Let the type 54 A come and join PN, then next possible option would be few 52 C/D

Type 054A frigates are multirole surface combatants with about half of the class fitted with variable depth sonar and towed array sonar for anti-submarine warfare operations. As I noted before, the frigates have anti-surface capabilities and also can defend against aerial threats:

The stealth frigate is armed with HQ-16 medium range air defense missiles and boosts a 32-cell vertical launching system (VLS) in the forward section, capable of firing anti-ship and air defense missiles as well as anti-submarine torpedoes. It also features a Russian-made AK-630 fully automatic naval close in weapon system and a Chinese variant of the AK-176 76 millimeter naval gun.

(…) In addition, the ship is equipped with a Type 382 phased-array radar system and Type 344 and Type 345 multifunctional fire control radar systems, capable of over the horizon targeting.

Type 054A frigates also feature a hangar capable of accommodating Kamov K-27 and Harbin Z-9 helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). (…) The ship has a standard range of about 3,800 nautical miles—7,037 kilometers–at a speed of 18 knots, and a maximum un-refueled radius of 12,000 kilometers or 8,000 mile.

extremely expensive and relate to our relations with France and Italy, if PN consider
destroyer purchase then it would be Chinese Type- 52 variants, most probably

I think if PN wants a Destroyer then French is a good option. From Chinese, I guess Type-55 is the best one to acquire.

its depends on our relations of west and we are currently lacking $$$ to buy more expensive Destroyer from EU, Type-55 currently in production for PLAAN and i thinks its over capability for PN Type-52D has almost same capability with better long range SAMs (HHQ-9) supersonic long range anti ship Missile YJ-18 etc etc

French are expensive we can have Chinese or from UK too

A used 737-700 is about $25-30 million and cost $7-8k/hour to operate (civilian version)

A perfect aircraft to modify for use. Spares are available everywhere on the planet so no shortage there.

With EU system I believe Airbus would be an ideal no issue of spare as well along PIA

[Pakistani Fighter]

The stealth frigate is armed with HQ-16

HQ 16A or HQ 16B?

its depends on our relations of west and we are currently lacking $$$ to buy more expensive Destroyer from EU, Type-55 currently in production for PLAAN and i thinks its over capability for PN Type-52D has almost same capability with better long range SAMs (HHQ-9) supersonic long range anti ship Missile YJ-18 etc etc

4 Type 052Ds will be good. One Destroyer for each of the four formations

Would our Hangor Class will be getting YJ-18B Missile?

Actually I don't know, but by my feeling I would say no, the YJ-18 is a system I don't think China would sell

I think the Hangor SSP will start with the C-802 and Babur 3. In the long-run, the PN may look to fit them with the supersonic-cruising missile they're developing (possibly similar to the Chinese HD-1A).
