Seem like [B]Avrora [/B]even can help VN to build Nuke-Sub if possible :D[/QUOTE]
Avrora is not a submarine builder, it only provides combat information and control systems.

Anyway nuclear sub is a nice thing, but costs three times more than a [B]Kilo [/B]diesel sub, so instead of $0.5bn, you need $1.5bn, such as for a [B]Akula-class[/B] submarine:

nuke-sub is a strong deterrence.as zAvrora said that they would help VN to build a strong naval fleet,then nuke-sub is the best toy for our navy now.

As u know,We bought those Kilos subs on Credit,so Pls dont think much abt its price coz if we cant buy it by hard cash even if its cheaper than Kilos.if Russia wanna sell nuke sub to VN,they will sell on credit,too

No doubt, nuclear sub is a mighty toy. However, diesel sub with air-independent propulsion (AIP) is a good choice, too, and cheaper, such as the Amur-class sub.
