View attachment 8389

Pakistan Navy is siad to procure two built in China and a third built in Pakistan, with it possibly being referred to by PN as a corvette.

Bangladesh Navy has apparently ordered two to be built in China, while 5 smaller displacement craft of 250 tons being built in Bangladesh Navy's own dockyard

Specs:

1 x Chinese AK-176M 76.2 mm,
4 x 2 C-802A anti-ship missiles,

NEW Type i.e. NOT Type 037-II (when I find a better type indication, I'lll let you know)

Apparantly the original source is from Bangladesh:
http://www./forum/index.php?/topic/194073-pn-new-corvette/page__view__findpost__p__326413

This gives as specs:


Principal Technical Parameters (Very similar to Houjian-class)

Displacement, tons: 528 (empty)
Dimensions, meters: 58.4 X 8.2 X 4.8 (L X W X D)
Main engines: 3 diesel engines
(10,642 kW, 3 shafts)
Speed, knots: 28
Cruising range, miles: 3,000 at 14 knots
Complement: 37

Main weapon systems and electronic equipment

Missiles: 4 SSM (2 double launchers)[C-704]
Guns: 1 X 76 gun + 1 X 630 gun
EW: 1 X EW system
Radars: 1 X surface search radar
1 X navigational radar
1 X tracking radar
1 X optronic tracker
MFC: 2 sets

Possibly those are spects for the BN, not PN (compared to CGI, note: just a single instead of a pair of secondary guns, 2x2 instead of 2x4 AShM)

The secundary guns may be stealth shielded AK630s rather than the 25mm gun that I posted pics of. Or a twin gun mount found on som PLA Army naval craft (e.g. Type 529), which mates the base of an AK630 with a twin AAA gun (either russian 23mm or indigenous 25mm development)

Even the US Navy is worried about swarms of cheap Type 022 FAC against their blue water fleet. These things (and the C-803 they carry) can be devastating against something much weaker like IN.

Type 022 isn't a 500-600 ton FAC. PN isn't looking for 'swarms'. Off topic.

 

[jupiter2007]

I hope it's similar to this one.

 

[TOPGUN]

Do we have any idea as of so far which one it will be ?

Types of these FAC's isn't confirm till now. We will have to wait to find out the exact type.

Beijing: China on Tuesday formally began the construction of two state-of-the-art fast attack missile crafts for the Pakistan Navy in addition to several naval frigates it is building for its close strategic partner.

The keel-laying ceremony of Fast Attack Craft FAC(M) of Pakistan Navy was held at Xinggang Shipyard in China's Tianjin city today.

Pakistan Navy has signed a contact with China Shipbuilding & Offshore International Company Limited (CSOC) for construction of two state-of-the-art missile crafts which will be equipped with latest weapons and sensors.

The ceremony was attended by Vice Admiral Tanveer Faiz Ahmed of the Pakistan Navy, official Pakistan news agency APP reported.

According to the arrangement, one craft would be built in Tianjin while the other would be constructed at Pakistan’s Karachi docks.

The first craft was expected to join the force in October this year. There is no word about the financial arrangements for the construction of the two vessels.

China, a major supplier of weapons systems to Pakistan, is involved in a host of defence projects with its close ally.

These included development of new fighter jet JF-17 Thunder which is being produced in both the countries with engines supplied by Russia.

China is also constructing a number of naval frigates for the Pakistan Navy which so far took delivery of three frigates and the fourth one is being constructed with Chinese cooperation in Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works.

The commencement of the construction of the new missile boats followed the visit of Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of the Pakistan Army, Gen. Khalid Shameem Wynne last week to take part in the eighth round of security dialogue between the two countries.

The talks focussed on finalisation of new projects to expand their defence cooperation as well as steps for timely completion of ongoing projects.

China begins construction of missile crafts for Pak Navy

hmm what Naval Frigates might those be ... hmmm

 

[Pak_Sher]

Pakistan needs to increase defence spending for the Navy and the Naval Air Command also needs to be expanded. Air Support for PN's naval assets is as important as the naval assets themselves.

 

[Kompromat]

Which craft is it?
