We may end up with 8 F-22s and 4 OHPs, if Turkey can help us integrate all of them, 12 frigates fully networked with Maritime aviation assets like P-3C orion HAWKEYEs, JF-17 Block-II, ZDK-3 awacs and five AIP rather okay subs, makes a good little fighting navy.

Well $65 million seems a bit expensive considering these are 35+ years old ships. Also we got an 16000 tons second hand US navy' LPD in around $48 million. Anyway congrats if deal is signed.
PS: If delivered then how many years will it serve PN?

what about 20 30 years old Aircraft Carrier now vikramdtya ?

Pakistan will also decommiwion 3 out of 6 Tariq class frigates by 2016.
So PN frigate fleet size will remain same

That'd be a good surface fleet with considerable firepower when thinking Pakistan's coastlines, especially thinking the AIPs. When your gonna get them btw

Its a matter of principle , the man was an agent working against the state god knows what else he was up to may be took blood samples from Kiyani and Americans are not making a clone Kiyani (our ex army cheif)

The * fine prints is very difficult to satisfy

a) Release a traitor, can you imagine tomorrow a nurse is hired in hospital to assassinate a political leader

b) Help with supply routes what are chances of that happening ?
c) Keep the war going internally in Pakistan

For mere $240 Million dollar frigates

If we have a prisoner exchange treaty then yes no harm

What principle? Which principle Pakistan follows. This traitor like Hussain Haqqani will be walking free in a few days spewing hatred & malice against Pakistan from a foreign country.

We have 5 augosta class subs with AIP. They are the only AIP subs in the Indian ocean so far. :D

The plan is to either acquire 3 U_214s or 6 Chinese AIP subs. Some say that they are the Qing class subs with a displacement of 6000 tonnes, however according to Janes reports the sub Pakistan is looking at is in the 'development stages'.

Type 214 would be good. We've ordered 6 of them. They're being build in Turkey that they will have Turkish systems. Wiki says, it's likely to classify them as Type-214TN's. Damn!!! I love our submarine fleet :D

@ Indians

Please stop the titflashing contest!!!!

Interesting, and what about the other conditions? They might even want Pakistan to oust/dismantle Haqqani network. Would that be something Pakistan would be willing to do? The conditions are so generic that America may want a lot out of Pakistan in return for this frigates.

Are these frigates worth it?




You missed the part where the President is authorized to waive any of these Certifications....
