Which is the latest AIP solutions today ? Aren't sterling a new solution?
The S-26 and S-30 submarines are being developed by China solely for the Pakistan Navy, and they will not enter service with the PLA Navy. The Pakistan Navy will procure four S-26s and four S-30s. China will also supply Pakistan with a submarine rebuild centre (SRC) that will be located at Ormara, and a VLF communications facility that will be located at Turbat. Deliveries of the S-26 submarines will begin by 2017.

Seems your idea already under consideration.
New Recruit
Fuel-cells is where the industry is heading. It started with Germany, but India, France and Russia have similar fuel cell AIP programs too. Given the reality of using Sterling AIP in warm water, I would be surprised (and disappointed) if the Pakistan Navy isn't pushing for fuel-cell AIPs as well.Which is the latest AIP solutions today ?

Afaik s20 with aip. Dont know the type of aip but if sterling then thats a form of aip that has seen little further development in the past 2 decades.

MESMA would have to be imported from France. If the Navy is planning of picking up a Western AIP, it would be advised to go for a fuel-cell design. DCNS just revealed the FC2G fuel-cell AIP to succeed the MESMA in its product portfolio.Which AIP is best in the world and why? How much endurance it gives underwater?
Is pump jet / water jet better then other conventional propulsions? Can it be used in conventional submarines?
Where MESMA AIP stands in above equation?
I think Pakistan will push to have the new submarines capable of launching sub-launched cruise missiles (SLCM), that is the simplest way to get a strategic deterrence at sea. But I don't know about SLBMs.Could the late induction time and high cost of this deal be an indication that Pakistan might get some Subs which can fire SLBM's on its own design
Also is it possible for a conventional sub to fire a Cruise missile?

Will India P-18 be able to find these subs?
You sure about that ? because If americans can intercept Chinese influenced Anti ship missiles, What is stopping Barak-8 from intercepting sub sonic Harpoons ?

BsYes, India's P-8 can track any sub in the world.
