Thanks.Type 039B but are being delivered late.We will be getting them one-by-one i.e: when 1st complete it will be delivered than 2nd constructed than given and son on or they will deliver set of 4 all-together.
Navy will get first one in 2022 and No.8 in 2028
 
MODP 2016-2017

no doubt when first steel is cut we will know about it

with standard Chinese break neck speed we can expect them to be online quickly after 2022

I mean look how long it took for the Agostas from France, signed in 1992 and last commission was 2006

submarines take time big engineering challenge

Hi,

That is a very interesting question---. The subs are built in sequence---. When the first sub is manufactured and put thru its paces---it is also being tested for any issues to any modifications that might be needed for the upcoming subs---.

Now it could be possible / very likely that the EW package on the last 4 subs maybe much more advanced than that of the first 4 subs---the first 4 subs would be guaranteed pretty much exact package---.

But the most important part is the crew---you need a minimum of 2 set of crews for each sub for the purpose of rotation---.

It is as tedious to prepare a crew ready to operate the sub as much as it is to build the sub---. Then you also need to have techs on the shore and servicing capabilities as well---.

So you start building them even before you get the first sub---by the time your first sub is 80% finished---your crew is pretty much ready to operate the sub---. And then you put the sub thru its paces and the crew thru its paces and both get used to each other and learn to operate---.

And while you are doing that---your second sub is being built as well and you also are preparing a crew to operate the second sub as well---and so on---.

The contract was actually signed in Sept 1994. It took France 3.5 years to build the first one. PNS Khalid was laid down in July 1995 and launched for sea trials in December 1998. Had they made the other 2 as well, they would have been inducted much earlier but as Pakistan was involved in the construction of the other two, the time frames were stretched, as would be expected.

Get ready for SLBM capability with these subs. Vertical launch tubes are most likely to be a part of this sub... can someone share armament details ? Is this going to be an answer to Indian SLBM sub ?
