He is speculating on the basis of just a poster.

His news is based on his inside links into the turkish def sector , that poster is of Jinnah class not Milgem that he has linked ,
Further more every PN Milgem poster that has been released so far has 3 cell rectangular missile rack , so in no way was the Harba or Atamca ever even depicted on the PN Milgem
Posting 3 PN Milgem posters , First poster from cutting ceremony of first ship in turkey , second from cutting ceremony of 4th ship at ksew , and third poster is from ASFAT official brochure of PN Milgem from DIMDEX 2022
If u see in the first poster the containers depicted are the same size and shape as P282 , while that changed in 2nd and 3rd posters , so its pretty clear Harba was never intended to be deployed on it as the circular canisters of harba are not shown in any image, but P282 has always had a greater chance.

Does not make sense as HArbah is active in PN.
A
Source Article is not reliable as the article is removed
There was only limited production of Harbah.We were waiting for SMASh but with Atmaca.
Sab khatam
Bhai sabar aur Hosla rakhoo ... it's not doom and gloom scenario
There are some issues with HARBA
Such as ... ??

Harba is ship based Babur as per reports .... so I don't think there must be some issue with this system, but your input about this matter would be valuable
It looks like the reports of the PN planning on 6 Jinnah-class frigates were confirmed/verified by the PN.
Good news but If you could share the article or some other source then plz share

Pakistan to launch 3rd Babur class guided missile heavy corvette this month




KARACHI – Pakistan will launch the 3rd Babur class guided missile heavy corvette, PNS Badr, on May 20.

According to the Pakistan Strategic Forum, "The class of four Babur corvettes are being built under the joint venture MILGEM project between Pakistan and Turkey, with 2 ships being built in Istanbul, Turkey and 2 in Karachi, Pakistan at a cost of around $1.5 Billion to the Pakistan Navy. The Babur Class Corvettes are 3,000 tonne multi-mission platforms, equipped for anti-ship warfare (AShW), anti-submarine warfare (ASW) as well as anti-air warfare (AAW).

"In the Anti-Surface category, the corvettes will be armed with ATMACA anti-ship missiles, with two four-cell launchers. ASuW helicopters can also be deployed from the ship, carrying anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons.


"In anti-air warfare, the corvettes have a 12 cell GWS-26 vertical launch system (VLS) that carries the MBDA Albatros NG/Common Anti-Air Modular Missile-Extended Range (CAMM-ER) surface-to-air missile (SAM) with a range of between 50-65 kilometres. The Babur-class will also use an Aselsan Gökdeniz dual 35 mm close-in-weapon-system (CIWS) with Aselsan ATOM airburst ammunition for terminal and point air defense.

"In Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), the corvettes have two 3-cell 324 mm lightweight torpedoes launchers as well as the Yakamos hull-mounted sonar and a HIZIR towed array sonar system as well as decoy. ASW helicopters can also be deployed from the ship with submarine hunter-killer capabilities.

"Other weapons systems include a 76 mm OTO Melara Super Rapid main naval gun and two Aselsan STOP 25 mm machine guns. The ships will also have a 10-ton capacity helicopter hangar and deck. The warships have a range of 9,300 kilometres and are powered by General Electric LM2500 CODAD engines.

"The electronics suit for the four ships will be supplied by Aselsan at a cost of 215 million dollars which includes a main 3D AESA S-band naval radar, ASELSAN ALPER LPI Surface Radar, AKREP (AKR-D Block B-1/2) Fire Control Radar, SATCOM, a new network-oriented battle-management system, ARES-2NC ESM modules, ELINT and SIGINT modules, Electronic Warfare (EW) modules, SeaEye-AHTAPOT EO Reconnaisance and Survellience System, ASELSAN Piri (Infrared Search and Track) IRST system, as well as the Yakamos hull-mounted sonar system and HIZIR torpedo countermeasure system. The HIZIR is a complete suite consisting of a towed array, decoy array and expendable decoys."


 
There are some issues with HARBA which is one of the reasons its limited role out is only for FAC-M 3 & 4. Once Harba issues are sorted out, It will see fleet wide deployment

Question, what's the issue with HARBA?

Leave Navy and Air Force out of it.

It's mostly the melodramatic teenage drama queen Army with it's "afsar" minded uncles. Who have been shafting Pakistan for decades.
 
GE LM2500 is a gas turbine engine. I wonder where the CODAD configuration is coming from when it should be CODAG if gas turbine is Being used.
