Olha, aquelas cadeirinhas de plástico em cima do antigo lançador do míssil Standard ficaram da hora...

São das cadeiras de plástico mais caras da história

Num torra, Prepe, devem ter sido colocadas ali para alguma solenidade ou curso, POWS!!!

Ei-la, em todo o seu "esplendor", a PNS Alamgir



Sem lançador Mk-13, sem misseis, sem CIWS, basicamente um dos mais caros OPVs em serviço na actualidade

Pois é, coloca um lançador de ESSM, um CIWS e 2 Sea Hawk que aí ele fica de primeira de novo. Nem precisa de Harpoon, o Sea Hawk leva Penguin.
Fica uma escolta boa e barata.

a única coisa que os paquistaneses falam é montar um Phalanx retirado das suas Amazon.
Pela maioria dos comentários que tenho lido foi um PÉSSIMO negócio para o Paquistão.

Certo, mas parece que a Turquia fez ou está fazendo essa modernização com ESSM, CIWS e até Harpoon, trazendo os navios para um padrão de combate bem atualizado.

é um facto mas esta fragata já nem sequer tem o lançador Mk-13, ao contrário das Turcas

outra hipótese seria a instalação de um VLS á proa á semelhança das OHP australianas...mas segundo li essa alteração custou uma fortuna e criou problemas de estabilidade nos navios

Pakistan Navy New Fleet Tanker Launched by Karachi Shipyard & Turkey's STM

A new Fleet Tanker for the Pakistan Navy (PN) was launched today by Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works Limited (KS&EW) in Karachi. Construction of the vessel was started on 27 November 2013 with steel cutting and subsequently keel laying was performed on 7 March 2014. The design of the Fleet Tanker is from Turkey's STM, while the tanker itself was built in Pakistan.

During the official launching ceremony, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said, “The project will further strengthen cooperation between Pakistan and Turkey.” He further added that the tanker was a gift to Pakistan on its 70th Independence Day.

The vessel will provide not only logistic support to PN units at high seas but can also undertake combat support operations through embarked helicopters. The fleet tanker will comply with IMO and MARPOL regulations. For this, the ship is of double hull configuration. It is propelled by two diesel driven engines with variable pitch propellers and can achieve a top speed of 20 knots at full load. The vessel is equipped with 4 x DGs for electrical power generation. With overall length of 158.4 m and maximum width of 22.0 m, the ship has scantling displacement of over 17000 tons.

Contract for indigenous construction of a Fleet Tanker for Pakistan Navy was signed on 22 Jan 2013 between Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP), Pakistan and M/s STM of Turkey. As per the said contract, design of the ship along with Kit of Material (KoM) will be provided by M/s STM, whereas complete construction, outfitting, and trials will be undertaken by KS&EW. PN Fleet Tanker is the largest ship to be built in country to date.

State-owned Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works Limited (KSEW) will launch an Azmat-class missile-capable patrol craft for the Pakistan Navy on 17 September.

The platform, which was laid down in August 2015, will be the country's third Azmat-class boat. First-of-class PNS Azmat (1013) was commissioned in June 2012, while second ship PNS Deshat (1014) was inducted in June 2014.

Contracts to acquire a third and fourth vessel were signed in June 2013 and June 2014 respectively. Construction of these platforms is being undertaken in collaboration with China's shipbuilding industry under an arrangement aimed at transferring technology to KSEW.

The Azmat class is based on the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN's) Houjian (Type 037/2)-class missile boat design. The 63 m vessel has a top speed of 30 kt, and a range of 1,000 n miles at 18 kt, according to IHS Jane's Fighting Ships.

The platform's offensive capabilities are provided by eight (two quad) launchers that are capable of deploying the C-802A surface-to-surface missile, a twin 37 mm gun mounting in the forward section, and a Type 630 30 mm close-in weapon system (CIWS) for defence against aerial threats.

A Turkish Naval Forces MILGEM (Milli Gemi/National Ship) corvette has arrived in Pakistan amid confirmation that Ankara is currently in talks with Karachi to jointly develop a similar platform for the Pakistan Navy.

The vessel, second-of-class TCG Büyükada , arrived in the port of Karachi on 26 October where it will be engaging with personnel of the Pakistan Navy in various professional exchanges, according to the Pakistan Armed Forces Inter Service Public Relations directorate in a media release on the same day.

The corvette will also be taking part in an at-sea exercise with the Pakistan Navy, which will enhance interoperability between the two navies, said the directorate.

"The visit of TCG Büyükada will further enhance the defence ties and maritime collaboration between the two brotherly countries", it added.

Büyükada was launched by Istanbul Naval Shipyard in 2011 and commissioned into the Turkish Naval Forces in September 2013. The 99 m platform's weapons include a 76 mm naval gun, four (two twin) 324 mm torpedo tubes, eight (two quadruple) launchers for anti-ship missiles, and the RIM-116 close-in weapon system.

The corvette can also accommodate a crew of 93, with spare berths for 13, and an S-70B Seahawk helicopter on its flight deck.

Pakistan Closer To Nuclear Second-Strike Capability After Sub Missile Test

It's not the best solution, but it's the only one available to the Pakistan at this point.

By Tyler Rogoway January 13, 2017





Fielding a nuclear-tipped cruise missile that can be launched from a submarine will give Pakistan something it has wanted for years—a credible nuclear second strike deterrent. Earlier in the week the Pakistani Navy announced that they successfully test-fired just that for the first. Regardless of if the missile launch was as successful as Pakistan claims it was or not, more tests will follow and it’s likely just a matter of time before the missile becomes operational.

Second strike capability means that even if a full-on surprise nuclear barrage were to knock out a country’s nuclear weapons capability, that country still has the ability to make their attacker pay dearly via a retaliatory nuclear attack. It is considered the pinnacle of nuclear deterrent strategies.

Pakistan’s Babur-3 submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM) that was tested just weeks ago in the Indian Ocean is an evolution of the land-based Babur-2. The Babur series of cruise missiles were developed partially via reverse engineering US Navy BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles that crashed in Pakistan in 1998. The first and second land-based versions offered just another layer of attack capability for the Pakistani military, but the submarine-launched Babur-3’s strategic significance is far greater.
