Future of 2 Agosta-70s & 3 Agosta-90Bs in PN?

[black-hawk_101]

With the soon arrival of 4 Type-39A (S-20P) will PN going to sell their 2 Agosta-70s & 3 Agosta-90Bs to Burma which seems to be quite interested in these submarines and may be Midget submarines to SriLanka ?

 

[black-hawk_101]

Burma might easily buy 2 Agosta-70s & 3 Agosta-90Bs.
Sri Lanka might be interested in buying 3/4 Midget Submarines which PN has with Italian upgrade program.

Agosta 90b's are still best,Chines sub's aren't better then them.

With the soon arrival of 4 Type-39A

How much soon?

Burma might easily buy 2 Agosta-70s & 3 Agosta-90Bs.
Sri Lanka might be interested in buying 3/4 Midget Submarines which PN has with Italian upgrade program.

It's just a wish or they really have demanded them?

Nishan, I said you should join the Pakistan Military Academy with your high energy brain, not Continuo to spam PDF

They have done their training in 2009.

Should not sell any assets , we don't make these locally , thus we need to overhaul these during non peak time at harbor and keep them running

Agosta 70s are already old, they were going to be disposed off but instead PN decided to get them upgraded as a stop gap. Likely to be either sold or scrapped. Since they are upgraded and overhauled they can still be useful to some smaller navy.

Agosta 90Bs are still cutting edge, PN has no need to part with them specially since PN has so much maintenance TOT from France for them.

Why would Pakistan sell Agosta-90 submarines ?

They are good for another 20 years.

I am sure PN will because it has said that its quite expensive to operate French made submarines.
China is going to build 4 submarines in Karachi under ToT

Obsolete subs will soon be replaced inshaAllah. 4 systems directly coming from China will allow us to replace the older submarines which are costing us lot of money in terms of maintenance. 4 systems if manufactured in KS&EWs in 4 years will be a good pace of induction. Another summary of a ship manufacturing facility at Gwadar is pending in PM office.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Considering we are a small navy , we should retain all assets , and re-service the submarines

new subs will take time to induct and to have hand on them

That's discussion not a source or news at all.

China is handing over 4 Type-39As now and will allow to produce 4 more which can be produced in 2 dry docks in just 5 years or less and PN will produce 4 more. Which makes a total of 12 SSKs which are well enough.

These submarines will be out of service by the time these 8 come.
