PN will probably replace the Sea King Mk-45s in the next 4/5 years.

Well for surface vessels only type 054AP is something. We need something like Type 54D aue Type 55As far back as I can remember the navy has not had such a procurement bonanza for decades if ever, so heres a list
4 x MILGEM 2,300 ton corvettes steel for first unit cut 29th Sep 2019 with 54 month delivery time for first unit so around Spring 2024
4 x Type 054AP 4,000+ ton frigates steel for second unit cut 20th Dec 2018 and all 4 due to be handed over by 2021
8 x S20 2,800 ton SSK due between 2021-2028
2 x OPV 2,300 ton from Damen first launched in May 2019 both due to be handed over in 2020
3,000 Ton Oceanographic vessel launched in Dec 2018 by China due to be handed over soon
thats 19 units over 55,000 tons of warships and submarines coming between 2019-2028 or 10 years with average of 2 per year
For missiles
Second strike Babur III, Coastal defence Zarb and JF17 with anti-ship missiles 2 squadrons
Good times ahead and plenty to watch
Which aerial plateforms?You missed these:
Azmat Class FACs
Augusta 90 submarine getting upgraded
Aerial platforms getting upgraded
With 16 cells HQ 16 Milgem Corvettes will be a good force too even much better than todays F22P Frigates of PN plus in 2020-2030 decade 4 F22P frigates are expected to go through upgrades as well becoming almost 054A/P frigates .Well for surface vessels only type 054AP is something.

Milgem will be having Chineese SAM?With 16 cells HQ 16 Milgem Corvettes will be a good force too even much better than todays F22P Frigates of PN plus in 2020-2030 decade 4 F22P frigates are expected to go through upgrades as well becoming almost 054A/P frigates .
Rather than the number of platforms, most important thing here is Pakistan navy will experience a significant increase in capability.You missed these:
Azmat Class FACs

Yep. ESSM equivalent Chinese lo-to-medium air defense system. CIWS system is expected to be Aselsan Gökdeniz. A broad Turkish-Chinese partnership is expected in Jinnah class light frigate's all navionics.Milgem will be having Chineese SAM?
There is no Type-54D, just Type-54/A/B are, Type-55 is overpowering the capability of PN, Type-52D or E will more suitable to PN (3-4) @Syed Hammad AhmedWell for surface vessels only type 054AP is something. We need something like Type 54D aue Type 55
Upgradation of F22P was also on the cards. Any updates on that ?As far back as I can remember the navy has not had such a procurement bonanza for decades if ever, so heres a list

No you're wrong about the timings. The post below puts explains it nicely and now I remember reading on PDF and he also included the reference so you cannot deny it.Because Milgum will be heavily upgraded variant thus demanding more R&D and hence more time. Plus, the production capacity of China is far ahead of Turkey.
Contract was signed on 05 July 2018 and according to Turkey’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) the first PN corvette will be built in 54 months from the current date with the remaining three due within 60, 66 and 72 months respectively.
So with that all four ships shall be delivered to the PN by 2024.
1st Ship - Jan 2023
2nd Ship - July 2023
3rd Ship - Jan 2024
4th Ship - July 2024.

Yes it was confirmed by CNS Admiral Zafar Mehmood Abbasi to Turkish media in Aman 2019 exercise . first it was thought that only 4th Ship ( Jinnah class ) will have HQ 16 but now all four will have HQ 16 . u can check Quwa n Turkish sources as well .Milgem will be having Chineese SAM?
What about the new Chinese Z-20? Couldn't PA, PAF and PN get TOT for those and use them for all 3 services like the US, with its Seahawks?PN will probably replace the Sea King Mk-45s in the next 4/5 years.
The main contender is AW-101.
