The Pakistan Navy is about to usher in the strongest warship

The Pakistani Navy has always had the tradition of equipping Chinese-made ships. At present, the main surface ship of the Pakistani Navy, the F-22P guided missile frigate, is the export version of our country's 053H3 guided missile frigate. The four F-22P guided missile frigates are the core force of the current Pakistani navy's surface ships. The F-22P is equipped with two 4-unit anti-ship missile launchers, which can carry 8 C-802 anti-ship missiles. In addition, the F-22P missile frigate is equipped with a set of 8-unit Haihongqi-7NB short-range in the bow position. Anti-aircraft missiles.


Pakistan Navy F-22P frigate

In recent years, the Pakistani navy has continuously strengthened its naval capabilities. In addition to the introduction of eight S-20 conventional attack submarines that my country has improved on the basis of Yuan-class submarines, it has also introduced four 054AP frigates in almost the same period. Recently, the first 054AP frigate built for the Pakistani navy was launched. Considering the maturity and reliability of the 054A frigate, the entire sea trial process of this foreign trade frigate developed on the basis of the 054A may be very short. It will be as soon as next year. It can be delivered to the Pakistan Navy.


Launch of the first 054AP frigate

The 054AP guided missile frigate performs well
Compared with the self-use version of the 054A frigate, the 054AP has been enhanced in two aspects, one is the anti-ship capability, and the other is the air defense capability. The 054A frigate is equipped with 8 Eagle Strike-83 anti-ship missiles, and 054AP replaced it with 8 Eagle Strike-12 anti-ship missiles, the export version of the CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missile. The Eagle Strike 12 has a maximum range of up to 400 kilometers, and has an end attack speed of Mach 4. Although the export version of CM-302 has a range of less than 300 kilometers, its overall performance still exceeds that of the C-802 equipped by the F-22P frigate.


The improved Shenzhen ship is also equipped with the Eagle Strike 12 anti-ship missile

Another improvement of the 054AP is to replace the 054A Seahawk S/C air-warning roof radar with the SR2410C single-array active phased array radar. SR2410C is an S-band multifunctional phased array three-coordinate radar. , It can complete various tasks such as air/sea alert, weapon guidance and guidance. Compared with the Seahawk S/C top-plate radar, the overall performance of the SR2410C is better. Although the SR2410C has no obvious improvement in the detection range, its information processing capabilities and multi-target tracking capabilities have been enhanced.

The 054AP frigate is of great significance to the Pakistani navy
The anti-ship and air defense capabilities of the 054AP frigate are unprecedented for the Pakistani navy. The CM-302 anti-ship missile prototype Eagle Strike 12 is currently widely equipped with our navy’s latest surface ships. The terminal 4 Mach penetration speed and strong anti-jamming capability make it difficult to intercept. In particular, the SR2410C phased array radar equipped with 054AP and the LY-80 air defense missile (export version of HHQ16) will enable the Pakistani navy to have a certain area air defense capability for the first time, which is of great significance!

So why not use the Eagle Strike 12 and SR2410C phased array radars with the performance of the Eagle Strike 83 and Seahawk S/C top plate radars that exceed 054A? This is still determined by the positioning of the ship. The positioning of the Type 054A frigate in the navy is a small and medium-sized ship with balanced performance, low cost and simple maintenance, suitable for a large number of construction equipment. It is mainly used for defense missions in the middle and near seas, and large ships such as 052D and 055 are responsible for the far seas.


The 0564AP frigate will greatly improve the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Pakistani navy

Judging from my country’s current naval manufacturing capabilities, it’s no problem to turn the 4000-ton 054A into a multifunctional frigate with strong anti-ship and air defense capabilities, but this conflicts with the performance of 052D and 055, and there are already This is not necessary in the case of a large number of 052D and 055. For the Pakistani navy, the four 054AP frigates are its most advanced surface warships. They are to be used as capital ships. Therefore, the overall performance of these four frigates needs to be strengthened.
