The news about them are not very reliable. Navy concerned with induction of S20 subs as top priority

U mean Qing class which are the most quiet sub of Asia?

U mean Qing class which are the most quiet sub of Asia?

S20 is based on type 41 yuan series which was the improved model of 039a yuan with AIP.

At IDEX-2013, China revealed a scaled-down version of Type 039A submarine designated as S20, specially intended for export. The main difference between S20 and Type 039A is that the AIP system on the original Type 039A is deleted, but can be available and easily integrated due to modular design of S20, if potential customers choose to purchase AIP systems separately. Due to its modular design, a variety of sensors and weapons can also be easily adopted up on customers' requests.[9] Specifications of S20:[10]

Structure: double hulled
Length: 66 meter
Beam: 8 meter
Draft: 8.2 meter
Surface displacement: 1850 tons
Submerged displacement: 2300 tons
Maximum speed: 18 knots
Cruise speed: 16 knots
Range: 8000 nautical miles @ 16 knots
Endurance: 60 days
Crew: 38 total
Maximum depth: 300 meters

Pn is getting s20 with aip plus other custom gizmo it’s weight 2800 tons and length is 77 meters


Hangor Class Submarine

The PN officially disclosed some of the specifications of its forthcoming Hangor-class air-independent propulsion (AIP)-equipped submarines (SSP). As per the Karachi Shipyards &Engineering Works (KSEW), the Hangor SSP has a displacement of 2,800 tons, a length of 76 m, draught of 6.2 m and maximum speed of 10 knots. Interestingly,the Hangor SSP is heavier (2,800 tons vs. 2,550 tons) than the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) S26 and is also apparently slower (10 knots vs. 15 knots).

Speed information seems to be wrong usually surface speed is around 8- 12 knots and dived speed in around 18-25 knots for conventional subs

Interesting. The heavier weight and slower speed could denote a nuclear deterrence role.

In an impressive fire power display, Live Weapon Firing was conducted by Pakistan Navy's Fast Attack Craft (Missile), in the North Arabian Sea. The indigenously developed Cruise Missile, has anti-ship missile and Land Attack capability. Vice Admiral Kaleem Shaukat, Vice Chief of the Naval Staff witnessed the live firing onboard Pakistan Navy Ship.
The missile accurately hit its target on land signifying the impressive capabilities of the indigenous missile System. The successful live weapon firing has once again demonstrated the credible fire power of Pakistan Navy and the impeccable level of indigenization in high tech weaponry achieved by Pakistan's defence industry. This is a clear manifestation of Government's resolve to achieve self reliance in this field.
Speaking on this occasion, Vice Chief of the Naval Staff expressed his utmost satisfaction on the operational readiness of Pakistan Navy Fleet and commended the efforts of all those involved in achieving this significant milestone successfully. He emphasized the need to capitalize on indigenous defence capabilities. Vice Chief of the Naval Staff also reaffirmed the resolve of Pakistan Navy to ensure seaward defence and safeguard national maritime interests at all costs. He also appreciated the efforts made by our Engineers and Researchers in making the project a success.

Pakistan’s Navy Test Fires Indigenous Anti-Ship/Land-Attack Cruise Missile
The test launch from a Pakistan Navy fast attack craft reportedly took place in the Arabian Sea on April 23.

The Pakistan Navy has successfully test fired an indigenously developed unidentified anti-ship/land-attack cruise missile from a fast attack craft in the North Arabian Sea on Tuesday, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media arm of the Pakistan Armed Forces, said in an April 23 statement.

“The missile accurately hit its target on land signifying the impressive capabilities of the indigenous missile system,” the statement said. “The successful live weapon firing has once again demonstrated the credible fire power of Pakistan Navy and the impeccable level of indigenization in high tech weaponry achieved by Pakistan’s defense industry.”

Vice Admiral Kaleem Shaukat, the vice chief of the Naval Staff, witnessed the live firing onboard a Pakistan Navy ship, along with other senior officers and officials.

While not specified by ISPR, the surface combatant used for the test launch appears to have been an Azmat-class fast attack craft, three of which are currently in service with the Navy. The fast attack craft is based on China’s Type 037II Houjian-class missile corvette. While the first two Azmat-class ships were built in China, the third fast attack craft was assembled in Pakistan. The last Azmat-class corvette reportedly has been fitted with indigenously built dual-triple-cell missile launchers.

According to Quwa Defence News & Analysis Group, Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense Production had planned to develop an indigenous missile system for the Azmat-class by October 2018.

ISPR did not reveal the missile type tested on the April 23. The missile fired in today’s test could either be the Harba anti-ship and land-attack cruise missile (LACM/ASCM), which was last test fired in January 2018, or a sea-launched version of the Babur 1B LACM/ASCM. (A third possibility is a sea-launched variant of the Zarb land-based ASCM system.) The existence of the Harba LACM/ASCM was fired revealed in 2017. It is thought to be a long-range sea-skimming cruise missile with an estimated range of 450 to 700 kilometers. There is speculation that the missile is a derivative of the Babur missile series.

The Babur 1B was last test fired in April 2018. According to ISPR, the missile “incorporates advanced aerodynamics and avionics that can strike targets both at land and sea with high accuracy, at a range of 700 kilometers.” The statement notes that the terrain-skimming cruise missile “is capable of carrying various types of warheads.” In April 2018, Pakistan also announced the second successful flight test of the Babur-3 nuclear-capable submarine-launched cruise missile (SLCM). Both the Babur 1B and Babur 3 SLCM are reportedly nuclear-capable.

The Babur missile series is an essential component to Pakistan’s deterrence strategy.

Key PointsThe Pakistan Navy has conducted another test-firing of an indigenously developed cruise missileThe weapon is being tested amid heightened tensions with India over the long-standing Kashmir dispute

The Pakistan Navy has conducted another test-firing of what appears to be a shipborne variant of an indigenously developed cruise missile.

The weapon was fired from its latest Azmat-class patrol craft, PNS Himmat (1027), in the North Arabian Sea, the Pakistan Armed Forces' official media communications group known as the inter-services public relations (ISPR) office revealed on 23 April.

In January 2018, Himmat conducted a similar test-firing of the weapon. On both occasions, the ISPR office stopped short of disclosing the type of missile used in the firings, only noting that it has anti-ship and land-attack capabilities, and that the weapon has been developed in-country.

The test announced in April 2019 was also described as one that has "accurately hit its target on land", but no further details were given on this, including the type of target deployed, and its distance from Himmat at the time of firing.

Images of the launch released by the ISPR office suggest a weapon length of between 6 m and 7 m, when taken in relation to Himmat 's overall beam. Based on its visible markings, it is probable that the missile is the 'Harbah', which is shipborne variant of Pakistan's indigenously developed Hatf 7 (Babur) short-range cruise missile.

Pakistan is known to be pursuing air-, ship-, and submarine-launched variants of the Babur cruise missile to complement its line-up of longer-ranged ballistic missiles.
