Well Delivery Time is something which stands out , in otherwise wonderful deal
However , if you consider this
- F22P was manufactured in Pakistan within 1-2 years
- Azmat Class Missile ships which are fairly large ships were also done around 1.5 years per ship for first 3 ships
- OPV done in Romanian Ship yards were done at brisk pace of 1 year or so , western tech
Yes I think so, lets look at the timeline and the best part is we have two shipyards working so the delivery will be fast

keel was laid 4th of June 2020
