What's new

IHS Janes | China, Pakistan set for submarine deal by end of year.

I take it this sub is a lot more advanced than Agosta 90B, in terms of hull design as least?
 
Any idea how much will these things cost because the latest subs are in the area of $500 mil so 6 should be $3 billion at least if we want full loaded state of the art AIP subs.
 
Good news for the PN, i think we should incorporate some nuke launching capability into our subs as well, SLBMs I think they are called....
 
@Aeronaut what is pumpjet ?

thanks , this pump-jet ... does this make sub quieter or more nosier ?
 
They should be highly advance submarines with capability to fire Babur cruise missiles

Wikipedia says that they can only carry 6 torpedoes and thats it? Thats insufficient...

It is 6 in the tubes, 12 in the rack.

If this is not enough, then go after the SSN.

24 torpedoes and 16 anti-ship missiles or 16 LACMs.

Interesting...

How does Yuan class submarines compare against German Dolphin class submarines, which Israel recently purchased?

Not purchasing, but I hope China helps Pakistan in designing its own nuclear-submarines and even ICBMs...

Since it is much bigger, so it could expect it has longer endurance.

Furthermore, it can even host the SLBM.

Indeed, Pakistan's nuclear sub is underway, and it could likely base on Type 093/094 with some implemented technologies from Type 095/096.

wikipedia shows very little about Yuan class submarine.

Any source about its capabilities and specifications?
