Pakistani naval equipment, "Agosta"-90B submarines
Pakistan wants to buy "dollars" AIP-class submarines, the naval balance the expanding power of neighboring countries

The military developments in neighboring countries has always been concerned about the recent increase in India seems to be "provoking the nerve." "India Times" reported on April 11, when the Indian Navy called "Project 75" submarine development hesitant when Pakistan has "quietly" signed an agreement with China, from China to buy six equipment "air independent propulsion" (AIP) and advanced conventional submarines.
Pakistan submarine project so smooth
Technically, the general diesel-electric submarines must surface every few days or extended snorkel ventilation in order to charge the battery. The submerged submarines equipped with AIP systems longer, help to improve performance and combat effectiveness of the submarine's stealth. "India Times" reported on the current development situation in perspective, the Indian Navy have to wait several years to AIP submarine equipment; and Pakistan Navy have been equipped with three French-made "Agosta"-90B class submarines, one of the "Hamza" submarine is equipped with AIP systems, are in turn adopted from China to buy 6 "Stirling cycle" model of the "meta" level AIP submarines, the submarine combat capability is further enhanced.
Smooth sailing with the Pakistan Navy's submarine development projects in sharp contrast, India has refused to consider at its shipyard production of 6 Mazha Gang "Scorpene" class submarines to install AIP cabin. An Indian Defense Ministry official said funding is a major obstacle. "Input costs have been rising, to the first five and six 'Scorpene' submarines AIP cabin on the installation, but also to spend about 1 billion." He also pointed out that "even if a foreign company to India provides AIP system, but it can attack targets on land availability of cruise missiles still did not, so '75 No. Project 'is still very complex and may need 2 years to be finalized, as the first boat in service or even have to wait 6-7 years. "Clearly, the Indian Navy has begun to worry about AIP submarines in the area behind the opponent.
There is real demand for the purchase of submarines
Due to historical and practical reasons, the hostility between India and Pakistan has been unable to complete digestion, and in the field of national defense, very strong front relative to the mean. If in the Army and Air Force field, the two regarded each has its advantages, then the field in the Navy, Pakistan still lags behind a lot.
Benefit from the expansion of military spending in recent years, the Indian navy is building three aircraft carrier battle group. The other hand, Pakistan Navy, though in recent years have begun to second-hand from the United States, "Perry" class frigates built by the joint model, the design of new China in succession to receive F-22P "sword"-class frigates, but on the whole is still a branch-based operations to coastal defense force, the face of strong pressure from the Indian Navy, checks and balances means are limited.
Reluctant to opponent, good at the Pakistani Army's big eyes focused on the submarine warfare force. Currently, the Pakistani submarine force for the three main legal "Agosta"-90B submarines. Although the performance of the boat is more advanced, capable of launching submarine of the "flying fish" anti-ship missiles and equipped with AIP systems to extend the time submerged, but suffer from a limited number of difficult to control large areas of sea in wartime. Especially in the Indian Navy will equip American P-8I "Poseidon," anti-submarine aircraft, and plan for the bulk purchase of properties in France, but more advanced "Scorpene" class submarines in the case, the Pakistani military weakness relative to India, more equipment obvious.
In response to continued strong neighbors "hidden war - anti-submarine warfare" force, the Pakistani military does have expanded the practical needs of the submarine force. If the Indian media reports are true, the ultimate success of the Pakistani Army in China to introduce six submarines, then the Pakistani Army will have enough water coming countervailing force, so that potential adversaries can not act rashly, but also help prevent the light from the war in the region end.
