China can build 4 in 4 years and Pakistan will build the other four in about 4/6 years, so the max is10 years with sea trials it might go up to 12 years, but it is more probable 10 years in all.. one should remember that these AIP Qing subs are some of the most sophisticated and modern subs outthere, they will be at least as heavy as the kilo subs or even much heavier if they are designed for the second strike capability, maybe just four of them while the remainig 4 will be hunter killers and conventional strke subs..
That's good. Pakistan will slowly induct new sub. This mean instead of getting 8 subs based on today's technology, the newer ones can be modified with updated sensors and stuff during their construction.why so long? what special submarine they are making? as MOD book the deal already finalised in 2015?
dont worryWell.I did say that the construction won't begin before 2017-18 as all Chinese submarine yards are occupied.
The first sub will begin sea trials in early 2022.
http://m.hindustantimes.com/india/i...es-parrikar/story-KKUQsQOh7WPdd4M8Ydl8GI.htmlQ. Pakistan is on course to buy 8 diesel-electric submarines from China in what would be one of Beijing's biggest exports. How do you think it will change the dynamics in the Indian Ocean region?
A. Of course, a submarine in itself is a very powerful platform in the ocean. It may, however, not directly pose a threat to India. But it does become a weakness in your armour of controlling the ocean. We will have to match it. I do not see it as a big problem because we will have enough submarines by the time Pakistan gets these 8. By the time they get the deliveries, we can manufacture 15-20 submarines.
