It seem we can have good boost to our Navy but we need to increase number of Frigates and Corvettes

Navy budget isn't enough

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

3 ATR 42 - 500s have been inducted primarily in the transportation, logistics and training role. It seems that conversion to the MPA role has either been deferred or cancelled.

There was an approval for additional ATR-72-600's to be bought. What happened to that?

PN has 3 ATR72-500 not ATR 42-500.

PIA on the other hand operates Both ATR42-500 and ATR72-500.

herd that ATR72 will be converted to ASW role with turkish gadgets

That is most likely the reason ATR's were selected.

Need replacment of sea kings with NH 90 Helos

Why only NH90?
I mean there are quite a few other options too.
Like Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone of Canada, Eurocopter AS532 Cougar, Eurocopter EC725, AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat and the Chinese options .

 

[Tipu7]

Any plans to replace aging fleet of Sea Kings?

CH 148 good but our naval stupid mind wont use it with CH 148 we can use for heavy lift work too

Not in the next 5 years.
The Z-9s have reduced the load on the SKs alot, so they have some juice left in them.
