Dude cost is the main issue... Pakistan Military Budget is somewhere areound what 8-10 billio and only 10% of it goes to PN.. now with buying 8 subs at the costs of 4-5 billion (or more) what's eft with them?? there were news back in 2009 to buy 4 of Typr-054A from China but then it was put on hold due to costs.. China is building for them at the cost of 400 million, do you expect the export version to be the same cost?? and how about arming them with both Defensive and offensive weapons?? then a single ship will cost more than 700 million..
Well, sir then we can raise questions that from where are they paying for the submarines too. As if I take there 5 years budget, to navy.... that's very meager, they still have acquired 6Harbin , 2 Alouttes, 3 ATR72s and one Hawker VIP aircraft in addition to 4 Turkish missile boats, ordering 6 cutters and refitting of Agosta 90B. So as the payment is made in installments, lets assume. They successfully executed these . Now forget about submarines, they aren't even left with money to buy another Azmath class. Where the money comes.... for the submarines.....and that too 5-6 billions....
China is surely funding these for them.So if they can fund so much, they can definitely spare 2 billions more. And by the way, if I believe the pakis.... then those 5-6 billion also accounts for 6 missile boats and 4 patrol boats for Navy and MSA respectively.
