[Stephen Cohen]

Which model is this submarine and what is the price per unit

 

[A2Z]

Does the number 8 includes second hand subs or is it like 8 new chinese subs and then few second hand?
What about nuclear submarine? That should be our first priority.

 

[My-Analogous]

I bit it will be customize based subs. according to PN requirements.

Have heard from a very good source, that the miniaturized reactor/naval propulsion system and the various electrical systems have recently completed a key testing and reliability test, brothers assisted with various technical assistance.

It is all coming on line - with a version of S3, being further developed with MIRV the first SLBM.

Congratulations to the whole nation, for the effective birth of Pakistan Navy Strategic Force Command.
NSFC and our Second Strike Capability.

Pakistan Paindabad.

wait are you saying that we have a partially working nuclear submarine or MIRV on Shaheen 3? Can you kindly elaborate

 

[JohnyD]

Its possible only if Pak is sharing its Nukes with Saudi..otherwise, just a dream!

If true then this would be a really powerful punch for PN.

Its possible only if Pak is sharing its Nukes with Saudi..otherwise, just a dream!

What do you think will Pakistan do that?

 

[JohnyD]

What do you think will Pakistan do that?

yes, both are in desperate state ...Pak needs more fund to balance its defense vis a vis India but cant source that fund from its own economy..on the other hand, Saudi has fund but lacks offensive credible deterrence against its enemy like Iran who is close to acquiring Nukes....so, there is high probability that Pak will some day export its Nukes/Tech to KSA!

s3 is like >20>meters long how big a sub they wanna build

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Out of those 16, 10 are operational and India is making scorpions too, project 75i and Arihant, new class SSbN's and SSN's

What does Pakistan have now ?? 8 submarines out of which 3 are midget and all under 2100 tons and 10 frigates to the most. Sometimes its good to appreciate what your neighbor has done better than you. Indian navy builds most its ships in its own docks.

No kiddo we have 5 subs (3 with AIP) + 8 more AIP subs and more .. All these apart from midget subs (Also armed) that are in use with SSGN.


That 13 subs 11 with AIP .. Meanwhile not a single indian sin has AIP and they tend to explode while in harbour.

Pakistan navy is looking for submarine since 2007-08 and we were about to strike a deal for 6 submarine last year.Our economy is improving,so expect some stalled procurement of the last decade.

 

[Tameem]

Those 6 ATRs I couldn't find anything on them.

Govt approves purchase of 8 Chinese submarines, six ATRs aircraft for Pakistan Navy

 

[LonE_WolF]

Finally the long awaited submarine deal goes through

 

[Donatello]

I just hope they don't go for the pathetic Upholder class. They weren't good when new, definitely not good now.

The gentleman was dir procurement and projects so it was natural that he would push things forward.

What do you say, it would be Chinese Subs only or a mix of German and Chinese subs?
