Pakistan To Buy Eight Chinese Attack Submarines<\/h4>\n

Pakistan To Buy Eight Chinese Attack Submarines:\u00a0Pakistan will acquire at least eight modified diesel-electric attack submarines from China by 2028 in a nearly USD 5 billion agreement, said to be the biggest arms export deal for the Communist giant.<\/p>\n

The head of Pakistan’s next-generation submarine programme and senior naval officials briefed the members of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defence on 26 August regarding the deal worth approximately USD 4 to 5 billion, according to state-run media.<\/p>\n

The statement made by naval officials to the committee members showed that the programme of next generation submarines was moving ahead, Radio Pakistan reported.<\/p>\n

In April, a senior Pakistan Navy official had announced that Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW)<\/strong> had secured a contract to produce four of the eight submarines, which will be fitted with air-independent propulsion (AIP)<\/strong> systems.<\/p>\n

Often described as Pakistan’s “all weather friend”, China is expected to extend a long term loan to Pakistan at a low interest rate to cover the cost of the project, the report said.<\/p>\n

It has not officially been confirmed what type of submarines will be supplied to the Pakistan Navy by the China Shipbuilding Trading Company (CSTC)<\/strong> and there has been considerable speculation on the subject in the past.<\/p>\n

Analysts speculate that the new submarines will be lighter export versions of the People Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN) Type 039 and Type 041 Yuan-class conventional attack submarines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first four submarines are expected to be delivered by the end of 2023<\/strong> while the remaining four will be assembled in Karachi by 2028. These are expected to form the sea-based arm of Pakistan’s burgeoning nuclear second-strike triad.<\/p>\n

China is Pakistan’s biggest supplier of military hardware which included battle tanks, naval ships as well as fighter jets. The two jointly manufacture J-17 Thunder warplane. Pakistan’s submarine fleet comprises five Agostas \u2014 two Agosta70 and three Agosta90B \u2014 and three MG110 miniature submarines (SSI).<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Agosta90B \u2014 Hamza (Khalid Class)<\/strong> \u2014 was indigenously constructed and commissioned in 2008 and another was partially completed here. The third was built in France.<\/p>\n
