How capable are our Zulfiqar class frigates? In my opinion they look outdated. If funds are availabe they should be replaced by more capable and modern frigates.

They are today and also after the ( when ) MLU a good force multipliers.

PS: Yes, they seem out dated, but then again they are not lead or capital ships.

IMO Zulfiqar should be pulled back from the frontlines and turned into ASW frigates for littoral defense.

Realistically, they will not be able to survive in a high-intensity conflict. What we would want to do with them is to give them an area of responsibility where they can operate securely under the umbrella of the PN's more capable assets.

Though we should arm them with Harbah, this way, they can stay out of the reach of IN surface ships, while still being able to strike first. All of this, while patrolling our coastline with a capable hull-mounted and towed array sonar, alongside some sort of torpedo countermeasure. This, IMO is the best use for these ships.

Won't be that small in a couple years. If anything it would be among the largest in the world.

It seems still like a lot of top brass, and it seems like we have senior officers who may cover the same thing

We have 5 3-star posts and 30 2-Star posts, equivalent of having 5 Lt Generals and 28 Major Generals.

Yet we only have around 10 major surface ships, 5 subs, 10 planes and obviously coast guard/Marines. Anyone else not consider this very top heavy?

For comparison Royal Navy have 27 2-Stars and are twice the size of PN plus 2 carriers and 4 nuke subs.

Good analysis.. it seems all three armed forces are top heavy
