PN and PAF had to decide in the past over a single system. Although better for PN was to do a JV with Chinese on:
1.Baisc turbo prop trainer like Hurkus
2. 2-3 types of single engine planes like Cessna of small, medium and large class.
3. Super Air King like planes along with planes like Saab-340 and Saab-2000 which can be used as AEW&Cs, MPA and EW plane.

Pak Navy committed to pursue self reliance in warships: CNS


Saturday, March 08, 2014 - Karachi—Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Muhammad Asif Sandila said that Pakistan Navy is committed to pursue self reliance in warship construction.

Chief of the Naval Staff said this at a keel laying ceremony of 17,000 tons Pakistan Navy Fleet Tanker to be built indigenously at Karachi Shipyard & Engineering works have Friday. The Fleet Tanker will be built by KS&EW in collaboration with Savurma Teknologileri Muhendislik (STM) of Turkey. The Tanker will provide logistics support to PN units at sea through transfer of dry and liquid cargos. The ship can also undertake anti-submarine and anti-surface vessel operations through embarked helicopters. The ship can independently operate at sea for three months and will be equipped with latest medical facilities to provide limited medical support to PN units as well as during disaster relief operations. Speaking on the occasion, Admiral Sandila said that the construction of this platform is a manifestation of PN vision and commitment to pursue self reliance in warship construction. While commending the foundations of Pakistan-Turkey friendship he added that our bonds are secure and strong. The dictates of contemporary world, however, demand that we further expand our horizon and diversify our relations to include greater economic and military cooperation. “I feel that there is great potential to further exploit the avenues of mutual interest. Fleet Tanker project is a true manifestation of this very resolve of both the governments”, he added.

The Naval Chief was positive that this tanker will become the lifeline of PN fleet and continue to support it for many decades to come. Earlier, the Managing Director Karachi Shipyard & Engineering works apprised the audience of the shipbuilding capabilities of KS&EW and said that Karachi Shipyard is fully equipped with infrastructure and highly trained manpower to undertake more challenging projects like Fleet Tanker.—Online
