PN was initially interested in acquiring 3 German U boats However due to economic reasons deal did not materialize. Now the talk is about acquiring Chinese submarines. However deal yet to materialize.

PN is in urgent need to replace the 2 older Agosta 70 submarines + additional boats to have decent numbers. What I want to know is when PN bought the 3 Agosta 90 submarines, it had received TOT to license produce the submarines. If PN has the license than why it did not purchase additional Agosta 90s to complement the 3 it has in its fleet. Given the infrastructure it would have been easy to induct in PN and cost wise still cheaper than German submarines.


Agosta 90s may be from 90’s, but they are still formidable submarines. It would be nice to have the German boats or the Chinese with larger displacement. Since none of these deals have materialized, than why not Agosta 90s.

Augusta 90B came with transfer of technology as one was assembled in Pakistan and the other was built here. So why cant we build more of Augusta subs?

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

Firstly Agosta's are being decommissioned hence if PN increases the numbers they would have problems to maintain them. The French are not willing to sell the Scorpane as India is a user and has also order more.

The only subs that can be added immediately are the German U214/216. There is no hurdle in getting the spares as Turkey and South Korea produce these subs and are also using them.

Our current naval defense capabilities stand on the back of submarines. The more we have the better our naval strength be which will allow us to protect our shores against enemy offensive more properly. We were starting our own indigenous submarine program. Is it still being worked upon or have we scrapped it due to lack of funds?

I am gonna guess Saudis are paying

Yesterday we went out for dinner and Saudi consulate picked up the tab

 

[airmarshal]

The Urdu paper states the Chinese sub can dive up to 300 metres? Isnt that too shallow?

Also how good are sub's acoustics? It may stay under water for 60 days but how about its noise levels?

 

[insight-out]

Let me play devil's advocate here.

What if this is a bold move by China to enter the Arabian Sea. Deploying 8 new submarines in the region under its own flag would raise alarm, and would be a direct challenge to India and the US. What better way then to cloak the move under a sale to Pakistan.

So is it possible that Pakistan would have agreed to play along and announce the sale, while allowing China to operate the submarines?
