Why most export frigates from China don't have VLS launched AShM??
 
According to Chinese source from reliable site
This is what Pakistan navy is probably getting, a complete new designed 4000 class FFG with VLS, stealth features

Well in all honesty we don't have a proper Frigate and this would help with bridging the gap we need 4 ships of this magnitutde for coastal Defence

I am expecting the F22p+ FRIGATE
 
No dates were announced how long will that take to sign the deal or is it already ordered ???

he said it was already signed, but he didnt give time frame for delivery

surprisingly no mention of turkish frigates, so i think for now that could be on back ..
i guess funding will be the issue

It means ADA class will not come?
4000 tones frigate is next to air defence..if this is true it will be wonders, but why do i have feeling its gona be sub 2800 tones frigate

Including the 8-subs, it seems the total value of the naval modernization program is at least 10 billion roughly. People still think Pakistan military can’t afford big ticket items for the Air Force? @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Windjammer
all from china with loans and probably its around 5 billion not 10

PAF has been oping for f16s and concentrating on jf-17 which is a good idea(as the commonality between j-10/jf-17 is numerous)but only if 5th gen fighter is on the horizon

the indigenous solution is 15 years away may be 20 , so if we dont get J 31/j20 before 2025 than PAF has to opt for J10/J11/su35 to replace its mirages5

i still believe that PAF and pakistani poltical brass played it wrong when it comes to f-16s, first PAF didnt do enough diplomacy second they didnt acquire j-10 in 2000s, which was probably the reason why USA released the f-16s in the first place, this is my guess from looking at Zulus, as soon as we buy from other people, uncle sam comes in with an offer
 
PN designation for ex-Royal Navy Type 21 frigates (displacement<3800 t) is Tariq class destroyer (serving the 25th Destroyer squadron).

If 4000 t Chinese frigates have been ordered as replacement of Type 21's, why didn't Retd. Admiral Zakaullah say destroyers ?

this seems the pic High Performance frigate (3500 tonnes class) with 32 VLS but according Military recognition site it lacks anti-submarine capabilities but would be nice addition specially in the presence of F-22P which already have some anti-sub warfare elements installed

what possible modifications would be required to fire cruise and anti ship missiles, from this frigate, in the VLS ? @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Zarvan @wanglaokan
