There are rumors floating on the internet, mainly in Indian and Israeli forums, that U214 deal is dead; however, French are keen to sell 6 Marlin Subs to Pakistan.
Pakistan's other option is to develop Sub with Chinese or Turkey (we need a Turkey flag!)
.
The rumors are complete nonsense. PN personal have been in Germany since 05 training on the new vessel, the deal is being ironed out, especially with regards to tech transfer.
waz, please provide more details if possible. It's been quiet on the U-214 front for some time now. I am sure you are on the money, defence deals are always like this.
Hope aliveThe bottom line is the deal is pretty much on.
same **** since 05 new yaer new yaer we are 5 years late
Our Ten year old U-boot technology is still better than something you can develop and build from scratch in that time
(no offense)
We have been building those things for more than a 100 years
No Doubt German technology is good.Try to understand what the guy meant from the 10 year thing. He didn't meant the U-boat to be bad, he said that if we get the U-214 after then years, then it will be outdated as of that time, meaning there would be better versions then U-214 by the time we get the U-214.
There is no doubt about German technology.
SAD SAD SAD NEWS!!!!!!!
The Hindu : News / National : Germany keen on closer defence, civil nuclear ties
Mr. Matussek took up with the government the impasse in awarding the tender for refuellers for Airbus and has professed interest in promoting the German company HDW for the coming order for submarines. We hope we will be able to get the submarine deal. It will be easier since we shelved the deal with Pakistan, he said.
damn the people who let this deal get shelved! it is indeed a sad day!
This is old news, printed many times. Nothing yet confirmed.
If it has been shelved, then we would have heard it from multiple and reliable sources.
Most probably, the German ambassador trying to impress the Indians to get the deal.
But i believe the Indians have canceled the Airbus MRTT deal, the finance guys did not gave the go ahead, in spite of IAF interest in this platform.
So if Airbus deal doesn't goes ahead, the charm in selling submarines may not be there too.
Plus IN needs something next level compared to U-214, as they are already getting Scorpenes which are quiet comparable to U-214s.
