Pakistan navy post 2020 - Future Plans

[Rashid Mahmood]

PN will probably replace the Sea King Mk-45s in the next 4/5 years.
The main contender is AW-101.

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

As 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

Well for surface vessels only type 054AP is something. We need something like Type 54D aue Type 55

You missed these:

Azmat Class FACs
Augusta 90 submarine getting upgraded
Aerial platforms getting upgraded

Which aerial plateforms?

Can someone provide a list of current PN vessels???

How long will Agosta 90b last???

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 .

Milgem will be having Chineese SAM?

Rather than the number of platforms, most important thing here is Pakistan navy will experience a significant increase in capability.

For example, nuclear-capable Babur SLCM makes me very excited!

Milgem will be having Chineese SAM?

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.

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 Ahmed

Upgradation of F22P was also on the cards. Any updates on that ?

Looking forward to the massive upgrade. Hopefully the economy takes off and we can go even further. I'd like to see a large, dedicated PN air wing.

 

[war&peace]

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.

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.

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 .

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?
