The DHESHAT is my favourite boat ... in whole navy

The pupose of this 700ton is not to do offence but defence and for that it is suited. its AK 630 CIWS which in my opinion is one of the best weapon for both offense and defence. it has C802 Ashm which is definitely deadly. It has main gun to fight other FAC which is 23mm good against any FAC and faster to point at target faster reload and complete automatic are some of its good qualities. But most important thing is its speed which gives it an edge over missiles. Targetting a ship with missile is tough specially against FAC. Ashm have a similar properties like Cruise missile they fall on the projected distance or in most advance can change its course slowly but by that time FAC are manuevered away.

We always look in weapons in a way like western having heavy firepower. But Mostly if u see in documentaries and read the war stories they throw a missile on tiny targets. thats what fools us we think we require a 75mm gun for FAC or so. its just an example but I hope u understand. for a class of FAC its already have more than enough punch. furthermore the navy has already equipped its ship with man pad they can fend of any target in terms of speed as on sea level most targets dont go beyong M 1.4-1.6.

This is a terrible post. Defense FAC not offense? AK630 is for final anti ship defense, the main gun lacks any firepower against other FAC, most have a 30mm or larger to engage at a distance. The C802 is a pure offensive weapon. A FAC will not maneuver away from an anti-ship missile.
These FAC fit the need of the Pakistan navy, a small economical ship with a powerful SSM punch and a limited anti aircraft/anti missile defense

Respect others opinion who the hell are to you tell if post is terrible or not. Its been almost a year since I have written that post. Pakistan navy fast attack crafts are used for only coastal defence not any offence. having a ASHM onboard doesnt mean its offensive ship. Who told you that AK630 is only for defending against Ashm ? it can be used against any air threat to including missiles. its 23mm gun is good against any fast attack craft if not wipe it out it can easily put the ship out of service. You are terrible first research than shout !

For the close-air-defence all Pakistani FAC are equipped with a combination of Mistral and Anza I Missiles, all western Navys are using the same tactic for their FAC (like you can see in the pictures):

so what you wrote would suggest an offensive boat, to counter piracy and coastal threats. the AK630 has a limited range, it won't shoot down air threats, mainly to stop last minute anti ship missiles. so the 23mm would be used against other boats. exactly, offensive by nature. and having an ASHM DOES mean it is offensive.

Are these stealth Ships ? their design is very modern

And the armament on board is very lethal the missiles in back etc

why bottom part is so black

The Shoulder held weaponry is nice but

This kind of robotics should be doable in Pakistan its not that complicated

Not to mention the Number of boats should be increased to 20-22 boats


SEA RAM unit

Would look nice for our Frigates and FAC boats

it needs also radar ! Which is very huge and cant be installed on such a little boat !

Nano Technology its all about Nano technology

 

[aziqbal]

Certainly azmat class is a good littoral ship and we could do with more of these units

I think few of this could much better
