Pakistan orders Dutch OPV (1,900 tons, 90 m). To be built at KSEW

It looks like pn adding antiship and air to theses boats because product does not state theses capabilities it's air heli is pretty impressive for 19/2000 ton class http://products.damen.com/-/media/P...ure_Damen_Offshore_Patrol_Vessels_04_2015.PDF

PN can also go for following solution.

The shore based systems and sea based system already in place plus new system/launcher capable of accommodating /firing both anti ship and land attack being developed the only diff is it's not Russian

Who knows what else is it there

The only good thing in this concept is you can load it on civilian tankers as well

I never said about purchasing Russian system it about implementing the concept Russians have developed.

we need a proper strategy and long term planning for navy with clever usage of our current and up coming procurement right now its too much happening in quick time within the navy ,pmsa and cost guards .
may be we need to divide navy in to two different commands and combine pmsa and cost guards specially with gawardar coming operational we cant just keep worrying about india only we will have to keep our hand on Iranians throat as well . TOO many suppliers might create a similar issue like we have got with our helicopters where we got too many different types of helicopters from different suppliers .

Any update on the opv purchase

Are we getting 1 or 2??? and which one is it??

I think just 1

 

[syed_yusuf]

What is the role of an OPV. Should it be armed with anti ship and anti air missiles. What about torpedos etc. Can it carry armed helicopter for anti sub and/ or anti ship missiles.

Is PN planning to armed them with any quality of defensive weapons to control sea lines of communication?

 

[TOPGUN]

Do we know yet what ship is it going to be ?

 

[syed_yusuf]

How many will they order

Is it just one being built at ksew

What weapon system

What weapon system

2

One in NL, one in Pakistan

Likely, Aselsan SMASH 30mm RWS on the A deck,two GPMGs on both sides just behind the bridge and a 50 caliber gun facing aft above the helo deck.

[syed_yusuf]

So no anti sub missiles or anti air missiles or anti sub torpedos?

No, it will be a coast guard vessel.

 

[syed_yusuf]

No, it will be a coast guard vessel.

i thought it is for navy
and with the specs u shared it seems that the weapon fit will be very similar to 95m corvette under construction for PMSA

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

A different design will take me some time to accept this ship

You're not getting any Holland class OPVs.

 

[TOPGUN]

You're not getting any Holland class OPVs.

Any clues on which one it can be ?
