They received some modifications but not the Mid Life Upgrade.
Can you clarify what modifications were done?

I'm wondering if the mystery SAM on the OPV-II is the same one... IRIS-T SL/SLM.
I am wondering who is doing logistics for Pak Military if they go for IRIS-T SLM. It just makes zero sense to me when the nation operates HQ-16 (Land and Sea) and will be operating CAMM-ER why they would add a 3rd variant to the mix? Especially from a cost effectiveness standpoint to drive the unit costs for down for weapons, you deploy them in numbers. Additionally, the CAMM-ER while larger (4m vs 3m and 190mm diameter vs 130mm) is a longer range missile.

Lastly, i dont see the acquisition of IRIS-T because to my knowledge (and please correct me if im wrong), IRIS-T is not navalized. That is to say i dont believe any nation has deployed it on ships. There is a sub launched variant called IDAS but i doubt it is for surface vessel use. It has land based variants (SLS and SLM) but i haven't found (in a cursory search) any ship launched model, nor any naval customer. All German ships use either SM-2/ESSM or two 21cell RAM mk2.

I think any SAM on a DAMEN will have to be Albatross NS/CAMM-ER as it will be married to the SMART-S mk2 like on the Baburs. Whether these see their way to F-22P, Im not sure, but given Algerian C-28 corvettes (which were based on F-22P) operate Thales' SMART-S mk2, i would imagine any future MLU for the F-22P include a GENSIS Advent Upgrade with Aselsan's SMART-S mk2, Alper LPI radar, the Advent CMS, Ares-2NC ECM or GIDS Rebat ECM, and Hizir torpedo countermeasures and subsequently see a replacement of the FM-90 with Albatross NG. (probably 12-16 single cells). I would prefer an 8 cell Sylver A50 but it doesn't seem ti be in the cards. I imagine we could also see replacement of the 8 C-802A with 6 Harbah or CM-302 as well.

Agree. 1X6 cell or 2X4 cell module shall be ample.

That's a comprehensive package but will be subjected to Chinese approval and availability of funds.
We should also look at humble option. Like simple replacement of FM-90 with PMDS, and upgrades in EW and defensive countermeasures. In same line as PLAN upgraded their only pair of Type-54.

Yeah, an update with two 24 cell launchers (akin to how the German ships are utilizing RAM- 1 in front, 1 in rear over the hangar) would be the cheaper route... More likely 1 launcher like the Type 054s.
