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

[Hassan Guy]

Which ASW choppers will be aquired?

 

[Blue Marlin]

i officially declare this deal dead.......rip. as so the fta too.

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

I think the A35 could fit on the azmat class.

I also fear so.
But if that's the case than another 1971 like blockade is not far away.

The deal would have been dead if there was no letter-of-intent (LoI) in place. Remember: Pakistan signed the LoI committing to buy the corvettes. The MoDP report also outlines it as a priority. It's not in motion yet, but it isn't dead either. BTW there is also a Submarine Rescue and Salvaging Vessel requirement to be dealt...

Is this Corvette planned in for 2017 construction start ?

What about the news that just came out with European corvettes?
Does that mean Turkish deal is dead?

If you're referring to the Damen OPVs then no, different requirements.

NOTHING MORE THAN requested an interest to buy in June 2017


Pakistani has expressed an interest in this Turkish corvette

I WOULD GUESS it will take 2 years to sign contract AND 5 more years to get delivery

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well new assets won't arrive for another few years that is certain

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

The original MILGEM plan (pre-Zardari) laid out a 10 year plan for the 4 corvettes. Could be similar here too.

 

[Majet Raha]

when is the first boat expected? 2020 or early?

 

[syed_yusuf]

Most probably early 2021

 

[PakShaheen79]

If there is no contract so far, then what the title of this threat refers to?
