Pakistan will be the first country to purchase the 052D!
Different from Saudi Arabia's empty talk,
Pakistan really buys weapons,
Saudi is just talking and never does anything!
Pakistan is now buying our 054A frigates, which are around 4,000 tons, considered medium-sized warships. The 052D warship belongs to a class of about 7,000 tons, which is a medium-to-large warship, and its strength is completely different. The main difference is in the vertical launch units, and thus the combat capability is also different. In addition, the 052D warship can be equipped with the DF-17 anti-ship missile, which is a powerful weapon that can sink an Indian aircraft carrier with one shot.
If sold to Pakistan, it would truly lead to a significant leap in Pakistan's military capabilities, no longer needing to fear the bullying of the Indian Navy. Because Saudi Arabia has been hyping up the purchase of 12 052D warships for many years, but there has been no follow-up. Therefore, Saudi Arabia is a typical example of only talking but not buying. Every time, they use our weapons as bait, then go on to buy American warships, always like this. So, once Saudi Arabia encounters any problem, we cannot even guarantee to protect them. Although we are friends, even if a new Saudi king comes, he will still be our friend. Anyway, no matter who is in charge of Saudi Arabia, they have to sell oil, and we have to buy oil from Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan really wants to buy the 052D warship, it depends on whether we approve or not. It also depends on India's performance. If India continues to be so arrogant, then the sale of the 052D warship to Pakistan will become a reality. In international relations, interests come first. If India keeps damaging our interests, then sorry, Pakistan will get the best weapons equipment.
