Steel Cutting of Type-54A for Pakistan Navy

[Areesh]

@Nilgiri

Apparently PN has selected a beast of a ship

But that ship was not good enough for BN

I can see an integrated mast

A beast is coming sir jee. Really excited about this project.

What areas for this version are better than Type-054A, can you shed some light.

There's another thread on it with a detailed article.

Great, great updates. Defence capabilities of 3 forces marching forward at great stride.

Unfortunately no ... The blockade on F16s purchases and upgrade has cost us alot ... F16 was supposed to be our front line fighter for a decade but without upgrades and Rafael approaching F16s will not even be able to a defensive force ...

What we did to our navy in past we are doing to our air force by relying on USA

PN still has 8 AIP sub from China going to deliver in future.

AESA radar and integrated mast with sensor which makes it more stealthy. The missile might be HQ-16B for air defense. Tonnage might be bigger at above 4000tons.

HQ-16B means its going to be 70KM range that will give awesome boost to air defence capabilities of Pakistan Navy.

HQ-16B is a land-based version.

How does this version the F22-B2 aka Type 054A+/P compare with the Type 45 Daring Class in the RN?

Don't agree with you that PAF is relying on America. Just because F16 are present in our fleet that our reliance is on America.

A lot of things are happening on airforce front too and it is wrong to say that it is being ignored or anything like that. Yes the pace of developments can be accelerated further but it is not stagnant.

Ok lets put it this way .. the reliance we put on in USA in the last decade by purchasing more block 52s that keep on draging risk of sanctions is costing us now ... and despite our f16s can get upgrade and will provide a fighting chance to paf even after arrival we are stuck ... unless we please uncle SAM or we induct another platform next decade will be one of the worst for PAF

Not really costing us. F16 Block 52 were a great value addition to PAF fleet. In a year or two PAF would have its first AESA aircraft along with work on 5th generation aircraft started. Things are stable but can be improved in my view.

Congrats to china Pakistan cooperation

 

[aziqbal]

The best thing here is inter-opearability with Chinese navy with the systems and subsystems

Even more with future Chinese carrier strike groups

Together this will definitely effect foreign policy

Good move

China has dropped Type054B project and concentrate on 052E and 055 cruiser project for true blue water navy.

What features Type 52 E will have

Intergrated Mast and more advance radar, full electric distribution power system, helo deck lengthen for Z-20.

Weapon will still be the same 64 VLS silo.
