Pakistan begins submarine procurement talks with China
11 June 2010

China's vice-president, Zheng Dejiang, met with civil and military leaders in Pakistan on 9-10 June in a visit surrounded by reports of a major new defence deal under discussion that would see Pakistan buying at least three Chinese submarines.

Speaking to Jane's on 9 June, a senior Pakistani government official said the Pakistan Navy began discussions with "the Chinese authorities last month for an eventual submarine deal" for up to three or four boats, but declined to specify the types or terms under discussion.

China has a long history of helping Pakistan overcome shortages of key military hardware, notably the hardware it was denied by the Western world following sanctions imposed from 1990 in response to Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme.

The Pakistani government official who spoke to Jane's on 9 June said that it was vital for the navy to acquire more submarines to offset "the pressure we will definitely come under" due to the rapid expansion of India's naval capability. "Our Chinese brothers have always come to our help and we are asking them for assistance once again," he said.

Although neither China nor Pakistan have ever publicly revealed the terms of their past financial arrangements, defence analysts say that China continues to offer long-term loans to Pakistan on concessional terms, allowing the country to continue with its military hardware purchases.

I fully agree.
The sad part is that PN has always been on least priority when it comes to defense related procurements.

NO! N-O!!! no submarine out there is as good as the type U-214!

 

[farhan_9909]

i dnt knw why people think U-214 is the best

Scorpene is almost comparable to U-214 and Marlin class will be superior to scorpene

so it will be comparable to u-214 if nt better

how can u say that we never used u boats . Is that true that type-214 is a xport version type212 ?

They are really good subs. I would say the Dolphin class is probably better then the 214. The 212 is the German Navy one also Italy operates them. They are not for export (Italy got them because they worked on the project)

Turkey will be getting 6 214TNs many of the systems will be Turkish designed including the weapons systems. 2015 will be their service date.

Maybe Turkey,German,Pakistan can work out a deal for these 214 subs that Turkey will be operating.

Look man if you dont know anything about the U boats, why bother commenting. I'll suggest you learn a few things about U boat and then start asking this question.


And by the way Pakiz is a racist word used to convey insult. Be careful about that
