And I said those "Responsibilities" Don't need a Admiral to do no matter how far they are overreaching, hell they probably have a admiral in charge of the Canteen at PNS Mehran.

You seem to be the expert and have day to day knowledge of the roles they play. I do not pretend to. That is the difference I guess....

This is an early export version of the HQ-16A. Hasn't Pakistan upgraded to a newer version?

I don't know how much spare ammunition Pakistan initially purchased. I estimate they will only consider upgrading their weapons once their existing ammunition is nearly depleted.

That won’t happen for a very long time, unless there is some kind of war like scenario.

FE is planned or under induction of PAF. B or C (not sure) along with A in Army air defence, they call it LY80ER (extended range).

Updating the land-based launch version is relatively easy. Pakistan was able to purchase a completely new system directly.

Updating the naval ship-based version is more complicated. ------ It may involve updating the radar and control systems.
 
*PAKISTAN NAVY REAFFIRMS OPERATIONAL READINESS THROUGH ADVANCED EXERCISE IN NORTH ARABIAN SEA*

Pakistan Navy demonstrated its operational readiness and combat preparedness through a comprehensive exercise in the North Arabian Sea, showcasing both conventional and unmanned capabilities, as per dictates of evolving naval warfare. The exercise included the successful live firing of LY-80(N) Surface to Air Missile (SAM) from Vertical Launching System at extended range, validating the long-range capabilities of Pakistan Navy's modern air defence systems. LY-80(N) SAM successfully engaged and neutralized an aerial target, demonstrating Pakistan Navy's robust air defence capabilities.

The exercise also featured the successful engagement of surface targets using Loitering Munition (LM), demonstrating Pakistan Navy's precision strike capabilities. Loitering Munition (LM) successfully engaged and destroyed surface targets, showcasing its effectiveness in modern naval warfare. Successful open-sea trials of Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) were also conducted, marking a significant leap in autonomous naval technology. The trials validated the platform’s ability to combine high-speed performance with mission-critical durability. Key capabilities demonstrated include extreme maneuverability, precision navigation and weather resilience. USV offers a low-risk, high-impact solution with the stealth of a tactical interceptor.

Commander Pakistan Fleet, Vice Admiral Abdul Munib, witnessed the exercise, which showcased Pakistan Navy's ability to employ advanced systems.

Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Naveed Ashraf, commended officers and men of Pakistan Navy for their professionalism and operational competence. He reaffirmed Pakistan Navy's resolve to ensure seaward defence of Pakistan and safeguard national maritime interests under all circumstances.
 
LY-80N they fired has a low ceiling of 15Km.
Indian jets fly higher than that.
Drone capabilities are good.#
