Relying on the old iron relationship between China and Pakistan, Pakistan has purchased a lot of high-quality and low-cost weapons and equipment from China, including four F-22P frigates. According to the Indian media, is it true that these 4 frigates are lying on their stomachs one after another?
The four F-22P frigates sold by China to Pakistan have been converted into our own Type 053H3 frigates, and some details have been changed according to the requirements of the Pakistani Navy. It is reported that the F-22P frigate has a displacement of about 3,000 tons and is equipped with a 76-mm main gun, C-802 anti-ship missiles and FM-90N anti-aircraft missiles. So far, all the four F-22Ps ordered by Pakistan Railway from the mainland have been handed over to the Pakistani Navy and have become their main responsibility.
Although the F-22P frigate looks very good in all aspects, it is not the case in the eyes of the Indian media. According to them, there are a lot of problems with the F-22P frigates, they are simply full of faults, and none of the frigates is good, all 4 F-22Ps are lying on their stomachs.
According to Indian media, the engine used by the F-22P rotates too slowly because the temperature is too high when exhausting, so that the speed of the frigate can not keep up. In addition, there are problems with the engine's crankshaft, cylinder liners, lubrication, vibration isolators, etc., and they cannot be used at all.
In addition to the engine, the search radar system on board the F-22P frigate, as well as the infrared seeker of the anti-aircraft missile, have significant shortcomings. When performing missions, the F-22P will not be able to lock on to enemy targets due to this flaw. If this were wartime, the F-22P would have played no role at all.
In addition, the Indian media also specifically pointed out that the main guns of the lead ship "Zulfikar" could not be used due to malfunction, and the fourth ship "Aslet" was of no use because of its poor radar function.
Seeing so many details, one cannot help but wonder if all the four F-22P frigates of the "China brand" are all lying in their nests? Are they really useless? Is Pakistan's money really spent in vain?
In fact, the Chinese people should have long been accustomed to India's inferior smear methods. It can even be said that the international community has long been adapted. Regardless of the fact that the power and weapons used by the F-22P are all from the frigates currently in service with the Chinese Navy, it is said that some time ago, the Pakistani Navy also deployed the No. 2 and No. 4 F-22Ps to carry out missions near the Strait of Hormuz. If the "Chinese brand" F-22P is really so unbearable, why does the Pakistani Navy send two F-22Ps to carry out the mission?
In addition, Pakistan has ordered Type 054AP frigates from China, and even Algeria has purchased an upgraded version of the C28A frigate from China after seeing the F-22P frigates. Pakistan and Algeria are not too much money to spend, and if the F-22P really has a problem, how can they still order frigates from China? Therefore, India is a typical example of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, and everyone needs not pay attention to them.
