The present growth in PN capabilities is phenomenal, This is mostly due to fact that Pakistan had a small Navy but in last few decades our maritime boundaries have grown additional ports developed and china factor resulted a change in fundamentals of maritime security.
Additional factor is...
PN is acquiring 8 such ships. it would be such a waste of resources for country like Pakistan to use them for limited operations. These will more likely be equipped with latest home grown weapons and will have decent firepower.
As PN is working on different missile capabilities theses larger...
20 Gun boats confirmed by out going PN chief.
Although these boats will be small but overall nubers are big. interesting thing to note is title i.e. Gun boats.
No detail out yet but if they go far a boat around 180 to 200 T class it definatly will give PN a big capabalities. Just wating for...
Kashmir class looks more promising. It is simple decent sized to operate both near shore or in open waters. PN must look at it as a future missile ship in place of Azmat class ship as pn is looking to improve missile capabilities. A larger than Azmat class ship will be needed to operate our...
keeping in view that next turkish ship is TF 2000. which is around 7000T and the fact PN is developing various missile including BM. which need a bigger ship.
Jinnah class could be a Pakistani version of TF 2000 effectively a destroyer??
It might have been in the selection process as the numbers do match I.e. 8 ships. Another hint is the procurement of PMSA. the kashmir class looks based on Type 56. PN might have been looking at the ship at that time. However PN preferred Damen OPV.
But still with Pakistan Nay looking to...
With additional 6 damen Ships now confirmed. what is the status of these ships.
On another note if we compare them with Yarmook class. Apparently it seems Type 56 layout is more suitable for weapons integration.
Marines and special forces will most likely be deployed along the eastern coast border with Indian.
Un like China and Turkey who are looking at open sea operations in tiwan and syprus and other island's Pakistan Marines will most likely operate closer to land hence do not need larger landing...
These are pretty much done deals /finalize projects. PN will have 50 ship navel force by 2025.
J class is future so may be its additional to theses 20 ships keeping in mind that F22p are hardly 10 year into service. It sure will be a really lavish thing if we retired them so early.
Beyond...
Recently visited Lahore. While on Azadi chowk flyover what I noticed is the fact that there are to much concrete structures in our cities.
Lahore like many other cities needs clean up. They need to demolish all those buildings in front of Minara e Pakistan and badshahi Mosque. lahore needs...
There seems to be two different philosophies followed. One is based on a complete system. Where PN is looking completely outward i.e Turkey and China. In such case PN is acquiring ships with a complete set of system may be add few of our own weapons but mostly out sourced purchase.
The second...
most of the pictures seemed to be related to different design studies. and its quite logical since it is about aviation city.
The most automatic image is at 39.26 minutes in video as it is some sort of a monogram or a souvenir.
The final product most likely will resemble something like a...
won't comment on Iran's ability to produce this ship.
But it looks really good design. decent sized ship with pretty much excellent weapons load. Would really appreciate if we could get some thing similar.
62 VSL is huge. and if you can fit in LACM or ASCM this thing will be a menace in enemy...
travelling from islamabad to pindi gheb. Got little experience of the road. This was second time on this road. First in November 2019'
But I really am so disappointed that its still not complete. At least they should have completed the islamabad to Mianwali section.
We recently inducted 1500 ton Ships for PMSA. If one wants to build local industry than why not use same design and improve it locally just as they did with Azmat class.
After the picture on C 130 and model in PAF chiefs meeting I guess it should be clear that till no PAF is looking at a completely plan from F 31 and TFX.
However induction of either F 31 or TFX doesn't mean AZAM is dead. Just like UK buying F 35 doesn't mean Eurofighter os tempest is dead.
from a sane mind it possible is perfectly placed to be inducted in PAF. However what future holds one cannot say. may be we are offered SU 57, F 35 or Chinese develop a new aircraft that is an uncertainty. otherwise wise it looks complete plausible.
for one JF 31 is a medium size conceived as...
