pls educate us on these subs

-Export version of Chinese Type 039A "Yuan" Class submarine

-Scaled down version of the original sub

-Modular construction

-Kilo design influences on the original susubb

-Displacement 1850 ton & 2300 ton

-crew of 38,endurance of 60 days and has 6 torpedo tubes for 533 mm torps

-max depth of 300m

-S20s lack AIP,but can be easily fixed

The deal will be customised for Pakistan. three submarines were being sold for $1.1 billion to Thailand while Pakistan will be paying around 4 billion to 5 billion for eight which makes one think there is some customisation done or there is more to this deal that meets the eye. There are chances this may be the C class of the the Type 39 because of the costs involved.

Abay, Jahil hee rehna....

Where does it confirm such specs as you quoted?

S20 is the export version of the Type39A also known as Type41. Since Pakistan will tailor the boat to its own needs, it can be callled S20 or whatever Pakistan wants.......and be anywhere from 2000 to 3000 tons....if Pakistan goes for the SLCM option, it will be be closer to 3000tons.
This Submarine design is fully Chinese since the Type039 Song Class.

There is nothing left to upgrade. They need to be retired.

It's probably not worth $4-5bn. I think closer to $2 to 2.5bn, but if the $4-5bn figure is true, then I expect this deal involves more than just submarines, possibly include frigates?
