Pakistan's acquisition of the U-214

[Quwa]

I'm going to break this slowly, but guys/gals/seagulls, Pakistan's not going to make a single step to disturb India's advantages under its current regime of politicians and military leaders. In general, our leaders are not in the business of upholding vital national interests and in trying to exact real concessions from India, US, etc. Sure, past leaders (e.g. Ayub Khan, ZAB, Zia ul-Haq) weren't exactly pioneers of freedom and independence, but they were a lot harder to deal with (for US/India) than the current crop of jokers running this country.

Yes, the poor economic state of the country is partly to blame for dropping the Type 214 (and God knows what else), but how did this economy get to its current state? Well, Pakistan fought an unprecedentedly long war within its borders *without* resolving the situation. Sure, it's a good idea to demand that others respect the writ of the state, but in the absence of addressing America's presence in Afghanistan (and their insistence of letting India in) as well as their use of drones, we're not going to see this pricy internal war (running us $100bn in direct costs and lost opportunities) solved.

We need leaders who will stand for an independent Pakistan... A Pakistan that stands for its vital interests, the safety and security of its people, and the voice of Pakistan and Pakistanis in not only South Asia, but the whole world. This requires a political and military establishment that actually cares about witnessing progress.

If and when that happens, I promise, you will see your dreams fulfilled.

Foreign media exposed China's latest conventional submarines from Germany 212 submarine design
According to Canada, "Chinese Defense Review" website reported on March 24 in Wuhan shipyard there is a new ship diesel-powered submarines, the shape of the front of the biggest change is that the contact angle of sail and hull becomes streamlined. Such changes similar to Germany's 212 series designed primarily to further reduce sail water, underwater resistance, reduce water noise.

Article that appeared aboard the new submarine is most likely on the basis of the 039B, made more improvements, modern European diesel-electric submarine design, not just change the sail shape by reducing water resistance, the hull itself from the traditional The water drop change into a cigar -type, the Chinese navy publications over the past 10 years, quite carefully analyzed the structure and design advantages of the cigar-shaped hull, so the new 039 is also improved using the cigar-shaped hull future needs sustained attention.

In addition, Germany , Japan and diesel-electric submarines dive rudder also changed from the traditional cross of X-type, in order to enhance the effectiveness of the rudder. Are 039C also uses X-type submarine rudder? Deserves further attention.

The biggest improvement will be concentrated in the fire control and weapons systems. Now, China has been learned on the basis of Club-S submarine-to-ship missile series on cloning his "submarine-launched, multi-purpose super-combined subsonic missile." This missile is likely to apply to 039C. And can be deployed to the already mass-039B. As AIP Stirling engine has been equipped to the number of vessels 039B, 039C and therefore will also continue to use the Stirling engine .

039C appear, it means 039B production end? Needs further observation, since 2012, did not find Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard Wuhan continue production of signs 039B
