"Can you guys recall the new canister for the Babur? Any clue as to why the canister all of a sudden became cylindrical and reinforced?"

That version of the Babur was hot launched. A hot launched missile cannot be used on a submarine. Rather a cold-launch has to be employed if a vertical system is employed. However, I am sure Pakistan can develop that technology. Otherwise, the LACM would have to be pushed out via the torpedo tubes and then launched.

How Pakistan spends its own money it completely its own business. If you are asking me from an Indian perspective - then I am actually glad they are buying Chinese submarines and not Russian, French or German ones. People think twice before buying Chinese make mobile handsets - you think defence equipment should be sourced from there?

Had you read and understood Post #129, on this very thread, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Sir, Are you aware that there are 4 types of Yuan class in existence?

And the answer to your question is yes. The degree of customization, access to the latest missile technology, transfer of technology (in terms of production and maintenance), plus favorable financial terms all role into a very competitive package.

Secondly, when deals like these are done, they have serious positive repercussions on other aspects of the relationship as well.

Folks, DO NOT under estimate the Agusta-90Bs! they are quieter and deadlier than any Song variant to date and are highly digitized, powered for very rapid action. There is a reason why they were the only conventional attack subs in french navy because they have proved their worth! Coupled with an efficient MESMA AIP, SUBTICS combat data system and exocet, harpoon, black shark and other weapons, they are menacing and are silent killers in this part of the world till Yuan, Akula comes. This has been proved repeatedly in exercises by Pak Navy itself !

This is why we are NOT going for the Song class

You grow up, I read this on Financial Times and posted it here, like I clearly mentioned. If you dont understand this, then go back to school.

1- You have not presented an article, but a blog post on FT Blogs, which has nothing to do with FT (I was wondering an FT article without link being posted )
2- Military in Pakistan does not merely depend upon the support of the Government but also have its commercial enterprises (e.g. Bahria Complexes in Karachi, Askri Bank, Fauji Fertilizers, Defence Housing Authority etc) so it should preety much clear up doubts that why military of "Cash Strapped Pakistan) can spend on defense more than allocated.

Even normal yuans are still very advanced. Songs were modified Kilos. Yuans are far larger and much more advanced,

 

[Obambam]

good move by our neighbors. but we are going to have 6 diesel scorpion subs and ARIHANT and 2 AKULA class nuke subs. so no need to worry. plus we are getting 12 p 8 Poseidon.

Yes and equally good move by India. I am sure all the impoverished and dying people of India are jumping up and down and clapping their hands with joy to this great news!

Please stop.

 

[Obambam]

Please stop.

Yes I agree with you Yuans are very advanced and it is great for Pakistan as it fits their budget and military criterias. They can gain valuable experience from it and has the option to impliment their choice of weapon and ammunitions.

 

[GodlessBastard]

I have always said that submarines are the best way to go for the PN. Good to see that they are going through with it.

At this stage, surface combat vessels are just a liability for them.

Song class has nothing to do with Kilo. Only Yuans bear resemblance to Kilo.
