According to a friend that works closely with HIT AK-1 hasn't entered serial production yet, only small batch production. I believe this is what these low numbers represent.

He is also of the view that AK-2 was renamed Haider.

The subs are no surprise.. But UGB,new CM,ASCM,etc are great news.
 
Its always a complete battery including search radar, fire control radar, launching vehicles (4 to 6 units) and other auxiliary systems.

one thing that still confuses me is that do we have 9 batteries or just 9 launchers.price tag is hinting that it is former.
 
Big question pn going for export version S20 (app 2300 tons) or PLAN version type 041 which are much heavier (app 3600 tons)


While there are clear difference between the S-20 and the Type 041, the former would appear to be the export variant of the later. S-20’s length is 66 meters [versus 73-75 meters for the Yuan], beam is 8 meters, draft is 8.2 meters, surface displacement is 1,850 tons and submerged displacement is 2,300 tons [both a bit less than the Yuan], maximum speed is 18 knots [a bit slower than the Yuan], cruise speed is 16 knots [the same as the Yuan], range is 8,000 nautical miles at 16 knots, endurance is 60 days and crew, 38 versus 58 for the Yuan. It is double hulled with maximum submerging depth of 300 meters. Different from the Type 041 exclusively for Chinese navy, the ship is not equipped with air-independent propulsion (but it may also be fitted with AIP (air-independent propulsion) system if a customer requests).

Isn't it the name of some older submarine of PN .... ??
It is!
It is the submarine with the first post world war II kill when it sank INS Khukri. The new class of subs being bought might be named after that ship.
yes it is .. PNS Hangor did sunk INS khukri ...

and they are naming new sub class as (hangor class Submarines )
 
By the way, @HRK what about this "Ship borne system with on Land attack missile and one anti-Ship missile" ?
Any idea?
Must be some UAV as i do not see us getting involved in "indigenous" development of such an helicopter.

Also have you been able to sort out those 500 IR SAMs? As discussed, they cannot be HQ16 missiles for the reasons stated earlier.
