The 4th one is taking a longer time because MTC and KSEW are apparently building it on their own. This isn't to say it's indigenous, but rather, MTC/KSEW are trying to build knowledge on ship design, construction and integration on their own without the help of a foreign naval solutions company. The idea is that in the future MTC/KSEW can offer their own FAC design (albeit with a mix of foreign and local components).What happened to the 4th on was it ever build
5th and 6th looks like 10 years away
Any time line that you kmow of for its completion? And shouldn't they already have gone through the learning process under the watchful eye of CSSC? What are they changing that they it is taking this long? Because this bodes poorly for MILGEM being constructed in Pakistan in any reasonable time frame amd could explain why the 3rd amd 4th 054A/P are now being built in China.The 4th one is taking a longer time because MTC and KSEW are apparently building it on their own.

Ohh. So the other one in next dockyard is azmat class?that is type21 frigate

Yes. You are right. But what is adjecent to type 21. Its smaller than type 21 and type 21 is the smallest frigate pakistan pakistan has ( length wise )Type 21 is about 123m so the smaller one as fav is ~60 m if I am not mistaken
There is not much space available for added stuff. PN would have to extend the hull design and build a new ship with higher displacement.Evolving the Azmat design could be key to Pakistan exporting Ships to other nations. In a similar manner to the JF-17, a small but affordable modern solution will allow many nations on a tight budget to utilize modern technologies to leverage these key vessels to their full capacity.
Also, I have been thinking about how this design could evolve, without having to modify the hull design by much, but adding these capabilities Bilal Khan @Quwa has mentioned.
Placing a 15 cell FL-3000N launcher on top of the bridge maybe a better location, if an integrated mast can replace the current mast and other antennas spread on top of the ship.
Similar to the Ram Launcher on top of the bridge on this South Korean Frigate

An integrated mast similar to the Gowind Corvette designs from France

The Main gun should be similar to the 40 mm Bofor option, which will allow another system that can use smart ammunition to engage different kinds of threats
A small hull mounted sonar, triple torpedo launchers on each side of the ship and a towed array can allow these ships to have limited ASW capabilities
Finally the addition of a smart Drone Helicopter system that can be launched and recovered from just above the fantail; into a smart docking system will open up the possibility to employ tactics and weapons, only large ships consider. ASW, a small early warning helicopter, anti-piracy operations, anti-ship, coast guard, search and rescue, and more.
