A/c to @Bilal Khan (Quwa) cost of 8 subs is around $2-3 billion dollars. A Chineese member was saying that Sub projects in China are hidden
Type 039A is already AIP
What other Missiles we have?
Because the Pakistan specific subs are heavily customized to meet the specific demands of Pakistan Navy. The modifications in structure demands subsequent testing & further evaluation which takes time. Once the design is frozen and rest of systems are finalized the vessel then hit production line. That's the reason it's taking such long time for producing the very first sub and the time gap between each remains subs production is pretty less. (as they will be clones of already finalized product).
Even a custom build AIP can't take this long Janab. Specially when a country which we ordered two already has experience of building both AIP and Nuclear Submarines.
The kind of time they are taking I hope so or I am hoping at least something similar to this will come.

It might have to do something with our contract start date. Maybe we signed it earlier but implementation and payment installments were scheduled for post 2020.Even a custom build AIP can't take this long Janab.

Never ever will China sell the JL-2 - a strategic SLBM - to Pakistan, not sure why again without any substance such rumors are spread.
