Part may also be negotiation tactics: looming chinese and french sub deal(s) would put pressure on the Germans and vv.

And if we look at the number of submarines being bought, it means PN is compromising on the quality like the U-214s, and going for a larger number of subs to counter growing Indian fleet.
sir u have to have quality as well...only quantity doesnt matter ...wat will u do with quantity if they are not capable...it is as same as if my opponent buys 20 Heavy bikes and to compete with him i will buy 15 Pakhero Honda 70cc rather than buying 10 the of same class....i dun thnk this is the case and if it is thn just can laugh and curse
This reminds me of Jliu who3-4 yrs ago predicted that this might happen.I think personally that to go for a paper sub is sheer lunacy although, again what are we getting in the package, and how ha it been sweetened technologically is something to be seen.

I think Pakistan won't buy U214, because Pakistan already have France submarines, and in future china will help Pakistan to produce chinese submarine by themself(as F-22P mode), so if Pakistan use three country's submarine will lead many problems, because Pakistan need build three different maintenance system for them, this is a very big burden.
by the way, there's an important problem, if happen war between Pakistan and India, Europe and USA will cut all support for Pakistan, at that time, Pakistan's submarine which bought from Europe maybe will lose fighting capacity.
so Pakistan must produce submarine by self in future, and china will help Pakistan(as china help Pakistan to build ship and tank), beacuse Pakistan is chinese friend. if happen war, china will support Pakistan
