54 didn't that is one important difference between two, now what weapons and sensor configuration PN going? that is important question.

Sir some members were saying that these frigates only have anti ship missiles and Air defence system and not cruise missile capability , I am confused!

Don't get confused, use Google and check standard configuration of this class of ship to understand its capabilities.
