What's new

Pakistan Navy will request for 6 Oliver Hazard Perry Class FFG from U.S

This suggests replacement of 6 Type 21s one-for-one plus 4 additional hulls i.e. a fleet of 10 major surface combattants, doesn't it?
Well add the 4 F-22P to that figure, and you reach the number 14. However those figures are slightly outdated, from the sounds of it the new FFG will stand at 6 and used at 4.
So, in related to the number of major surface ships, corvettes would be in addition to the earlier number of 14 frigates? Or are they part of that number?
Yes, the corvettes will be in addition to the 14 frigates. In fact, on top of the 4 MILGEM, the PN is reportedly considering the 3 ex-Brunei Nakhoda Class ships as well.

Similarly, the sources said PN was actively considering acquiring 3X Ex-Brunei Navy corvettes build by M/s BAE of UK from 2000-2003.

How old where the Type 21's when Pakistan first acquired them? Were they a waste of money? And before that, the Gearings and the Brooke/Garcia classes?

beggars cant be choosers - the reality is that in our 60-yr history we have not been in a comfortable position (read spare CASH) to pay for NEW big ticket HARDWARE. it has always been ex-stock equipment from the US (FMS loans), UK etc. we can probably count on our fingers the number of occasions when new equipment was purchased from the west. the only exception has been China and we have always got equipment from them on "easy terms".

I want to compare the specifications between Milgem ASuW corvette and FREEM multi-purpose frigate to tell the superiority of Milgem more clearly... I know they are different class battle ships but Let's check the specifications....

Thanks to My Brother Nutuk on WAFF for these awesome informations...

FREMM is a multipurpose frigate

Milgem is a patrol / Anti submarine corvette

--FREMM has the Thales Type 4110 hull mounted sonar:
This is a medium frequency sonar that deliveres a medium range detection (compared to the Turkish Milgem active low frequency sonar for long range detection)
Fremm Thales Sonar...

--Remarkable difference between FREMM and Milgem are that FREMM uses medium range bow radar and a long range towed sonar, on the Milgem it is the other way around namely a long range bow sonar and towed sonar for medium range.

-RADARs

FREMM
The radar of the FREMM is Herakles 3D S-band multipurpose radar. HERAKLES is a 3D rotating multifunction radar that is designed to be the sole radar on board of major naval platforms. It concurrently performs all functions involved in the establishment of air and surface pictures. HERAKLES performs target detection and tracking, target classification, weapon assignment and deployment and missile uplink guidance. HERAKLES is optimised to detect and track multiple SSM, ARM, diving missiles, fighters and helicopters in littoral
environments. Range: 250km

Milgem
The SMART-S Mk2 is a medium to long-range, 3D multi-beam, E/F-band, volume search radar suitable for both air surveillance, helicopter guidance and target designation in the littoral environment at ranges of up to 250 km and up to 70-degree in elevation. The radar target set available for the SMART-S includes aircraft, small surface vessels, helicopters and anti-ship missiles. Thales Naval Systems designed the SMART-S Mk2 for optimal use in conjunction with the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM). In addition, SMART-S Mk2 with Seapar multi-function radar generate a powerful sensor weapon suite for offshore patrol vessels, corvettes, light frigates and amphibious assault ships. Range: 250km

Now, Think Tf-2000 against Fremm...:)


---and ,BAE has offered Turkey the whole technology of their new developed Artisan Radar to redevelop a national air-defence naval radar based on Artisan for future naval platforms of Turkey...It can be assess for future cooperation projects between Pak-Turkey naval platforms...

Bro, We suppose that TF2000 project will officially start in 2009. SSM authorities reported that design phrase of TF2000 has already been started and First prototype AAW frigate is planning to launch on sea until 2016-2017.

You know, We have a defence fair that called IDEF in Istanbul on 27 - 30 April 2009. Turkish defence firms are preparing to make a great indigenous product show for fair. Some authorities told that TF-2000 3D design will also introduce in IDEF 2009. We hope to see TF2000 design in there at STM stands... but There is not any official specification table of TF2000 on schedule for present...


About stealth TF-100, Turkey is going to launch first TF-100 MultiPurpose frigate in the 100. year anniversary of Turkish Republic. It means that Turkey will launch first Tf-100 frigate on sea on 29th October 2024...

Dunno if you read this (from october 2008):
"Three corvettes originally built for Brunei, but never delivered due to a legal dispute, may have been bought by Kuwait"

Here is the news....

Türkiye'den Büyük Ýhracat
