Pakistan Builds New Missile Boat to Protect Key Trade Routes

They can use man-pads for short distance .. mostly against naval hellis or low flying slow naval planes and drones.. The main objective is to be a stealth design of the FAC..

You meam to say a 2x2 box of dk10 and 2x2 box for AshM? I think for a FAC sized ship, it is better served by gun and missile based ciws under the protection of land based fighters.

DK-10 not for Azmat class FACs but for F--22Ps and possibly newer version of FAC (if design & structure allow), but front gun of Azmat class can be replaced with customized / upgraded Kashtan CIWS and in rare FL-3000N (launcher size as per available space) can be installed, boosting AAW capability for it's intended role.
 
I think from this trade routes will be safe like CPEC .CPEC is very important project for Pakistan and China. Missile boats will protects goods from trade RIVALRY
 
What I meant was that PN should deploy DK-10 quadpack alone with FL-3000N not in VLS but as supporting primary SAM. What specs of PL-9 are?
The DK-9 missile developed from PLAAF‘s PL-9D short range air-to-air missile. It is a short range landbased air-defence missile.Wheras operational range of PL-9C is 22km (air-to-air), for DK-9 you look at > 8km (surface-to-air). Flight altitude is 4.5km (surface-to-air)

Specifications

Weight 115kg (PL-9C)
Length 2.9m (PL-9C)
Diameter 0.157m (PL-9C)
Warhead 11.8kg blast-frag, or expanding rod (RF-fuse)
Detonation mechanism laser proximity fuse
Engine Solid-fuel rocket
Wingspan 0.856m (PL-9C)
Speed Mach 2+
Guidance system multi-element infrared

What's the deference between FL-3000N and DK-9?

The FL-3000N missile is a development from the TY-90 missile. The diameter of the missile was enlarged by a third, but the most important design difference is its guidance system. Like RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile, this has dual mode guidance: Radiofrequency (RF) + imaging infrared (IIR) homing, or simply IIR only homing. (Many AShM use a radar in their final attack run, so RF-homing makes sense). TY-90 was initially developed as AAM for helicopter use, smaller than PL-9.
  • Weight 20 kg
  • Length: 2 meters (rather than 1.9 for TY-90)
  • Diameter: 0.12 meter (rather than 0.09 for TY-90)
  • Minimum range: < 500 meters
  • Maximum range: > 9 km for subsonic targets, > 6 km for supersonic targets
  • Guidance: passive RF + ImIR or ImIR only (rather than ImIR only for TY-90)

DK-9 is a development of the larger PL-9C, which is a standard SR-AAM of the PLAAF. It is IR-homing only. DK-9 is larger and heavier. It also has non-foldable wings/controls and a wide wingspan, which makes is much less suitable for multiround launcher in CIWS role.

This also quite well illustrates the size differences (same basic vehicle)

Then it means that FL-3000N is good choice for Using it with CIWS as last line of Active protection for FACs and Ships of PN.
 
Rolling airframe Missile or ram is now std anti anti ship Missile for USN

Along with new close in gun system

Mizsile range 6 and gun 2/3 km
 
its not only navy but army airforce also lack of SAMs i have no idea what top brass are up to

its better than CIWS
the thought that somebody needs to grill in our navy heads
we are still outdated in every aspect of SAM
pakistan needs an indigenous/replicated short range and medium range missile for mass production
 
At least now PAF & PA have MR-SAMs which they lacked few years back.
MR are not something thrilling sir ji . missiles must be LR that let enemy think twice before sit in cockpit
