Nope mate, we will not upgrade the French tech, instead will inject the new Turkish tech in it.

Simple! Remove French tech and then put Turkish tech instead!

STM is a world class organization with capabilities at par with DCNS or better. The work will be done in Pakistan. The whole process is scheduled to take 12 months for each submarine.

Just a tad bit too far

You are saying remove Bentley steering and put mehrbani steering in place how it can integrated with rest of system

Turkey have German tech we have French sub it a bit different

They will replace french electronics and subsystems with turkish ones. Just like u can put aftermarket parts into a car (includong electronics) this is conceptually the same, just on a much larger and grander/more complex scale.

While STM may not be more advaced than dcns they are likely close enough. Plus if u look at recent tenders from france they have been underwhelming to say the least (previous sub tender was reworked scorpene). DCNS doesnt necessarily offer Pakistan it's best. Also its more expensive usually and PN will run the risk of France not returning vessels or stopping work at a critical time of need.

It is the same as the perry frigate modernisation. We replaced the critical subsystems like battle managment system command controll system all consoles and other systems . After than you can integrate what you want.

The French have lost their way in Pakistan, and DCNS and Thales are on the wrong path. Pakistan is looking towards Turkey as a better option than the Chinese, in absence of transitional European suppliers.

You noted earlier that the Navy is a secretive organization, so I imagine that this is merely the tip of what is possible in terms of Turkey, submarine technology (or subsystems), etc.

Turkey is trying to construct its own submarine.Design,construction etc.As we all know it is full of sub systems which we have some of them.

It's probably good to note that STM has a secondary organization that is tasked to reverse engineering complex platforms. Since Turkey is looking to develop it's own indigenous Submarines with next decade getting as much knowledge on such platforms could very well be crucial to reaching next stage in self reliance, Pakistan playing a big role behind the scenes I'm sure of it.

@cabatli_53 Bro, do you remember a Turkish company I believe it was KALE. Was tasked with helping to modernise USN submarine. Im unable to find link it was a while back.. I believe BAE systems was main supplier.

STM is a systems integrator, and much of the systems shall come from Turkish and other companies. Regardless, this is a big win for Turkish naval industry.

I couldn't remember bro but I will check some source for it !

So pleased to see Turkey taking gigantic leaps in development of advanced military technologies. Every accomplishment Turkey makes, every milestones she crosses, makes us Pakistanis as proud as if they were our own. And why shouldn't we be proud, we're one nation after all.
Godspeed my Turkish brothers. May you continue to rise, grow, prosper and reclaim the mantle of leading global power.
