Chinese state media reported that China has delivered the largest and most advanced warship to Pakistan. This is the first time that Beijing has ever exported such a warship.
The warship which was delivered to the Pakistani Navy has been designed and built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC). The frigate was delivered to Pakistan in a commissioning ceremony in Shanghai, as per Global Times.
The name of the warship is PNS Tughril and it is the Type 054A/P frigate. The advanced warship is the first hull of four Type 054 frigates being built for the Pak Navy, it said.
The frigate is highly advanced with enormous surface-to-surface, surface-to-air, and underwater firepower. It is equipped with state-of-the-art combat management and an electronic warfare system along with modern self-defence capabilities.
The Type 054A/P frigate can simultaneously execute several naval warfare missions in a highly intense multi-threat environment, a statement from Pakistan said.
