The Pakistan Navy operates a fleet of two 2,300-tonne Yarmook-class OPVs that were commissioned in February and November 2020, respectively.

The vessels, PNS Yarmook and PNS Tabuk, were also built by Damen Shipyards at its Galati facility.

bit surprised Pakistan did not do ToT and do the building at KSEW in line with PNs traditional way of buying warships

they aren't that busy and docks are not exactly full there was space alongside the MILGEM to assemble two OPVs

never the less Romania is a cheap place to build and probably made more economic sense

Wow!! The character of a person or a society or an institution is best judged by how they act during the time of extreme hardship, trial and tribulation when everything is visibly going against them. Pak is definitely passing through such a phase being extended for a long period of time. However, the PAF and PN are unabatedly increasing their capabilities for the hard power is what matters....

This seems like an ideal choice to design and to manufacture with Chinese help
