These might be our Subs!
Two Yuan Class Submarines can be seen in the latest satellite imagery of the Wuchang shipyard in Wuhan, below.

According to H I Sutton, a renowned naval expert and analyst "multiple Type-039A/B Yuan Class submarines are being built at the Wuchang shipyard outside Wuhan. The Yuan Class is China's most modern in-service diesel-electric submarine. It is in some respects the "kiloization" of the preceding Song Class. But it differs significantly from either the song or KILO class boats by being equipped with Air Independent power (AIP).

The Wuchang yard is likely involved in both domestic and export production. The Royal Thai Navy's first submarine is known to be under construction there, and the Pakistan Navy's are likely too.

Not long at all.

First Khalid sub took 7 years (ordered in 1992, commissioned in 1998)
First IN Scorpene ordered in 2005 delivered in 2017, took 12 years


Chinese are working very fast you will find. Especially if the boats pictured are ours, than that is incredible speed.

Well I was thinking may be we will at least see first of 2 Submarines done by now

Sub construction is a slow business, also remember it is highly likely that China is making a unqiue sub (based on Yuan class) for Pakistani requirements. If we are adding Pak weapons or some sort of cruise missile capability and possibly Turkish systems, than that would require some more design time too

Hopefully these Subs will restore the balance of power in the region.
Not till SSNs are inducted, need speed and Endurance to get to station around Mumbai, Mangalore, Chennai or Bay of Bengal if PN wants to project an true offensive posture. SSNs will put IN Flat Tops on back foot deep in their own territory along with forcing IN to use P-8Is along their own cost line.

PN doesn't have an Friendly Naval Station available around that area where PN Subs ( SSKs ) could dock, replenish etc.
