Featured SSK Agosta 90B Class Attack Submarine Information Pool

But submarine need was there too. A70s are going to be retired. We needed more subs

And they have purchased Hangor for the need of expanding the sub arm but also because of its ability to give second strike via SLCM, and completing the nuclear triad

Thats so depressing. I always believed that Agostas could launch Babur 3 and wanted them to increase its range. I was hoping our hangor Class would be capable to launch SLBMs

French weapons are world class. They are expensive but they can deliver a knock out punch.

No it's not s20 or type 39, whatever it is, it's tailor-made for PAK. its taking a lot of time and money.

Quoting from an Indian Site.
"As Turkey's defense firm Savunma Teknolojileri Mühendislik (STM) continues modernizing Pakistan's Agosta 90B diesel-electric submarines, a satellite image from Karachi captures one back in the floating docks as sea trials are scheduled for early 2020".

He was referring to the comment in the picture that says "front section missing". He's asking why would it be like that in karachi, if upgrade happens in Turkey?

STM is implementing the upgrade at KSEW.

Well something fired the babur 3 recently again and it was neither a test plateform nor the hangoor

Where is SLBM to begin with...you need a SLBM first and sub later
