Pakistan in talks for 4 Ada Class Corvettes, T-129 Helicopters & modernization of agosta fleet

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Welcomed addition modest improvement

Pakistan shouldn't go for this, we need better ships with good displacement so they can house Air defence, Govt should delay the program for few years or cut the numbers for now and buy in phases, but plz get worthy ships and not sitting ducks for IAF. i am all for type 54A or Istanbul class ..

With ly-80 production moving to Pakistan i hope we can make decent AAW ships available for our naval forces.

When did that happen

When did that happen

Can't remember exactly now. But when this system was officially inducted it was said also on this forum that the deal included TOT. My bad if it was wrong.

 

[khanasifm]

It was a US report which stated Ly 16 also involved transfer and assembly or something also reported on one of the newspaper hang/dawn etc but nothing from mod or pak

Will it going to have a VLS based SAM system other than the RAAM?

Man they are still doing good. Someone here told me that USA and UK isn't going anywhere at all and they were absolutely right

As the STM LF-2400 shows, it is possible to lengthen (by 10 metres) the MILGEM Ada hull to accommodate a 16-cell VLS system. There are also affordable SAM options, such as the Denel Umkhonto. It cost Algeria $60 m to fit its two MEKO A-200AN - i.e. 32 VLS cells each - with the Umkhonto SAM.

Does Denel have it's own VLS for the Umkhonto or they use any western VLS for Umkhonto. I thought Umkhonto was the missile using the French Sylver VLS.

They had used SYLVER on the MEKO A200AN. I don't think Pakistan would have trouble acquiring the SYLVER VLS, especially SYLVER A43 and A50. But Denel has the expertise to develop its own VLS, it technically uses one in-house solution for the Umkhonto GBADS. It could just be a naval version of that system.

These VLS on Meko 200AN "El Radii" frigate do not look like SYLVER VLS at all.

I think they are the same Umkhonto specific VLS as on MEKO-200SAN Valour class

The Umkhonto system uses modules with missiles in sealed launch canisters. The sealed container has a cylindrical shape. During start, reactive gases are reflected from the bottom of the container and go straight up between the walls of the container and the body of the rocket. Spent containers are removed and replaced with a loaded container. Reloading the launcher is made either along shore, or in a calm sea using an auxiliary vessel. High reliability is achieved through the built-in self-test hardware that provides the minimum cost of maintenance staff.

For comparison: Sylver family VLS
