Always wanting to get a show for free… tsk
Today its “Show me prop and vanes” tomorrow it will be something else

A rare good article in Indian press about the Hangor programme and contrasting it with the Indian SSK modernization program which has delivered nothing in 30 years due to bureaucratic inertia.

As Pakistan Commissions Hangor Submarine, Indias Project 75-I Stalls at Contracting Stage - The Wire

Meanwhile, Project 75-Is prolonged gestation has widened the very gap it was meant to close.

Please find the propeller pic for our Kilo class submarines which is a backbone of Indian submarine fleet....

Why is a propellor needed? Didn't India sink its own submarine in its own harbor? Left the hatch open or something?

even crazier when you think about how much germans fucked us over

Even crazier to think we still trust and contract the westerners. They are the enemy!

Westerners are not a monolith

Eh dirty is an overexaggeration but yes we never committed to them when we should have.

Arihant isn't a tin can that sinks because someone forgot a door. It's a double hulled SSBN with an outer hull, a separate inner pressurised hull and ballast tanks between them. If it had actually sunk, it wouldn't have gone on to carry out deterrent patrols and multiple SLBM tests afterwards.

Pakistan lucked out

We were friends with China when China was still a large underdeveloped state with multiple problems and big hopes

We established a deep friendship and alliance with China during those times that developed into what it is now

China then had a meteoric rise into the world's manufacturing engine and superpower in waiting

That suddenly gives Pakistan a position where we can turn to our close friend for things and support that the west would never give us



Our relationship with Turkey is similar, long standing and historical
Whilst China is the iron brother, Turkey is the blood brother and Turkey too has ambitions alongside the Turkic world and is developing fast and that once again puts us in a strong position


Pakistan has many faults, but our ability to make these vital alliances is actually impressive


After Hangors we need nuclear subs and as long as we can find the money or external funding we have the allies to support these ambitions

Sure buddy - hiding your incompetency

When it comes to India they will never technically think anything and start running their own false narrative.... such an advance nuclear submarine Firstly won't even descend in the water if hatch remains opened.... forget about damage..... and nuclear submarine still performing patrols and SLBMs tests they will ignore these facts....

How much good italians will be when americans really twist their arms?

The sub did suffered severe damages. Point is how can such event happen at first place with a professional navy? This only shows the level of incompetence of IN sailors. The one which sunk without even being deployed, was actually docked (again lack of professionalism / training / lack of maintenance, I'd say) was INS Sindhurakshak, a kilo sub.

Now to double hull thing. The ballast tanks may help in avoiding flooding but overall it has its own advantages and dis-advantages. It's a design preference. The US most modern virginia class subs are single hull, the German, french, swedish subs are single hull.

such an advance nuclear submarine Firstly won't even descend in the water if hatch remains opened.... forget about damage.....

Why should forget about damage? and why on earth the hatch could remain open? And who says if its such an "advance sub"? Yes India is able to build a nuclear-powered sub that itself is a big achievement.

I Just did a search for top 10, nuclear "most advance" subs of the world:

Top 10 Most Advanced Nuclear Submarines:
Virginia-Class Block V / VI (United States)
Yasen-M Class (Russia)
Astute-Class (United Kingdom)
Columbia-Class (United States)
Borei-A Class (Russia)
Suffren-Class / Barracuda (France)
Seawolf-Class (United States)
Type 093B Shang-Class (China)
Ohio-Class SSGN Variant (United States)
Type 095 Class (China)

AI can be bias, but I'd definitely agree with it to not include india's subs anywhere in "advance" category. Its one of india's first attempts at building nuclear subs. You can't expect a newbie to do wonders right from start. But I totally accept that india building a nuclear sub is already a big achievement.
