Could you maybe tell me what makes this ship so special. I've heard Pakistani media say it will be effective against India.
But I didn't understand what exactly is in it?
Also this is PLAN premier flagship right?
Historically Pakistan navy has always purchased second hand, decades old western warships, something decades old obviously isn't suitable for fighting in any modern battlefield, in any time period.
These acquisitions are all new warships with latest technologies, they may not be top notch, but they are good enough to take on India, which is Pakistan's main concern. Plus, these are far more capable then anything Pakistan has ever had.
Consider it as the F16 moment for the Pakistan navy. We are not only acquiring just these warships but also the knowhow to build our own warships in the future.
Evolution is never a one giant leap, it is always about making incremental steps. These days, Pakistan navy is right on the money.
