China to build four submarines in Karachi

Pakistan DESPERATELY needs a Good NAVY to secure Pakistan's Economic and Strategic interests. Good Move by Pakistan to Induct Chinese made submarines as quickly as possible and make the rest of them in Pakistan.
 
. .
It is still not clear what Pakistan is buying from China, there are only speculation that it is Yuan-class Type-041. Whatever comes lets hope the Sub is advance & equipped with modern technology.

PN needs Nuclear Subs as well, this will not only strengthen the defence but also will increase the fear factor in the hearts of enemies of Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD: China will build in Karachi four of eight submarines that it is selling to Pakistan.

Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain told at the inauguration of the Defence Export Promotion Organisation (DEPO) Display Centre in the federal capital that the deal for the acquisition of submarines from China had been finalised and four of them would be built here.

He further said that construction of the submarines would simultaneously begin in Pakistan and China.

China, he said, would transfer the technology to Pakistan for submarine construction.

The implementation of the agreement would augment the existing submarine related capacity. One of the three Agosta 90-B submarines in Navy’s fleet — PNS Hamza commissioned in 2008 — was assembled at the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works. The other two Agosta 90-B submarines — PNS Khalid and PNS Saad — were also indigenously overhauled and retrofitted with air-independent propulsion (AIP) systems in 2011.

The three Agosta 90-B submarines of French design form the core of Pakistan’s current submarine fleet that also includes two ageing Agosta-70 submarines.

Mr Hussain did not specify when the construction would begin, but said it would be happening soon. A training centre would be set up in Karachi for this purpose.

The minister did not either say which type of submarines were being purchased from China. It is, however, speculated that the deal was for Yuan-class Type-041 diesel-electric submarines equipped with AIP systems.

Navy has been pursuing different options for expanding its submarine fleet. Naval officials say that more submarines were needed to address force imbalance with India, which too is increasing and modernising its fleet of submarines.

Pakistan had earlier explored the options of buying submarines from France and Germany, but those deals did not materialise.

PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP: Mr Hussain said the government would encourage private-public partnership in defence production to improve the efficiency of the sector.

“We can compete with the best in the world only through a national effort,” he said, adding that the government would extend all possible cooperation to private sector in this regard.

He said that this was “the beginning of a new approach”.

The minister said the country needed indigenously developed hardware, which was also technologically innovative.

NEW NAVAL SHIPYARD: The minister expected progress on the proposal for a new deep-sea shipyard planned in Gawadar.

“The summary for the new shipyard is with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his approval is expected,” he said.

The shipyard is planned to be constructed by foreign investors on build-operate-transfer basis.

“We have already earmarked land for this purpose,” the minister said.

Mr Hussain hoped that the new shipyard would be able to get substantial maritime related business from Gulf and Arab countries.

OK 4 will be built in Pakistan and rest transferred from China, that's good but will they be able to launch cruise missiles?
And does anyone have an update on naval variant of Babur?

Pakistan will build four of the eight submarines it plans to purchase from China, potentially speeding up the timeframe for delivery of the class to the Pakistan Navy, according to Rana Tanveer Hussain, minister for defence production.

He told journalists on 6 October that the four boats will be built at the Karachi Shipyard & Engineering Works (KSEW), which is run by the Pakistan Navy.

"The two projects [construction of four boats in China and four boats in Pakistan] will begin simultaneously," he said. Hussain added that a training centre will also be created at KSEW.

Though the minister did not specify the types of boats that are being purchased, Pakistani and Western officials have previously told IHS Jane's they are likely to be the Type 041 'Yuan'-class diesel electric attack submarine or a variant of that platform, already in service with China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).

I am sure that 4 Type-39A are coming directly from China which are recently constructed and 4 will be produced with Chinese help @ KS&EWs and later on 4 more will be produced from 2020-2025.

These will replace the 2 Agosta-70 in 2020 & 3 Agosta-90Bs till 2030. So have PN scrapped the Daphane submarines?
