Sir,

It is not as simple as that-----. A couple of years ago china told Pakistan to take a hike----they were tired of helping and pak politicians stealing----. 4 years ago the americans said the same thing---.

South china seas issue started on one side----ISIS issues popped up on the other side----now both these countries are selling again----from china we have a carte blanche----from the U S we could have had the same if we could have delivered 3 to 4 div of military to Saudi Arabia and emirates---.

Options with germans are open as well and the French might be back in action once they come out of the trance of having been molested and DRY raped by the indians----.

The 6 FAC China has commiited with Pakistan are Azmat class or anything else? If it is Azmat then surely it will be produced in Pakistan.

When you cant have something you do without it. You will rely on CIWS to shoot down any approaching missiles ,but cannot do much against multiple attacks

True, that is why PN should extend the size of Azmat class boats and add FM-3000 SAMS in VLS configuration which comes with AESA radar, search radar should be upgraded too, in NCW environment it will create 2nd tier after MR/LR SAMS like LY-80E or HQ-9 in future.

Edit :

Also is it better to get these CIWS from Russia with possible upgrades for our Azmat class MB and other surface assets, along with FM-3000 it will be good air defence for MBs in extreme hostile and unfavourable conditions.

At that point the Navy would be better off just investing in a corvette design, like the 1500 ton one on offer by CSOC. What you're asking for can easily be configured onto this kind of platform, and in turn, still have room for upgrades and additions in the future. We could also use this design as a basis for an OPV, or maybe buy it as an OPV that can - in times of war - be transformed into a proper multi-mission corvette.

Azmat class could well benefit from installation of one or two remote contral MANPADs stations. E.g. the Russian Gibka, the French Sadral or Simbad-RC or the Turkish BORA Naval Pedestal Mounted Air Defense System. These typically are bolted onto the deck and require no deck-penetration.

Or swap out the front twin cannons for a mount like the Oto Melara Mod 584 MARLIN-WS and slap on some MANPADS

I don't know why the Pakistani Navy does not give the air defence of his ships more priority, may be its a question of Budge, but compared to the other Bullshit what the Navy have bought for example the P-3C Orions and ATRS this and all the ships are useless without a strong air defence !
