A Pimped Out Perry For Pakistan
August 13, 2009: The U.S. is giving Pakistan a Perry class frigate which, after 30 years service in the U.S. Navy, is being retired. The frigate will undergo $65 million of refurbishment, and the addition of more anti-submarine capabilities, beforehand.

The Perry's are 4,100 ton ships that have a crew of 220 and are armed with a 76mm gun, six tubes for launching Mk 46 anti-submarine torpedoes, and a 20mm auto cannon as anti-missile defense. As built, the Perry's had a missile launcher for SM-1 anti-aircraft or Harpoon anti-ship missiles (from a 40 missile magazine), but these were removed from all U.S. Perrys in 2004. This was done because U.S. allies needed the dwindling supply of SM-1 missiles more than U.S. ships did. The SH-60 helicopters carried by the Perrys could still use their smaller Penguin anti-ship missiles.

The Perrys have air search radar and sonar, and can carry two helicopters. Top speed is 55 kilometers an hour. If built today, the Perry's would cost about $300 million each. Pakistan plans to use its Perry class frigate for the anti-piracy patrol off Somalia.

^ koronic now i have changed... i wont get down to your level and throw BS out of my mouth without usuing my head.


OHP is still used around the world by various navies like Polish, turkish, australian, tawianes, US etc navies... PN will be inducting 6 OHP in course of 3-4 years at 65 million dollars per unit... if build today such frigate will cost alot alot alot more.. these frigates are free of cost for pakistan but they have to pay for the refurbishments like enhanced anti-subarine capability and new life.. these frigate will be used as stop gaps until same class displacment frigate Turkish TF-2000 is ready which PN will eventually induct. pakistan has already signed alot of MOU with turkey in defence cooperations and such thing is likely to take place..


(The second phase of the modernization was the GENESIS Project. Derived from Turkish name of the project (Gemi Entegre Savaş İdare Sistemi - Ship Integrated Combat Management System ) GENESIS means in a way a second life for the Perry frigates. The aim of this project is to update the CIC of these frigates, replace all legacy consoles and displays with modern multifunction operator consoles. More importantly with the implementation of GENESIS all existing sensors and weapon systems of these frigates will be able to communicate with each other.)

Pakistan Airforce: The largest distributor of Indian airforce parts in Asia



Pathankot Strike
8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War.

well if harpoon and sm-1 are reintroduced then it can be useful. Of course it depends on Indian navy and what it can offer as well.

^we have recently acquired 130 Harpoon block II from US. 50 of them are ship launch version...
Pakistan is also paying from US money for the upgradtion of this ship... so of course its going to have Harpoon and SAM capability.
