Pakistani Navy’s PNS Yarmook, the lead ship of Yarmook-class OPVs, equipped with ASELSAN’s systems has joined the NAVDEX 2025 taking place in the UAE.
PNS Yarmook is seen with ASELSAN’s SMASH 200/30 naval RCWS, fitted with a 30x173 mm Mk44 Bushmaster II chain gun. The Turkish Navy and Indonesian Coast Guard also use SMASH 200/30.
The Yarmook class is a class of four OPVs built by Damen in Romania. The OPVs were built in two batches, with the second batch having a larger displacement and complement. The design is based on Damen’s OPV 2600, which has an ideal displacement for use in the wide theatre where the Pakistani Navy operates.
