My thought process is well thought of
- Firstly the ships are not very old they are from 90's and early 2000's as they had been modernized by China
- Pakistan's Military is still flying Cobra fleet from 1970's so the argument of old or new is really not that important
The Ship itself is a carrier of weapons , you can install any modern generation weapon on a Ship with local Engineering. It can be done faster and efficiently with local Engineering
The Ship can serve the 5-8 year period fill gap role while the full assets arrive in Pakistan Navy
- Electronical Systems , can be modernized
- We got our Dinosaur OHP frigates , which came barebone and these were modernized , there is no difference between OHP and the Chinese Ships they are roughly in same generation group
If you put Herba on Azmat or any Ship what does the missiles care , it just needs a target from Sensors and Radars. So any ship can be made modern by means of Weapons upgrade.
Our 1970's Mirage fleet is flying with modernized weapons
