Yes, i wanted to ask the same question & i think the platforms are not enough in the PN fleet there should be at least 4 platforms of one type.

Due to stealth teachnology, Well ! This FAC and Naval Airforce reflects that PN finally have an offensive war doctrine too. Remembering that operation python of india which had proved that Missile boat can become disasterous in case of wars .
How many of these FAC we are going to get, there will be few indigenious develop FAC we will going to equipped ,are they will be stealthy too?

How it compare to new Chinese corvette TYPE 56

How it compare to new Chinese corvette TYPE 56

Type 056 is about twice the displacement. It has a lighter loadout of AShM (4 versus 8) and no AK630 but carries a bigger gun (76mm) forward, with 2x remote control 30mm cannon on the flanks. It also has a flight deck, which could be used by helicopters and/or rotary wing UAVs. Importantly, it has a SAM system (other than sailor held MANPADS). The 056 probably has comparable speed but greater range/endurance/seaworthiness.

Uh comparing a 1971 scenario with 2012 is really stupid according to my PoV. It was an audacious attack where AShM was used for land attack...it was one of a few times this was done. And yeah AShM create a ruckus for the fleets but this is a very well needed aition to the PN.

And the Azmat class is no offensive ship...at best it is the most effective defensive weapon that Pakistan possesses right now...F22 and Alamgir will be the frontal thrust ships as they are far well equipped to take care of themselves in High seas compared to the Azmat.

Well! stealth FAC's can be more supportive and effective interms of any strike even today as well, Nations with comparatively less coastal area and with smaller defence budget can effort it and are using it as a major striking weapon. Yea! during 71 INS vinash had played a vital role and striked in depth to our coastal areas which also had caused large number of civilian deaths. AShM can be used for multi purpose whether it is SS-N-2B or C-802. With PNS Alamgir and zulfiqar class frigates + 14 to 20 FAC with Air support ,we create a strong enough force to strike any intruder fleet in our coastal area or near to our coastal area. I'm just considering provided options here.

Well what we did was out of sheer desperation and we got lucky....that is all Operation Python and Trident were...it was like a suicide mission. Even IN wouldn't try it again. But having an FAC is really great for thwarting attacks like these pretty well and will be a great addition fo patrol during peace time and costal defence during war.

That operation succeded due to shoratage of ammunation in PN inventory, when our only naval supplier U.S at then had stopped supplying weapon to us since after 65. that experience thaught us to go for self reliance . Right now our navy need an strong naval fleet which atleast counter its enemy when someone tries to block our supplies in Arabian sea and FACs are the part of it.

Kya ya project kamyab hogaya or fail ?

I fail to see what a 3000 ton Freedom Class littoral combat ship, a 40+ kt semi-planing steel monohull design, has to do with the 560 ton Azmat class, whic does boaut 30. Really, shaping of the superstructure aside, there is no comparison, not even in the area of stealth.

Your Subs will be a far better bet compared to your FAC in sea denial role. Instead of taking your FACs without any air cover your frigates will do a better job.

the F22Ps have inadequate air defence system I dont think they can last much long either in case of an intense confilct
