Saudi Arabia and Malaysia expressed interest in Pakistani-built French Agosta 90-B submarines
Saudi Arabia on other hand has almost finalized the deal . The main problem with the issue is that French and Pakistani engineers have changed Agosta into a platform that can launch nuclear strikes. This irked American Defense Department which was quick to use its ties with Pakistan on this issue. However Pakistan has assured United States that it will sell perfectly safe submarines to Saudi Arabia

Apparently we wanted to buy Pakistani submarines but Pakistan refused to sell due to American pressure really sad read for me.
