Due credit to the PN for pulling this together the right way, e.g., seemingly changing the scope of the MILGEM to include VLA, commonality in SAMs between the 054A and Jinnah Class, etc. Question is, can they take it a step further and secure the HQ-16B with 70 km range? Or maybe add a supersonic AShM to both ships?
all the Chinese sources quote that HQ16 & hq16b are same launcher with just updated missiles aerodynamics and rocket fuel quality, extending the rangeStill does not answer my question. Does extended range missiles require different types of VLS tubes or can be fired from the same VLS tube? Similarly do A and B require different typse of delivery system or not? Help would be appreciated

The question is how does PN and Pak forces in general plan on countering supersonic missiles like Brahmos ? As per my understanding LY80 cannot counter it neither can the CIWS. But then why are the forces investing in a platform like ly80 which cannot counter major threats like brahmos?Due credit to the PN for pulling this together the right way, e.g., seemingly changing the scope of the MILGEM to include VLA, commonality in SAMs between the 054A and Jinnah Class, etc. Question is, can they take it a step further and secure the HQ-16B with 70 km range?

With upcoming Frigate for Pakistan Type 54 it will be equipped with FL-3000 Which specially designed to kill supersonic anti ship missiles just like US RAM and UK CAMM @TheDarkKnightThe question is how does PN and Pak forces in general plan on countering supersonic missiles like Brahmos ?

@HRKPakistani Milgem will use Yakamos sonar system developed by Meteksan.
Countermeasures are in the works involving a known CIWS used on US made ships; but currently no effective one exists.The question is how does PN and Pak forces in general plan on countering supersonic missiles like Brahmos ?
