Featured Pakistan Navy Type 054AP Frigates - Update, News & Discussion

That is why I was with the opinion of instead of going for those two small corvettes from Dutch or other small ships, PN should have go for another 4 054A ships...Total 8 054A would have been good enough to protect about 1000 KM of Pakistan shore line. Probably later try to get 4 052D for naval air defense role.

Mod Edit: Avoid Derailing and rumors.

P.S.: I was told that China has offered similar very good deal for J10C to PAF if they take out of the box solutions with very minor changes. Price difference with JF17 block III would be marginal but capability wise at least two fold. But PAF is hesitating as it may look bad for JF-17 future.
If true on j10c , paf made a very big mistake
