Ambassador Edward felt that his visit was of great significance. Pakistan has proposed many cooperation projects with the UK. Although the Type 82 destroyer and the supporting javelin missiles are sold at low prices, in other aspects, supporter-class submarines, S-5 transport aircraft, and even Hunter Anti-submarine aircraft and Victor K.2 aerial refueling aircraft.

Compared with the famous P3 in later generations, the Hunter Anti-Submarine aircraft does not seem to be famous. However, this thing is the world's largest anti-submarine aircraft. It was improved by the British using the Comet passenger aircraft platform, with first-class endurance and maximum range. Moreover, its radar was later modified into the radar of the Hunter Early Warning Aircraft. However, due to the defects of the electronic processing system, this early warning aircraft cannot handle the complex echoes on the land. However, if it were not for the comprador class in the UK who purchased the early warning aircraft from the United States again, with the advancement of the electronic system, it would definitely be finally improved. In later generations, China used the modified maritime patrol aircraft of the Y-8, and the machine was placed in its nose.

And the - No - Wrong - Victor K.2 air tanker was improved with the platform of the "Victory" bomber, which is comparable to the US-made KC10 tanker. If the Pakistan Air Force wants to become an offensive force, the air tanker is essential. In the past, they fought on the local level, and at most they were flying over Afghanistan without an air tanker. Now, with the withdrawal of the Soviet Union and the Afghan problem has been solved, the combat goals of the Pakistani Air Force have also changed, and they must have large jet tankers.

These preliminary agreements reached with the UK made Mhamad very satisfied. Due to the previous few times, the British did not dare to quote a particularly high price. Mhamad was able to accept the normal price.

The biggest gain of this trip to the Soviet Union was to suppress the price from Britain and the United States! The Americans did not adopt a hostile attitude, but comforted them. Although the warships sold to Pakistan were secretly secretly, they actually wanted to store air defense missiles in the American warehouse. Of course, Mhamad would not agree.

The country's industry is constantly developing, and the finished products are sold to the country. Afghanistan, China, the Middle East, and even the Western world. Now, even if the first five years have passed, Pakistan's industry has completely gotten on track and Mhamad is full of confidence in Pakistan's future.

Half a month later.

The Karachi port is bustling with countless people looking forward to it. Looking at the sea in the distance.

As the two warships with Pakistan's star-and-moon flags gradually approached, everyone cheered at the port.

The high freeboard has a large ball on the top of the bow, and behind the naval gun, the double-mounted missile launcher is so eye-catching.

Type 42 destroyers! These two destroyers bought from Argentina at a bargain price, asked Mhamad to personally bring senior military officials to the port to greet them.

"We have this kind of warship with a displacement of 4,000 tons, which can fully escort our aircraft carriers." said Zahar, the chief of staff of the Navy, beside Mhamad.

Although the current aircraft carrier is a training ship, at critical moments, it can still be used for action. An isolated aircraft carrier is just a living target. When the supporting escort ships are fully equipped, they will truly have combat capabilities.

"Yes, our British side is also very happy to see the Type 42 destroyer joining the Pakistan Navy." said British Ambassador Edward.

This time we came to welcome the British ambassador, although the Type 42 destroyer was from Argentina. After all, it was designed by the British.

"It's a pity that there are only a few javelin missiles on this warship." Mhamad said: "We really hope to obtain the production technology of javelin missiles as soon as possible."

Pakistan has production technology and starts to produce on its own, so there is no need to purchase more javelin missiles from the UK. Moreover, when the Patriots successfully imitate it, they plan to let the Patriots board the ship. The javelin only solves the problem of whether there is or not.

"Our domestic departments are coordinating. By the end of this year, we will definitely be able to produce this missile in your country." Edward said. The projects have been negotiated. Pakistan has only paid a deposit. If you want to pursue the final payment in the future, the UK needs to be more proactive, not to mention there are other transactions.

"Yes." Mhamad said: "In addition to the sea javelin missiles, our two warships also need to enter the dock and take a break, especially to damage the control system and replace the things that can burn."

Those aluminum alloy things can easily fuel combustion. Even soldiers' sleepers must be replaced with iron beds. Mhamad will not allow Sherfield's tragedy to reappear in the Pakistani Navy.

Moreover, the hull was a little corroded, and these two warships were not properly maintained in the Argentine Navy.

These two warships will give the Pakistan Navy a temporary regional air defense capability, and Mhamad attaches great importance to these two warships.

At the same time, in the shipyard on the other side of the port, the new destroyer built by Pakistan itself has also been built. When Edward looked over there, compared the two 42 models, he felt the difference in design styles.

The Type 42 destroyer has dense tops and everything, and the upper part of the hull is also irregular.

The destroyer under construction had not yet reached the deck, and the hull had already ended. It began to recycle and integrate with the superstructure, with a shrinking inclination.

Now, no destroyer of a country is built like this. Seeing that, Edward couldn't help but feel curious: "Why does the destroyer you built by yourself look like this?"

Stealth warships are not stealth aircraft. The construction, launching and serving of warships cannot be kept confidential, so Mhamad did not intend to conceal it. The construction progress of Karachi Shipyard was also very rapid.

The hull has basically been formed, and the lm2500 gas turbine from the United States has been installed in place, France's combat system, Sea Sparrow air defense missile, C-802 anti-ship missile, a helicopter take-off and landing platform at the tail, and a 100mm naval gun. At the same time, a dense array installation location is also reserved.

From the outside, you can only see the appearance of the hull. Most of the equipment is already built-in. At the back of the hull, above the helicopter hangar, the meter wave radar has not been installed yet, leaving only a huge base.

The hull construction is completed and is about to enter the outfitting stage.

Judging from the appearance, it is completely different from the Western ones. After all, warships are invisible, which was only proposed in the 1990s.

“We designed the appearance ourselves,” Mhamad said. “There are great benefits for our design.”

What are the benefits? What Edward wants to hear the most is the function of this design, but Mhamad did not continue to speak. He changed his words: "The boat platform was soon vacant, and these two 42s can be maintained. When the maintenance of these two 42s is completed, our own submarines can be built. Unfortunately, it will take some time for the two tr-1700 submarines to come back."

Those two submarines were not driven back by themselves, but were returned on a semi-submersible ship that specializes in transporting large items.

Now, the Pakistan Navy has only two submarines, the Hashmat-class. The prototype of this submarine is the legal Agosta-class submarine, which is a submarine designed and built by France in the 1970s, with an underwater displacement of 1,700 tons.

After France built it that year, South Africa ordered two ships in 1975, but in 1977, the United Nations imposed an arms embargo on South Africa, and the two submarines were resold to Pakistan, and Pakistan also owned its own submarine force.

Now, it has been nearly ten years since these two submarines appear old and cannot fight against more and more new threats. Therefore, Pakistan will purchase submarines from abroad. After the two tr-1700s come back, they can allow the submarine troops to undergo training and have combat capabilities within half a year.

Now, Pakistan has not been able to move back yet, so it can only rent a semi-submersible boat.

The semi-submersible ship, the cargo hold in front, is like a dock, filled with water, and then sinks into the seawater. In this way, the cargo to be transported is activated and then discharged from the seawater. The cargo hold in front is exposed from the seawater and drags the cargo to be transported up.

Submarines, offshore oil platforms, and ships can all be transported in this way.

"We are also looking forward to the start of construction of our supporter-class submarine project as soon as possible." Edward could only say this. When it comes to construction, many British technicians will come to guide them. At that time, they will definitely be able to learn the secret of the warship from the Pakistani population.

It feels so good to have money! In later generations, Pakistan had limited financial resources and could not update its equipment at all. In the 1990s, it was not until three more ships were ordered from France, and the last ship was postponed in the protests of the Indians.

Now, Mhamad no longer needs to worry about money. The hot money invested in island countries will bring more profits. Mhamad knows that Pakistan must seize this short golden time and develop its national strength as soon as possible. Only when the country is strong can it have a say in the world.

With the arrival of these two Type 42 destroyers, the Pakistani navy began to develop in great strides.

After returning from Karachi, Mhamad received news that Tomcat fighter jets will conduct a live ammunition target shooting at the Peshawar Air Force Base.

As a user of Tomcat fighter jets, Pakistan has long accumulated rich experience, such as the expensive Immortal Missiles. Pakistan has also used it many times in actual combat and summarized many rules, so that the US Navy came to Pakistan to learn from the experience of the Pakistan Air Force.

However, this live-fire target shooting is different from before, because the missile used this time is a new air-to-air missile! (To be continued...)
