What's new

Pakistan, Turkey hold naval exercises

the PN may integrate the CWIS and SSMs on board the chinese built Sword FFGs for commanality

Not likely, considering OHP is designed with Phalanx CIWS (which I expect Alamgir to receive from stock or retiring ship upon arrival in Pakistan) and that this particular ship has apparently (no photo yet) been fitted with rack-mouned Harpoon and that the rack-based launcher installation of C802 is probably larger/heavier that that of Harpoon. Also, the Chinese 30 mm gatling gun mount (also the basis of Type 730 CIWS) requires deck-penetration and significant space below deck, that Phalanx does not.
