Pakistan navy post 2020 - Future Plans

The type 54AP is different from the regular type 54 in the Chinese navy.

Yep, Type 054A/P is more powerful than the Type 054A in PLAN.

Two Type 21s - PNS Badr and PNS Babur were decommissioned years back; the target in the recent exercise could be one of these two or even a third...

Getting the type 54, a modified one at that was not a easy job as the Chinese were very reluctant to share their top of the line system even with Pakistan. The type 54AP is different from the regular type 54 in the Chinese navy.

Well than it would be more probable that they change our design like I said

Yep, Type 054A/P is more powerful than the Type 054A in PLAN.

Does China have a VLS which is a Universal one I mean if mission requires it can carry Cruise Missiles and if mission requires it Carry Air Defence ???

Our Navy should have asked for these VLS to be placed on our Type 54, yes it would have required making changes in front section of Type 54 but it would have been worth it. @Rashid Mahmood @Path-Finder

Would China share Type 052D with us like Type 054?

What I know they have been discussed with China but we would not have needed them if we would have played smart and asked China to place those VLS in our Type 54 which are placed in Type 52 D and Type 55 Destroyers

What missiles do you have for the VLS?

I have no idea thats why i was asking....................

 

[Zarvan]

What missiles do you have for the VLS?

We can develop long range Babur for that. 1500 KM Babur can and should be developed. In mean while we can keep using them with Air Defence but option should be their. Universal VLS gives us option

What are the advantages of VLS over other? We have Babur's Anti Ship Variant Harbah

With you having VLS you can develop a 1500 to 2000 KM range Cruise Missile and those VLS can carry them

Why don't develop your own VLS according to your missiles?
