KSA, the UAE to get submarines

Like I said the PN will have a word on this bro :azn: you can hub in if you wish.



The thing is that we don't take the Germans seriously. Today they give you one word, tomorrow you will hear something else you know?

I guess the Italiano-Russo submarine project is promising, we might look into it deeply to see the pros and the cons. Otherwise, we are in talks with the French to procure 4-6 Frigates and 5-7 submarines.

What do you guys make of this Italian sub project?

For KSA, UAE, Oman, Jordan, Yemen, Algeria, Libya and Pakistan only and only JV is the answer

I think Russian-Italian JV is still on papers and will not be ready soon. Secondly, KSA n UAE will use sub-marines for first time so they can't risk their Navy on such subs which have no history of usage.

So KSA n UAE must go for those submarines, which are operational already and they have history and credibility.

No body will be on board, except you, the UAE, and us.

History

It was reported in 2005 that Fincantieri of Italy had entered into a partnership with Russia's Rubin Design Bureau to design a new diesel-electric submarine based on the Russian Amur class submarine and featuring AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) technology. In October 2006 at the Euronaval international arms show in France, Russia and Italy presented a mock-up model of a new-generation diesel submarine called S1000.

Test depth: >250 meters

Complement: 16

Sensors and processing systems:
- 5 Multifunction CMS Consoles Integrating sensors and navigation 1 Passive/Active Sonar Suite (Conformal Array, Intercept Array, Mine Avoidance, ONA); Integrated Navigation System

Electronic warfare & decoys: Torpedo Countermeasures System (Emulator/Decoy)

Armament: 6 Fwd Torpedo Tubes (Push-Out Type) with capability to manage a combination of up to 6 + 8:21 inches (533 mm) Wire Guided Torpedoes; Antiship / Strike Missiles

Let's go for the Scorpènes bro :bounce:

Just make sure it will be as twice powerful as the original one is.

Saudi Arabia, UAE Eye Fincantieri Submarine Acquisitions; Achille Fulfaro Comments
Feb 10th, 2014 · 0 Comment
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri plans to hold submarine acquisition talks with government customers in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Defense News reported Sunday.

Awad Mustafa writes Saudi Arabia also wants to purchase more than a dozen German-built Type 209 submarines worth $3.4 billion combined.

German newspaper Bild originally reported the details of that transaction.

Achille Fulfaro, Fincantieri Middle East naval executive and general manager of Etihad Ship Building, said the two countries will assess small- to medium-sized submarines, according to Defense News.

“With the experience of the Italian navy and with the existing cooperation with the UAE, we can create a program for the development of small submarines,” Fulfaro said.

Fulfaro also said the potential order could be for submarines weighing between 300 and 1,000 metric tons, according to the report.

Mustafa writes that Fincantieri plans to develop the fleet at the Abu Dhabi-based facilities of Etihad, a joint venture with Al Fattan Shipyard and Melara Middle East.

As a part of Fincantieri and Etihad Ship Building it will be our great pride and honour to be a part of such sophisticated programme.
 
Let's hope you guys can offer something similar to the Type-212. It will be a great opportunity to both of us.
As a part of Fincantieri and Etihad Ship Building it will be our great pride and honour to be a part of such sophisticated programme.

I'm just a little skeptical about the Russian contribution to this project.

No need to be enthusiastic. :disagree:

This proposal is ‘a pure scam’. Italians do not have a real expertise to build submarines.

The future submarines - with ToT - will be German (Huge doubts - relationship Germany Israel -), French or South Korea.

Which PN submarine program you are talking about??
 
There is NO nuclear submarine program. There is only the Chinese AIP SSK program.

:o::o::o::o: what ??? what happen to the news of Pakistan building a nuclear sub , there was on news all over ... that navy is building one and will be ready in 5-8 years ..................................:coffee:

Man, I can't tell you now much I wished to see the PN operating 3 T-214 subs.

They could have deferred the Quing class for later.

Nope.. just as there was news for more F-16s.. Gripen and all that..its been shoved into wishful thinking. Nuclear subs come via something called money.
