They were. This was PNS Tariq a few years back, just weeks from launching when i got to visit. Both were delayed heavily due to funds. KSEW just delivers them to PN as hulls. The PN does the fitting at its dockyard so now its out of KSEW hands. I think the first will be fitted this year and tariq next year. All the projects were stupidly delayed.

I believe none of them have ASM , AAM or CIWS. But once they are equipped fully will be a force to recon with. Same is the fate of Yarmook specially batch 2.

The commissioning ceremony of a Pakistan Navy Milgem class ship, PNS Khaibar, has been held at Istanbul Naval Shipyard, where Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasised the need for enhanced mutual collaboration in the field of defence production between the two countries.

The warship is the second of four Milgem class corvettes, the contract for which was signed with ASFAT Inc, a Turkish state-owned defence contractor firm in 2018.

Under this contract, two ships were to be constructed in Turkiye and the remaining two ships in Pakistan.

“The commissioning of PNS Khaibar marks the completion of the construction of both ships in Turkiye,” the military’s media affairs wing said in a statement on Sunday.

President Erdogan was the chief guest on the occasion while Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf also attended the ceremony, it added.

Following the ceremony, the ISPR statement said, Erdogan visited the ship, where he was presented with a guard of honour. He also interacted with the ship’s crew.

The ISPR further stated that Admiral Ashraf exchanged views on maritime security in the region and discussed avenues for future PN-TNF joint initiatives.

“Pakistan Navy Milgem ships are the most technologically advanced surface platforms. These vessels are equipped with latest command and control Systems integrated with modern weapons and advanced sensors,” it added.

Apparently the air defence system is the MBDA's CAMM system. What if the Europeans put an embargo on Pakistan like they have done many times in the past?? Who decided this was a good idea? The system itself obviously is very good.
