Is installing FL-3000N/HQ-16A for current F-22P or next series?

I would like to think that the next series is going to have this weaponry with subsystems to be tested on the last two F22P frigates but also then possibly refit the current F22P frigates too because a 8 loaded FM-90 system is really no air defence it's more point defence

May not come as a suprise since UN has approved Pakistans extension of sea limits from 200 miles to 350miles now there is a lot more ocean to patrol

It says naval Cheif discussed the matter with finance minister for 4 x F22P frigates and the deal may well be done

Let's hope 2015 is the year 8 x SSK and 4 x FFG are procured

Wouldn't read too much in the detail it's Pakistani media ! it will be most likely be a follow on frigate like F23P with improvement

Some updates from warship magazine 2015 March Issue pages 22-23

Pakistan navy is going to use the 3rd and 4th F22P units that's PNS Saif and Aslat to test subsystems for next iteration of the platform

High on the-priority list is installation of VLS a 24 cell system and also talk of HQ-16 more comprehensive electronics and radar package

Supposedly the F22P frigates have modular design with plenty of inside space so to utilise it in the future

Also a 3rd and 4th Azmat Class is now under construction at Karachi dockyard and 5th and 6th units are due to be allocated for build this year

In addition PN is in talks with China for modification of Type 056 similar to what has been sold to Nigeria and Algeria which are very good for OPV and creek operations close to shore

The 6 x SSK are on hold due to lack of funds

And finally South Africa Denel offered Umkhonto SAM for F22P but installation of the 3D radar is proving too problematic so Chinese system is best opition most likely HQ-16A and FL-3000N

Quoting my post from February and here's the confirmation on the steel cutting for the 3rd Azmat Class

Also the 6 x SSK is now 8 x SSK
