Pakistan nearing assembly stage of S20 submarine

Pakistan is preparing for the assembly of the S20, the export version of China's Type 039A Yuan-class diesel-electric submarine equipped with air-independent propulsion, according to a Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works official cited in the Canada-based Kanwa Defense Review.

This is the first time for a Pakistani official to reveal the nation's intention to purchase the Chinese submarine, according to the report. Pakistan completed its technical negotiations with China about importing six S20 submarines, though an agreed means of payment has delayed the signing of the deal.

Pakistan requires technology transfer from China, said the report. However, it wants all of its vessels to be equipped with its own fire-control and weapon systems.

Pakistan has only one ship building facility whilst China has more than one shipyard. For fast track purposes China will build at least 4 boats while the other 4 will be built at KSEW over a longer time scale. Western sensors and AIP will be integrated even though the Chinese sterling AIP is comparable to western AIPs. Pakistan would want to use their harpoons on these boats.

The type or types of Pakistani submarine order remains a mystery.

I think it would be 4 S26 and 4 Type 32

 

[FunkyGen]

I won't mind all these subs come along with a squadron of J-11 B
View attachment 227902

read 4th jf squadron

I think it would be 4 S26 and 4 Type 32

what's the difference?

 

[Cool_Soldier]

S20 is Yuan Class Submarine and its customized version for Pakistan would be S26 while Other interest is in Qing Class submarine which is slightly higher version.

See what game is going on....Its looks even Yuan class-S20 is really quiet submarine. S 20 with AIP and larger diameter tube will enable it to launch CM.....Right direction For PN....

One big mistake we buy 8 subs of one class this is a probleum we must go for 2 different type 4 each they offer different aspect of underwater war same class 8 subs i dont agree

Along with yuan we must go another class sub

Not just the harpoons. The SLCM in development as well.

pakistan would need more than one type sub. from what i know they will be procuring 8 subs. and my theory would be that 6 would be conventional aip subs with the possibilities of some being armed with nuclear cruise missiles. and the final 2 would certainly be nuclear armed but with nuclear propulsion? maybe.

Pakistan said they are not building nuclear subs . but they did say they are working on nuclear propulsion. read between the lines. so if pakistan is getting 2 nuclear subs they are the subs that will be nuclear amred. and the other 6 will not be nuclear armed .

there no doubt aip subs are more stealthier than nuclear so they will be patrolling near indian territory. where as the nuclear subs will be far out side indian waters but not to far and within range of its missiles.

what do you think? @Horus ,@Zarvan

 

[ZAC1]

AIP is more stealthier.Submarine can stay 30 days under water with AIP. No future war btw pakistan n india going to be more than this.
