Except the US doesn't produce conventially powered submarines since the Barbel class (built 1956 – 1959, in commission 1959 – 1990), so that would be comparing S26T with a US SSN, which is apples and oranges ..... Also, I wouldn't says that the Yuan class is (much) inferior to Russian Kilo's or Lada. Besides, 8 near-peer subs is better then 0 peer subs.Uh oh, look at this dude mannnn
Konstantin Sivkov says that that the submarines are inferior to subsurface vessels produced in Russia and the United States.

Yes
Just one thing, the US produced the last conventional subs in 1950s so. . . .
As for Russians, well they have some time proven technology at play in there subs, the Chinese lack that. Furthermore a lot is not known about these Chinese submarines and specially the configration PN have opted for so lots of speculations!! But if you look at the other arms of military and the hardware Chinese are producing for them at home (since a lot more is known about those) it will be safe to say that Chinese have come a long way!!! Surely the subs cant be compared to fighter aircrafts but i am just talking about the technological advancements and industrial support, just as an example. I am confident that the subs will serve us well. Besides, these are the ones that we will be operating so they will be better for us compared to what we wont be getting anyway!!
it is safe to assume that these subs will be better than upgraded Augusta 90B and that is pretty dam good
I cannot say anything unless we can be sure about the specification and configuration we are going to get. There is not much available on that.it is safe to assume that these subs will be better than upgraded Augusta 90B and that is pretty dam good
Submarine diesel technology is hardly new, but these engines are built to exacting standards to ensure reliability under extreme conditions. MTU has been building them for more than 50 years. The engine delivered to China for the Song and Yuan classes, the MTU 396 SE84 series, is one of the world's most widely used submarine power plants. Each of the Chinese submarines has three MTU diesels, according to technical specifications listed in Chinese military affairs journals and websites.
I think people are forgetting that the predecessor of this variant (song class) actually surfaced adjacent to a USN CBG and did so while being undetected. I think acoustically the sub will be fine.
