Pakistan ordered a new patrol ship

According to the Internet portal navaltoday.comOn June 12, 2017, the Pakistani military signed a deal with the multinational (headquartered in the Netherlands) shipbuilding group Damen Shipyards Group, providing for the construction of a patrol ship according to the project and with the assistance of Damen at the facilities of the Pakistani state shipyard Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works Ltd. (KSEW) located in Karachi.

According to the Minister of Defense of the country, the displacement of the ship will be about 1900 tons, length - 90 meters. These dimensions approximate the patrol ship of the Damen Offshore Patrol Vessel 1800 Sea Ax project. Apparently, Pakistan has become the first acquirer of a vessel of this type. As you can imagine, the ship will carry the coast guard.

Judging by the contours, it is projected with a decrease in radio visibility ... a kind of trend in shipbuilding ... and there is nothing surprising ... there are own waters ... patrol ships are needed ...

But I see, or rather, I see neither anti-ship missiles, nor air defense missiles, Not even a single Vulcan is there? Chet is somehow weak, although it will do for Pakistan.

There the task is not to smash the Indian fleet. And act in peacetime, in the near and far zones. For any poachers, smugglers, terrorists, pirates, just violators.

Key features:
- helicopter with a hangar and a large margin of autonomy (fuel and lubricants)
- A camera for a high-speed boat, which can be dumped at full speed.
- convertible areas for the delivery of humanitarian aid, the reception of patients, refugees, hostages and pirates, etc. Reception specialists. Reception of equipment for various purposes.

But why does a patrol ship have radio-obscure contours?
