Seems so, the recent PN Chief statement of looking into Chinese subs must be a msg to the Germans that things need to get finalized soon or else other options are there too, in my opinion that is as don;t see any other need for saying so.
taimikhan, a Chinese deal and a German deal are not mutually exclusive. It may well be true that PN will look into increased cooperation with the Chinese, especially with large surface ships, but that doesn't have to be only if the German deal breaks down. I, personally, don't think that statement was a message at all. I think it was a statement that expressed the intentions of the Pakistan Navy, and it was something we all knew anyway. I don't know why, for some reason, everyone on this forum took that to be "U-214 deal is in troubled waters".
Well, I guess the thread is a hypothetical one. Maybe the thread starter is panicing, or maybe he is genuinely concerned, who knows?I did not read it anywhere, only topic of thread made me think about it. Why look for options when you want to buy something.
But, the answer to your question is, why not consider other options? I bought a new 40" LCD TV on Boxing Day (good deals at Best Buy). I looked at about 5 or 6 different brands before buying one, even though I kinda knew eventually I would settle for either Sony or Samsung. Ended up bringing home a Samsung, but now I know that I made a good deal. Had I not looked at the other options, I would have had doubts over my decision. Had all the Samsungs sold out, or if the deal offered wasn't good enough, I would have gladly brought back a Toshiba, because I looked at other options.
