This would be consistent with Pakistan’s long-standing goal of acquiring a sea-based nuclear deterrent to pursue an ambitious maritime strategy. According to Khan, since 2001 the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) has been working on KPC-3, a project “to design and manufacture a miniaturized nuclear power plant for a submarine.” In the long term, that may help Pakistan do less with more. PAEC and the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) have been working on a miniaturized plutonium warhead, a naval version of the Babur land attack cruise missile, which will further enhance Pakistan’s deterrent capability.

But doing more with less will also require Pakistan to be more efficient with the money it has on hand. “Strategic management has been another focus for the PN.” Khan says, referring to Pakistan’s Navy. To enhance the quality of manpower and improve efficiency, the navy has commissioned a review of its entire organization, and will restructure it where it deems necessary. Sharif certainly has the vision to turn Pakistan’s navy around. Whether he has the willpower is another question.

I would rather call the article Pakistan's Submarine achievment.

I hope it is not the older agosta90B in yard for the installation of MEMSA AIP

Any source to confirm its nuclear submarine

Agosta is 76 meters ... while this one is 66 meters Just same like S20 submarine

Old Agosta 70 being upgraded (but haven't they already been upgraded ?).

Might be 4th A-90B if we can built it, as there were rumors that a A-90B is being tested as CM testbed and can launch SLCMs.

Its been very long time, since Hamza was commissioned in 14 Aug, 2006....
This time it must be some thing new....

....

We were all already trolled by @Imran Khan couple of months ago..

Pakistani nuclear submarine took shape ?
