Why are the parameters and indicators of 054A not 052D! Why does Pakistan Railway continue to introduce four 054A frigates? I think there are the following aspects!
1): Pakistan Railway's military expenditure is tight (limited): in 2020, Pakistan Railway's military expenditure will be about 1 1 billion dollars! Among them, the naval military expenditure is about 2.2 billion US dollars! So Batie doesn't have enough money to buy large warships! 054A is relatively cheap! Moreover, the warship firepower configuration is relatively large! Let India's "A San Ge" dare not act rashly! Very suitable for Pakistani Railway Navy!
2): Batie Navy is only used for offshore defense! There is no need for large ocean-going attack warships! The endurance of 4000 kilometers like the 054A frigate is enough for the offshore defense of the Pakistani Railway!
To sum up the above reasons: 054A is worse than 052D! However, the price of 054A is reasonable, which is very suitable for Pakistani railway offshore defense! So 4 ships will be introduced before 202 1!
