Pakistan Navy Plans To Buy 6 More Subs?

Based on various media report last week, Pakistan Navy is understood to have presented to the Defence Ministry that it needs a further 6 submarines to complement its existing fleet of 5 submarines (SSK).

It is believed that the Chinese made submarines are at the top of the list based on the discussion between the two countries' Prime Ministers in 2009 and 2010.

The cooperation with China is not new to Pakistan as it had embarked on joint production of fighter jets as well as as military procurements.

If that is the case, could the new YUAN Class be the interest of Pakistan Navy?



Only time will tell.
