The first of two corvettes on order for the Pakistan Navy (PN) has been launched at the facilities of Dutch shipbuilder Damen in Galati, Romania.

The service announced on its Facebook page that the 2,300-ton vessel, which had been previously described as an offshore patrol vessel (OPV), entered the water on 17 May in a ceremony held at the shipyard in Romania and attended by PN Vice Admiral Abdul Aleem, among others.

The contract for the two vessels was signed in June 2017, with the first corvette expected to enter service by the end of 2019, and the second one set to be delivered by mid-2020, according to the navy.

Vice Adm Aleem was quoted as saying during the ceremony that these platforms "will act as force multipliers in enhancing [the] navy's capability of safeguarding maritime frontiers and will offer more flexibility in the conduct of [the] Pakistan Navy's initiative of independent Regional Maritime Security Patrols in the Indian Ocean Region".

The multirole corvettes have been previously described by the PN as "state-of-the-art vessels" especially suited for anti-surface, anti-air, and maritime security operations.

Each of them features a helicopter pad to facilitate search-and-rescue missions, as well as surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations. No further details were provided about the systems or weapons set to be fitted onto the class.

The Pakistan Navy (PN) has received the second of two ATR-72 twin-engine turboprops converted into maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) under a contract signed in 2015.

In a 10 July press release Germany-based company Rheinland Air Service (RAS) said that it handed over the second example of the type, which is now known as the RAS 72 Sea Eagle, during a ceremony held at RAS headquarters in Mönchengladbach shortly after the platform was introduced to the general public at the Paris Air Show 2019, which was held from 17 to 23 June.

The first aircraft, which was handed over by RAS in June 2018, re-entered service with the PN on 12 December 2018 in a ceremony held at naval air station PNS Mehran in Karachi (both ATR-72s had previously been in service with the PN as transports).

The RAS 72 Sea Eagle is equipped with a long-range, active electronically scanned array (AESA) multimode radar, as well as electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensors to deliver aerial, maritime, and ground surveillance, according to RAS.

The platform also features an acoustic processing system, sonobuoy launchers, a broadband satellite communications system, an electronic support measures suite, a self-protection suite, and two weapon hard-points, enabling anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and maritime patrol capabilities. The PN's two RAS 72 Sea Eagles also feature Aerodata's mission management system, called AeroMission, for ASW.

"The variety of state-of-the-art on-board sensors enable operators and decision makers to detect and identify sensitive targets above or below the surface of the ocean, while transmitting all the information captured on-board in real-time to the dedicated command centre," said the company, adding that the RAS 72 Sea Eagle offers operational flexibility as it can be used not only for ASW and maritime patrol missions but also for search-and-rescue and other humanitarian operations.

Do we know the specs of the AESA on board, and without a MAD, how effective will it be in the detection of subs.

Pn did order or already received third platform or Atr-72 but was not upgraded correct ??

Do we know the specs of the AESA on board, and without a MAD,

with Radar range of 320 NM (570+ KM) it can keep track on vessel at edge of Pakistan's EEZ which at its maximum limit is 350 NM

I would request you to plz post the source of the image

Gentlemen @Quwa / @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Arsalan @cabatli_53

it appears they have decrease the number of anti-ship missiles from 16 to 8 and made room for VLS modules at the front

These pictures belong to model ships made by a friend of mine who is professionally involved in model shipbuilding and are officially assigned by the platform manufacturer.

The photos have been posted on his Linked-in account only for his contacts, and I don't prefer to disclose them at this stage because of being afraid of jeopardizing his work but, hey in the following days it'll be un-covered more and more i guess.

At first glance, I noticed:
2x8 16 Cells (can go up to 64 if quad packed) Vertical Launchers at the back side of main gun.
By the way, the main gun is 76 mm Oto-Malera despite it looks like a different gun.
RAM is gone, replaced by Korkut-Naval.

Clearly shows 16 VLS!!

This is good news. Specially if a quad-pack(able) missile becomes available in future this platform will acquire a formidably AAD capability.
