Are we ignoring the angle of Upgrading?? It looks like a refit..
The matter is we are ignoring the fact that while being a weak spot in the whole fence of our self defence PN can not afford to sit on it's hands and wait for the miracle boat to appear out of the blue during a conflict.
The projects like Nuclear submarines need years of research,facilities(trained work force,) and experimentation with some ample resources which the Navy most urgently requires.
The incidents like mehran airbase attack were no moral booster either.
Every month you'll see threads getting our attention, saying,"PN can have an A.C."
"J-11 is suitable for PN." and Pak Navy versus an XYZ Navy are just innocent yet lame attempts to build up the confidence with in our selves. But it's just an air filled bubble getting busted everytime.
Can i ask where is your HDW / DCNS and how much investment and time the naval dockyard needs to be a parallel force and help the navy?
Building Agosta 90B was a milestone which provided the skilled manpower, infrastructure and some experience to start a new venture.
You need pics,and that too of some nuclear submarine.Let me show you something.

France's first nuclear ballistic missile that's already a part of museum.The nuclear reactor was removed after some effort and it's now for display.Yes the very french men that can be of some help for PN (and they are infact) to build something in our own country.
There is an open world ,if you have interest.
Tour A Submarine
What the crux is ,you'll never see the nuclear sub out in the open unless PN desires you to see it and make it public.So wait please.They are not reinventing the wheel.It's just a matter of time to master the things ,since it'll a potent weapon with a life to serve for the navy.
Please stop being miserable and a laughing stock.These are the matters of national pride and interest.Stop the further degrading of your hand tied Naval force.Those men are already doing the most the can,to preserve our pride.
If you are of that much caliber.Then please do offer your services where you are needed the most.That's my humble request.
