Congrats for Pakistan Navy and thank you to Romanian Shipyard

 

[Muhammad Omar]

State of the art weapons and sensors?

What kind of weapons

 

[CHI RULES]

The statements show that these OPVs are not for PMSA/Coast Guards but for Navy. The best they may have short range SAM like FM90, and domestic ASHMS along with rockets for antisubmarine capabilities.

 

[ghazi52]

Wonderful addition.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Good starter ship for modernization
Decent coastal patrol ship

The variant PN has contracted is a lengthened Damen OPV 1800.

The difference I see is that there is a Oto Melara 76/62 Super Rapid gun mount (as seen on OPV 1800 Sea Axe) instead of the Oto Melara 76/62 Compact (as seen on the OPV 1800).

Additionally, PN can station some personnel with MANPADS (FN-6) while conducting SAR missions during wartime.

No sonars and torpedoes.

looks good and as its EU made new ship i must say nice addition in team

 

[MBT 3000]

look nice

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

We might need to install some defences on new ships
Pakistan already makes Sonar , we will figure this out locally

Basic CWIS

Some Anti Submarine Game with our Z-9 and Sea Kings
Torpedeo Game will be added

Advance recon in air via UAV Technology

Few hand held Ground to Air defences

Might a well put these there too we have these on the 60 meter Azmat so I am sure these will eventually fit some where on 90 Meter ship

Oh wait we make all these goodies locally

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Not sure about SAM like installation on the ship but at least there would be some defences no doubt

Would work for Pakistan a we have a need for Corvette / OPV coastal patrol ship
