Pakistan navy post 2020 - Future Plans

[Ultima Thule]

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?

Z-20 is basically a medium lift TRANSPORT Heli,we are yet to see a anti sub version of Z-20 @Pakhtoon yum

 

[Vapnope]

I would like to see a dedicated attack aerial arm of Navy. 2 squadrons of JF17s blk 2 and B version will make it a force to reckon with.

One important point is the indigenous development of supersonic missile for PN as per MODP 2017-18 year book. If this is ship-borne system which might be the case most likely; then it would be requiring bigger platform – Destroyer. So; we might expect positive development regarding the procurement of Destroyers by PN in near future.

It had made its maiden flight already.

And it would be carried by Type 055 and upgraded Type 052D DDGs soon.

But testing/development not in production

Type 052D can be a real possibility 4-5 years from now for PN

2 more of each ship(not submarines) is needed. so, total 6x type 54As and Jinnah class each. plus, up-gradation of F22Ps. it is also sad to see a ship like OHP going to waste, need to upgrade that as well.

I second that , hopefully PN will order 2-4 more of each type .

 

[aziqbal]

interesting thing is the VLS count

4 x MILGEM with 16 x VLS gives =64 missiles
4 x Type 054AP with 32 x VLS = 128 missiles

Total VLS 192 missiles

whats the count on the Indian VLS for Kolkata Class, Shivalik Class and Talwar Class

PN would now have the offensive punch that was missing for a while now......IN would think twice before taking any action against Pakistan...

 

[Syed1.]

If Pakistan had any strategic sense, it would have had an expansionist navy and be the top dog of the Arabian Sea being the only nuclear armed country around the Arab peninsula and Straits of Hormuz.

 

[Rank]

Pakistan Navy logically incapable to run all this massive inductions even after 5 - 7 years... our economy is not in shape to support such heavy fleet of ships, submarines, anti systems, squadrons etc etc and etc... until unless Pakistan's economy will something around 5.5 - 6GDP + not much dependent on foreign loans... else... NOWAY!

First priority is the AW101, which is a proven platform.

At least someone has that strategic sense.

The one's serving are duffers.
