Pakistan's top naval official says the Turkish-made state-of-the-art MILGEM-class ships will keep the country's enemies at bay
Pakistan's Admiral Amjad Khan Niazi says the corvette ships built for the country's navy by Türkiye are made with cutting-edge technology, with"surface-to-surface, surface-to-air weapon systems."
"Weakness invites aggression, but strength keeps your enemy at bay. So, the inclusion of the MILGEM-class ships will significantly strengthen the Pakistan Navy in a very big way," Pakistan Navy Chief Admiral Amjad Khan Niazi told Anadolu Agency in an exclusive interview in Istanbul on Friday. Niazi said the MILGEM ships are “very capable platforms, equipped with surface-to-surface and surface-to-air weapon systems.”
MILGEM vessels have a length of 99 metres , a displacement capacity of 2,400 tonnes, and a speed of 29 nautical miles. "In times of need, the two countries have stood by each other, and we have stood by each other on all international events as well as the issues that the two countries face," he added.
