The radomes and other antennas stuff seemed different from Turkish MILGEM.What different? It has 16 VLS

China has production lines which keeping chugging out ships one after another so no comparison to our Jinnah Class frigate in terms of cost or production time. Also these ships are not Ada class corvettes but custom design which has not gone into production even for turkey. New designs take time to get into production and once production line gets established it become cheaper and production time smaller. Pakistan is getting design rights for Jinnah class so we will not be stopping at the end of fourth ship. In fact as mentioned several times on PDF fourth Jinnah class will form basis for our next gen frigates.
Interesting, Turks are making the Istanbul class frigate the basis of their TF-2000 Air Defence destroyer, very feasable PN going down similar route where we make Jinnah the basis of a new series of air defence destroyers
It is likely a situation of them not releasing the actual illustration until now. Didn't the Turkish brothers say the first illustration was just a Photoshop and that the actual ship can't look like Ada with VLS?The current design of vessel is different than that of initially released image of J-class.
The super structure design is different, AShM canisters are different, VLS modules layout is different, SAT-COM and other antennas are different.
This is creating a new confusion. Are both designs official? Or the first image was more a CGI than an actual design?
Or, the one shown now is Pakistan's indigenously designed 4th ship? Or the ships produced in Pakistan and ships produced in Turkey will have different layouts?

Cool. We are going to have destroyersYes, I suspect both navies will share similar designs going forward.
I'd be happy if this was actually MILGEM-J #4, but I hope it isn't. If this is what they're pulling off for the first three ships, then the chances of the 4th ship being an I-Class variant are looking good.Clearest Pic

Interestingly, Navy is calling these ships as Milgem and designating them as Corvettes. This leads to assumption that the 4th Ship will be Jinnah Class frigate and will be a very different project inspired from I-Class with domestic modifications.I'd be happy if this was actually MILGEM-J #4, but I hope it isn't.

One other note. Awful lot of investment went into the corvettes too, and they're pretty good ships in their own right. It makes me wonder, if we'll see more of the corvettes as well, in addition to the frigates (especially if expectations regarding the frigates go into long-range SAMs, etc).Interestingly, Navy is calling these ships as Milgem and designating them as Corvettes.

Henceforth, we are looking at 3 Milgum and 1 J-class. And then the J- class will be produced further once the first ship will deliver the requisite results.
You mean HHQ 9s?long-range SAMs
It depends on what's available in 2023-2025. So, HQ-9 or Aster-30.You mean HHQ 9s?
