The Type 095 is most likely the Type 055 of the SSN.

And the Type 093B is equivalent to the Type 052D in the SSN world.

Some Western sources (including one that probably personally tracked Chinese subs) still claim Chinese SSNs and SSBNs are very loud, even in silent patrol mode. IF that is the case, and still the case with the Type 095, what are the chances the Russians maybe willing to sell their Yasen-M technology to China, at a considerable price, and that China would be willing to buy it, to leapfrog to nearly the same level as the current USN submarines?

Granted, a lot of the public data on Chinese maybe outdated, but sub designs take longer then any other platform to catch-up. Perhaps the PLAN “Olympics” experimental submarine was a single hull design modeling what a future type 095 would look like, and the PLAN may have caught up. But while the PLAN catches up to where the USN is now in a number of years, the new block of Virginia and columbia boats will have been built.

Besides quieting the subs, there is automation, reactor, communications, and weapons technology that the Russians have developed over nearly the last century, and “combat” tested over decades of patrols.

A lot of the technology could be applied to SSKs and sold to a lot of countries as well.

If you want to save your time, energy, attention, etc...Don't give them attention. Nearly all western media, and institutions, nearly all deserve to be despised.
The only thing they can provide is only propaganda. No one in the world except the Chinese top brasses can tell you the truth about the ultra-secret topic of Chinese submarines.

But will the Chinese top brass release that kind of data? In this niche domain, we only have to go on the word of both sides and figure out who is telling the truth.
