Pakistan developing maritime doctrine

Let's be realistic, many countries with better economy don't even have all that. With current corrupt politicians taking turns destroying every government assest, it's impossible for Pakistan to afford half of it.

Pakistan current Naval Inventory:

Destoryer: Currently Pakistan has no destroyer - Pakistan need 2 to 4 destoryers by 2025. Type-052D, Type 055 destroyer, Turkish Destroyer and Sejong the Great-class destroyers.

Four F-22P Zulfiqar class Multipurpose frigate - Pakistan is in need of 8 heavy Frigates, 6 multiple purpose Frigate and 2 air defence Frigate (example - Turkish TF-2000 class air defence frigate)

Five Tariq class Frigate: Pakistan may still keep some of these active as a coastal defence.

Corvette: Pakistan needs 6 modified Ada class corvette.

Fast Attack Craft, three Azmat Class - Pakistan needs 12 Fast Attack Craft.

Missile Boat: Pakistan needs 10 Type 22 missile boat and newer design missile boat between 300 to 600 tons.


Acquiring Surplus Ships might not be a bad idea.

Type 23 Frigate (HMS Argyll,HMS Lancaster and HMS Iron Duke) might be available from UK, decommission probably between 2018-2022.

D'Estienne d'Orves-class aviso from Turkey, decommission probably between 2018-2022.

Cassard class, Georges Leygues class from France, decommission probably between 2018-2022.

Göteborg-class corvette from Swedish Navy, decommission probably between 2018-2022.

Santa María class from Spain, decommission probably between 2018-2022.




Pakistan and China can share naval base in Gwadar, also Airbase can also have Chinese planes.

These ships I think were not available for export , I think I have not seen China sell these ships to any one yet, we did get some old OHP and some smaller frigate ships F22P but for a country like k ours , the area to patrol is huge

At some point there was discussion of getting few lease ships , however the process did not come to a meaningful conclusion

Which is why we have started to see discussions happening for smaller ships which we presently are committed to such as the Fast Attack platform
 
I just read the lawvbecause i wasnot aware with it. Foregin military ship only perform limited peacetime operations in some1 eez in war time between 2 bordering countries no eez remain
it is possible there are some restrictions in the EEZ. But i think it is country specific
 
Pakistan should partner with turkey in tf2000, get few tf100 frigates, & try to get 3 type 214 submarines from germany with tot ...and if possible then get su35 for navy 2 squadrons r enough
