Exactly what I was saying. What are your thoughts of arming them with the locally developed PDMS, assuming development is successful?
Also, since ASW equipment has dramatically shrunk in size and cost, what about some basic ASW capability, since there seems to be some space in the rear? These...
Type 54s are not going to have Western systems on board.

Regarding PNS Alamgir - This is right now one very large OPV. However, is it possible that when Italian SAMs Perhaps the CAMM is introduced, it can also be fitted to PNS Alamgir? I have reasonable suspicion PN may be going for...
ECM - Electronic Counter Measures is by definition a form of EW (Electronic Warfare). To what extent the EW suite of the JF-17 is able to cancel locks depends on the effectiveness of the overall techincal capabilities of the subsystems involved - including Indra.

The small sub program has a number of components:
1. A SOF insertion capability (already taken care of)
2. A2D, defending shallow waters as @Bilal Khan 777 has outlined (requirement still there)
3. Mining of areas near enemy ports and SLOCs.
The wider SLOC can be taken care of by the larger...
So total of 12 ships getting Alper radar... could it be:
4 Milgem / Jinnah class
4 F-22P
4 Yarmook (assuming 2 more are bought)
OR
2 Yarmouk and 2 new upgraded Azmat Class.
Prussia may have survived better against Russia in the long-term. The Austro-Hungarians, once the superpower of Europe, were bound to wane. Just as India today is bound to wane.
Vast majority of my negative ratings are from an Ataturk accolite who couldn't digest the direct quotes I was using of Ataturk - showing he was anti-Islam and hated Islam and Muslims.

There seems no way to appeal against this. It seems one cannot have an opinion against idol kemal...
