3rd FAC: PNS Himmat Commissioning Ceremony

[HRK]

Azmat is neither fast nor that stealthy according to modern standards.

'adequately' capable ...

 

[Penguin]

There is CIWS gun on back side, probably for preventing some AntiShip Missiles but if RAM launcher can be put than why you think PN did not put it ? RAM would have improve the performance of Ship ..

I'ld stick the RAM launcher forward: best firing arc. Since RAM can also engage surface targets, that's a good division of fire power all around

Behind the launcher is a crane ?? Usually there are smaller fast boats on the back for boarding other ships and patrols etc and crane to put it at sea??? Or in some case they slide back like on azmat fac, crane means they are heavier or the sliding back option is not being used and needed to be lifted and put to sea

But Crane type eqpt also on azmat fac so it's for reloading missile launchers

For comparison

Yes, that's a crane and a boat-slide. No way such a small crane would assist in loading the anti-ship missiles though: it is too small and it's location relative to launchracks would be a problem.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

air force and navy are becoming indigenous weapons systems forces but army is lagging behind.
I hope after 20 years we will be one of the biggest exporters of weapons.

 

[Syed_Adeel]

Primary design changed. MTC design finally in PN.
Sorry for bad quality images.

What is MTC ?

 

[Basel]

But given the radar coverage indians have through air and surface ship ,,, will it be really effective ? I mean will these boats will get a chance to go close enough to shoot without putting themselves in danger ?

It's not easy to identify a boat of this size as military or civilian in dense shipping in Arabian Sea.

 

[abrar khan]

What is MTC ?

Seems to be Maritime Technologies Complex, please correct if its something else.
National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) was formed in 2001 by amalgamating the National Development Complex, Air Weapons Complex, Maritime Technologies Complex and the Project Management Organization.

In the early 2000s, NESCOM rapidly achieved several firsts. Among them, was the development of the Shaheen family of missiles, the Babur ground-launched cruise missile and the Ra'ad air-launched cruise missile.

 

[syed_yusuf]

Why can't it carry 8 ssm

 

[HRK]

Why can't it carry 8 ssm

Supposedly Zarb missile is heavier than C-802

 

[Muhammad Omar]

How many of these boats are planned???

8?? 9??

 

[nomi007]

it was better if
babur was integrate

 

[S.Y.A]

But given the radar coverage indians have through air and surface ship ,,, will it be really effective ? I mean will these boats will get a chance to go close enough to shoot without putting themselves in danger ?

Zarb missile may very well be a locally produced version of C-602, and it has a range of 280 km. Certainly more than enough to shoot without putting the boats in danger.

 

[Aawish]

PN will soon run out of decent names, better give alphabatic+numeric names to small ships, and reserve special names for some big ships like frigates, corvettes, destroyers, submarines etc.

 

[Inception-06]

shoot and scoot works if the vessel is fast and/or stealthy. Azmat is neither fast nor that stealthy according to modern standards.

For the south asian war theater it will work very fine in combination with the whole naval warfare machine of Pakistan !

Radar coverage....maybe. But can they make out an Azmat from among other vessels on radar? At what range?

Zarb launcher look different than c602 on Chinese destroyer
