Any info about what type of submarine in discussion...
Germany doesn't make nuclear subs, look at the title of the thread. What can be more stupid?
This is a very misleading article. German Navy has about half dozen submarines all of the 212 class. These are the quietest submarines in the world equipped with AIP. Pakistan has been in talks with Germany for acquiring 214 (export version of 212) for at least a couple of years but nothing came out of it mainly due to lack of funds.
There is huge difference between Submarines that can fire nuclear tipped missiles and a nuclear submarine. For example German 212 has a submerged displacement of about 1800 tons and a crew of about 27. Germany does not have any nuclear powered submarine.
On the other hand, UK Trafalgar SSN is 5,300 tons with complement of 130 officers and men. IN Chakra also displaces 8,000 tons. IN Arihant (under construction) is 6,000 tons with a complement of 95. Chinese SSN's are also in the 8000 tons class
Understand PN Augusts 90B's are being equipped with nuclear tipped Babur missiles. Would you classify Augusta 90B as SSN?
punjabimunda LOL germany doesn't care about india... india cant even protect itself from india, no one is scared of india, trust me.
The only navies in the world to possess a nuke sub are US, Russia, UK, France, China and India. Germany doesn't make any SSN or SSBN to begin with.
The Israeli Sub in question is the dolphin class which is capable of firing nuclear tipped cruise missile, but isn't every submarine armed with CM's capable of doing that? Stupid thread and ridiculous source.
are you mad not just kiddingif any country gives pak a nuke sub that country wont get a good treatment from india, something they dont wanna want happen to them.
in past we were interested in type-214 sub quietest non nuclear subAny info about what type of submarine in discussion...
June 3, 2012, in the Sunday edition of the German Der Spiegel, the Editor in Chief Georg Mascolo wrote that months-long research proves that the submarines Germany supplies to the Israeli navy make use of equipment capable of carrying nuclear weapons; the article claims that this was confirmed by German officials.
This statement contradicts earlier remarks by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said that the vessels cannot carry nuclear weapons. The contradicting statements apparently damage Germanys position.
Yet, an important clue explaining the contradiction was hidden in the article. Der Spiegel disclosed that Germany is conducting negotiations with Pakistan over the sale of nuclear submarines. This means that the German interest is now to change the public status of these submarines.
Apparently the time for the signature of the agreement with Pakistan is approaching. Keeping the nuclear capabilities of these submarines secret once another country purchases them would have been practically impossible; especially when the two countries purchasing them are not in friendly terms.
Germany probably chose the timing of this disclosure as an answer to Israels recent purposeful insults towards Germany (see Germanys Humiliation). In any case, a new front is being opened in the Middle East, this one certified as being the quietest of all. German Dolphin-class subs are even quieter than nuclear-propelled submarines.

Pakistan should more focus on getting Submarines from China than Germany first it was said that we will get 3 Submarines but no deal was made also Germany can back out even after signing the contract on American Pressure so Pakistan should get the submarines from China and with TOT and make arrangements and equip themselves for producing such Machines in Large NumbersJune 3, 2012, in the Sunday edition of the German Der Spiegel, the Editor in Chief Georg Mascolo wrote that months-long research proves that the submarines Germany supplies to the Israeli navy make use of equipment capable of carrying nuclear weapons; the article claims that this was confirmed by German officials.
