Looks like an old design, other countries are already designing stealthier unmanned larger missile boats and corvettes.

That’s not the right questions to ask. We all know that PN already has plans to counter and humiliate IN just like PAF did to IAF in May, 2025.

Pakistan should prioritize the acquisition of advanced air defense systems to effectively counter potential missile threats from India and safeguard critical assets, particularly in Karachi. Additionally, expanding the fleet of missile boats and corvettes is essential to enhance maritime deterrence. Investment in the development of unmanned surface vessels (USVs), both small and large, equipped with virtual launch System, will further strengthen naval capabilities and asymmetric response options.

That’s the vacation money for establishment and can’t be used for defense equipments.

Pakistan-based Defence Insider reported that the Pakistani Navy announced the signing of the contract with Karachi Shipyard to build the lead ship of Jinnah-class frigates based on ASFAT’s AS3400 design.

Karachi Shipyard’s history with ASFAT can be traced back to the PN MİLGEM programme, which consists of four corvettes based on the Ada-class corvette with significant design changes in accordance with Pakistan’s requirements. Whereas ASFAT built the first and third ships, PNS Babur (F280) and PNS Khaibar (F282), Karachi Shipyard is responsible for the other two, PNS Badr (F281) and PNS Tariq (F283).

This time, with the Jinnah-class, the cooperation has been elevated to the level of joint design with fully localised construction by Karachi Shipyard.

Jinnah-class Frigate​

Based on AS3400 design with a displacement of 3300 tonnes, slightly heavier than PN MİLGEM weighing 3000 tonnes, the Jinnah-class will offer increased weapons capacity and, more importantly, endurance to the Pakistani Navy.

That means the first JCF will be launched in 2027 and will be commissioned in 2029, hopefully they actually add more VLS cells in the other JCFs there seems to plenty of space on the hull

Yes, if it has the same number of VLS as Barbur it is then just the same capability but a larger tonnage, would make little sense

VLS is mostly an issue of finance not size

What I am saying is that more VLS cells can be added without expanding its size.

What happened to the LY-60s that were installed on the Tariq class frigates? Are they now being used as land based SAMs?

I recently watched a video from the Islamabad Files channel discussing unmanned surface vessels (USVs). It’s clear Pakistan is a decade behind on this front. Had we initiated development back in 2015, these platforms could have been fully matured by now and deployed in significant numbers across the Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy.
