Pakistan - Turkey , Transfer of Naval Technology MOU

[Signalian]

PN already has TOT in Frigates (Type-053/Zulfiqar) and Small Corvettes (Type-037/Azmat) from China.

 

[ziaulislam]

In some distance future... I hope Bd can join us as well and have a strong navy in bay of Bengal

Lol

 

[war&peace]

Lol

I mean in post-Hasina era ...when someone reasonable comes into power who bring Bd out of influence of Gangadesh and turns it into an independent sovereign state.

MILGEM Contract includes “Complete ToT & Transfer of Intellectual Proprietary Rights for the design of these ships to Pakistan.

The situation mentioned here is not a sub-license, but the subjects that Pakistan will need to design its entirely own ships . Also I would like to remind that the entire infrastructure upgrade of the related shipyard is part of this project.

I am very impatient to see how the 4th ADA class designed and built in Pakistan will be.. some say it will be called Jinnah class which might have some input from I-Class .

the contract includes “complete transfer of technology and the transfer of intellectual proprietary rights for the design of these ships to Pakistan.”

This is a very important clause and PN will be able to continue to build more of the same/modified vessels of the same class.

The 4th ship -- i.e. Jinnah class -- can't be the sole ship of its class. So is the idea now to replace the F-22Ps with the Jinnah class through the 2030s?

I would hope that would be the case (unless f-22p undergo considerable upgrades to sensors and weapon systems. That being said, my suspicion is that they will be I-class Frigates, but with only 16 cells, PN desperately needs to seek out a medium range quad packed solution for SAMs. With space for 16 AShM, there is ample space for both AShM and LACM (8 and 4 respectively as standard load).

Not necessarily. The Jinnah-class frigate could also be the LF-2400 or some other lengthened variant of the MILGEM Ada. In fact, that would make the most sense seeing that ASFAT still frames the four ships as MILGEM Ada (i.e., the corvettes and one Jinnah-class frigate are from the same core platform). But the LF-2400 would still bring 12 or 16 VLS cells (likely big enough for the HISAR-O, Umkhonto EIR, Aster-15, or CAMM).

You are correct in reminding us about LF-2400 as a likely design, but i would say that makes the need of a medium ranged quad-packed SAM (like CAMM) more urgent.

never gonna happen, BD is firmly in the Hindutva camp.

No.
Jinnah class will be developed along side the F-22P Batch 1 & Batch II.

 

[khanasifm]

F22 induction in 2010ish and pn still has 1960-70 ships in service so 50-60 years average life span of a ship
