Seems like Scorpion and Kilo will beat all of them. I like them for their ability to launch different kind of missiles. But I heard type 214s are very queit.

 

[Zabaniyah]

Scorpène class sounds awesome

 

[Skallagrim]

I heard the Bay of Bengal is not deep enough for the operation of a submarine.

 

[kobiraaz]

scorpion is costly and india bought it with T0T....

 

[Avisheik]

I heard the Bay of Bengal is not deep enough for the operation of a submarine.

average depth of bay of bengal is 2600m, maximum depth a sub claimed to go ~800m

 

[Luffy 500]

Yuan class and Type 214 seams good options. If our shipyards develop further we can even ask for TOT.

 

[integra]

My take shall be Type 214, considering it's shallow operational depth
required in covert operations (17 meters). Speed, non magnetic internal eq,
low emission profile and stealth characteristics.

As we have a gradual slope in our bay this criteria should be pointed out. This submarine unlike the
Yiuan class which is still to be designed (china, pakistan) or Scorpene class (india) is also used by
Japanese navy and Korean navy.

As we operate a frigate constructed by Hyundai (whom also has Type 214 in production)
should give us a neutral field among our neighbors. Can be made compatible
with the existing superior otomat platform .

For me, I prefer the kilo class.
Its quite cheap, compared to the others.
It comes with air defense systems
Its tried and tested
It is used both by china and india. So no problems with neutrality

Kilo class beat all of them for its offensive capability. But Type 214 has better chance of survivality for its fuel cell power source.

@Loki Rumor is that Bangladesh signed deal with china for two obsolete Ming Class Submarine!

I thought the rumor was for Song-class subs?

Only a limited number of Ming-class subs are in service with PLAN if I'm not mistaken. And yes, they are of a very old design.

But no doubt, Type-214 would have been the best.

How about our Agosta 90Bs ?

 

[Luffy 500]

Brother ,Are U suggesting PAK agostas? if so I don't think U people have the export license .

Can this gov get their hands on any sub, considering our disastrous foreign policy. Btw do U think the deal will be done by the BAL gov. They at best have 1 year left?

 

[Armstrong]

Brother ,Are U suggesting PAK agostas? if so I don't think U people have the export license .

Pakistan is planning to start commercial production of theAgosta 90B submarine with negotiations under way with threecountries as potential buyers.


"Negotiations are under way with three different Asian countriesfor the commercial production of a fourth, fifth and sixth Agosta90B," said Chief of the Naval Staff Adm Abdul Aziz Mirza.

Touu phir export license ho ga hiii shaid !

P.S Yeh 2000s kii baat hai !
