Pak Navy to acquire four frigates from China

Islamabad, Oct 17 : As part of its plans to acquire modern warships, the Pakistan Navy will acquire four frigates from China by 2011 and the first of these vessels will be inducted into the force next year.

"Four F-22P Frigates, being manufactured in China, will be included in the fleet of the Pakistan Navy by 2011," Commodore Kamran Khan, commander of the navy's destroyer squadron, told reporters on board the warship PNS Babar in the Arabian Sea today.

Under a plan to modernise its fleet by 2025, the Pakistan Navy will acquire modern submarines, warships and aircraft, he said.

Three F-22P frigates are being manufactured in China while the last one will be built in the Pakistan Naval Dockyard in Karachi.

The first frigate will be included in the fleet next year. "Under a transfer of technology agreement with China, Pakistan will be able to start manufacturing warships in 2010," Khan said.

Under the navy's modernisation plan, the government has been asked to provide the force more warships and submarines. New P-3C aircraft are being purchased from the US for aerial surveillance, he added.

Khan said the Pakistan Navy is fully capable of safeguarding its maritime obligations. One warship of the Pakistan Navy is always present in the Indian Ocean with the fleet of the allied forces, he said.

China will also build and launch a telecommunication satellite for Pakistan.

Contracts for the satellite deal were inked during the just-concluded state visit of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari to China.

Pakistan will use the satellite for domestic telecommunication and broadcast services.

The satellite's chief contractor -- China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) said that a 'Long March 3B' rocket will be used to put the satellite into orbit in 2011.

The company said ground control facilities for the satellite will be handed over to the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) after it enters orbit.

CGWIC and its sub-contractors are responsible for the design, manufacturing, final assembly, testing and launch of the satellite.

The satellite, 'PakSat-1R' will have a life span of 15 years.

As part of Beijing's effort to position itself as a reliable and cost-effective space benefactor to the developing world, the communist giant has already announced plans to build and launch satellites for countries like Brazil and Venezuela.

Pakistan Navy ships are regularly deployed for PN’s initiative of Regional Maritime Security Patrol to ensure maritime security in Indian Ocean Region. In addition, as part of CTF-150, PNS SAIF participated in Focused Operation CHINOOK ARCHER along with ships and aircrafts of United States and Canada. The exercise was aimed at impacting narcotic smuggling trade along the hash highway to the East of Oman.
Under the realm of Focused Operation, PNS SAIF participated in the Passage Exercise with US naval ship USS LABOON and Canadian ship HMCS CALGARY. The aim of the exercise was primarily to demonstrate interoperability between participating navies and interdict illegal smuggling/ trade emanating along the hash highway.
Pakistan Navy promotes peace and stability in the region and has remained committed to maritime security and order at sea. Participation of PN in such internationally organized Focused Operation is a manifestation of PN's resolve in curtailing terrorism at sea in all forms. PN Ships being flag bearers of Pakistan continue to remain poised at sea in an effort to curb menace of illegal smuggling/ narco trafficking so as to ensure safe regional trade corridors for maritime community

Des navires de la marine pakistanaise sont régulièrement déployés dans le cadre de l’initiative de PN de patrouille de sécurité maritime régionale pour assurer la sécurité maritime dans la région de l’océan Indien. De plus, dans le cadre de la CTF-150, le PNS SAIF a participé à l'opération ciblée CHINOOK ARCHER avec des navires et des aéronefs des États-Unis et du Canada. L’exercice visait à avoir un impact sur le trafic de stupéfiants le long de l’autoroute du hachage à l’est d’Oman.
Dans le domaine des opérations ciblées, le PNS SAIF a participé à l'exercice de passage avec le navire américain USS LABOON et le navire canadien NCSM CALGARY. Le but de l'exercice était principalement de démontrer l'interopérabilité entre les marines participantes et d'interdire la contrebande / le commerce illégal émanant de l'autoroute de hachage.
La marine pakistanaise promeut la paix et la stabilité dans la région et est restée attachée à la sécurité maritime et à l'ordre en mer. La participation de PN à une telle opération ciblée organisée au niveau international est une manifestation de la détermination de PN à réduire le terrorisme en mer sous toutes ses formes. Les navires de la PN, qui portent le drapeau du Pakistan, continuent de rester en mer dans un effort pour lutter contre la menace de contrebande illégale / trafic de narco afin de garantir la sécurité des couloirs commerciaux régionaux pour la communauté maritime.
