Hello TsAr. Looks like a very capable and mean looking Corvette at 2400 tons. I notice the second one (272) is just about completed. How many of this type is Pakistan building?

I don't see any of those mentioned weapons on the ship. Are they not installed yet?

Doesn't seem to be.

But I dont get it, A 2400 ton ship, and only serious firepower is 8 missiles? What am I missing, anyone?

I thought it was at Istanbul to get them, just my assumptions. Guess I was wrong

Seems to be toothless currently

It obviously does not have any real Air Warfare defence capability. Perhaps possibly a MK 41 VLS 4X4 ESSM Quad Pac would be nice. They may be able to fit it somewhere on the SSM deck or possibly in between the exhaust stacks.....maybe, depending on what sort of Combat Management System the PNS Yarmook has.

Navy has yet to disclose the firepower on these ships and the purpose they are going to fulfill. So until we see them in some training we would not really know.
