It is the first of the four frigates committed by China, for which a deal was signed between the two allies in 2017. The modern warship 054A/P, named PNS Tughril by Pakistan, has been developed by the Chinese state-owned Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard. According to Chinese analysts, Type 054A frigate has “world-class stealth capability”, the Eurasian Times reports.
This development comes just days after another ally of Pakistan, Turkey, started construction of the fourth MILGEM Ada class corvette at Karachi.
