Quite true..
more importantly, these military to military connections still run deep and a Russia lean isn’t going to happen overnight

Mason this looks like OHP class frigate, PN is already operating one unit the other 3 were never delivered.

I am of the understanding it will be left on Loan.

I think this is ploy by you guys to spy on Pakistan naval assets. Ship must be kept away from PN base.

The US consulate in Karachi is built right on the harbor and built like a fortress. It can facilitate any USN SEALS action or any invasion they plan.

USS Mason is an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, Flight IIA class (superior to any in the world).

Very different from OHP class frigate.

They have enough bases for that. Just cordial visits aren’t to be interpreted as some conspiracy; especially when both forced enjoy a long history of training together.

I think you are referring to the incident involving Mason firing multiple multi-million dollar SM-2 missiles and decoys in response to Houti rockets fired on the ship, most of which fell short of the target and in the sea anyway. This happened on three occasions. Some of these SM-2 missiles did intercepted the home made rockets efficiently.

You were being sarcastic, right?
Initially some report claimed the last attack (5 missiles) to be carried out by Chinese AShM in which case it would have been impressive but later on it was said that these missiles were not Chinese weapons either.
