Weapon systems of Turkish, Pakistani and European origin will be used in the PN MİLGEM corvettes built by ASFAT for the Pakistan Navy.

• ALBATROS NG Air Defense System (MBDA)
• 2×3 P-282 Hypersonic Surface-to-Surface Guided Projectile System (Pakistan)
• 1 76 mm Super Rapido Bow Gun (LEONARDO)
• 2 triple launcher Torpedo Launching Systems (LENARDO)
• 1 GÖKDENİZ Close Air Defense System (ASELSAN)
• 2 STOP 25 mm UKSS (ASELSAN)
• YAKAMOS Hull Mounted Sonar (METEKSAN)
• HIZIR Torpedo Jamming/Deception System (ASELSAN)
• SMART-S 3D Search Radar (ASELSAN)
• STIR MK-2EO Fire Control Radar (ASELSAN)
• ADVENT Combat Management System (HAVELSAN)
• ARES 2N Radar Electronic Support System (ASELSAN)

The first images showing that the ALBATROS NG air defense system would be included in PN MİLGEM had previously appeared. In the early stages of the project, it was planned to include 16 Chinese-origin HHQ-16 medium altitude air defense missiles. ALBATROS NG system; It includes a cold launch type vertical launch system, fire control units and CAMM-ER medium-range air defense missiles and can also be adapted to land platforms.

As the choice of anti-ship ammunition, it can be considered that Pakistan's anti-ship ballistic missile P-282, which can reach hypersonic speeds, will add strategic importance to PN MİLGEM for Pakistan. Anti-ship ballistic missiles, which have a long range thanks to their high speed and are difficult to intercept due to their maneuverability, are suitable for attacking strategic elements on land as well as enemy ships. There are no images of P-282, which was made public in 2020.



PN MİLGEM, which includes weapons and sensor systems from many different countries, also demonstrates the flexibility of the MİLGEM design and ADVENT battle management system for potential export customers.
You can find more information about PN MİLGEM in the 13th issue of Defense Turk Magazine.

CIWS is not similar to the ones used by US or China, will those be able to hit very fast moving targets? As the have only two barrels and can't fire large barrage to hit fast moving targets.
