@vikas...are you blind? i dont blame you with the number of illiterates in india, the article clearly says it was made in pakistan by chinese and pakistanis.
@Omar : It will be a terror for the terrorists
@Vikas: Its constructed in Karachi Shipyard and fitted with state of the art weapons and sensors including missiles
You dont look at the name you only look at what kind of weaponry it can harbor. I know it has the capacity to take C802 which is the Pak/Chinese version of Harpoon missile apart from the original Harpoon missile. If someone knows about this missile he might be well aware that this deadly weapon is a force to be reckon with maximum precision having anti-shipping capability.
Dehshat is Urdu for "Terror", isn't it? Given Pakistan's notoriety and that our military has widely and frequently been accused of supporting Terrorists, was this a good idea for naming a naval vessel?
WOW this ship is gonna scare off all Pakistani fish near Pakistani Littoral waters :d is that why they named it PNS Dehshat :d heheheh ?
@Vikas: It will be used to arrest Indian spies posing as fishermen who can't get their directions right and end up in Pakistani waters all the time somehow. Enjoy :)
Made in China and Painted in Pakistan. It's good only for coast guard and fishing activity. By the way, does it use water as fuel, to sail on water?
'Dehshat? Really? The way things are going Pakistan should be rather call these things 'Aman' 'Tolerance' etc.
Terrible name!
Look at Dehshat and burst into laughter. Oh God!
Dehshat what kind of a name this is. Sailors on board of this will be called dehshat gard?
