Pak Navy to acquire seven submarines to meet challenges posed by India | | The Pakistan Navy is likely to acquire even 'conventional' submarines and is in discussions with China and France for finalising the deal. According to sources, negotiations are also
on with Germany to purchase three U-214 type submarines. Sources within the Pakistan
Navy said that a high level naval delegation would be visiting France next week
to finalise the deal with French DCN Company for Marline submarines. Islamabad
is deeply interested in acquiring four Chinese Yuan and Song Class and three French
Marlin class latest diesel electric conventional submarines in a bid to meet the
challenge from the rapidly expanding Indian navy, The Dawn quoted sources, as
saying. It is pertinent to mention here that a German company-HDW had drawn up
technical specifications for three U-214 submarines, and a billion dollar contract
was almost finalised, but the deal could not materialise due to some unknown reasons. |
