Chinese Kilo subs are relatively new... as for Ming class it has been phased out.
OP clearly stated that 1/2 boats are expected to serve as Sindhurakshak entered into service 1997 and Sindhusastra in 2000.and all of them are being upgraded.China never upgraded their subs.and FYI,Russia is still using these Kilo Class subs which is the backbone of their SSK fleet and will continue for next decades as well as Lada Class showed major designing problem.and the point is not matching PLAN with sub to sub.but its the quality which is most important.NK operates over 70 subs,in that POV even PLAN and USN can't match them in a war..but its the quality that matters.
