From a geopolitical perspective, China will arm Pakistan with the fast-attack nuclear submarines.
Because India acquires its nuclear submarine technology primarily from Russia for the purpose of keep China in check.
Once the democrats are back in office in 2029, they will very likely mend its tie with India and resume its role as an anti-China watchdog.
It will be a nuisance for an anti-China country like India always attempt to backstab China with its nuclear submarine being supported by both US and Russia.
The best counterattack is to support Pakistan nuclear submarine program.
I initially assumed it gonna be the Type 041 because this mini nuclear sub was proposed in the 2010s when China had a huge disadvantage in its nuclear sub fleet compared to the USN, and Type 041 was conceived as a type of a symmetric warfare against the US sub fleet in number.
Now China decides to go full fleet of 10,000+ tons giant SSN like the Type 095 and Type 09X, even the Type 093B will be treated like the Type 054A.
China in the early 2020s did plan to build more than 30 hulls of the Type 093B to counter the the Virginia class.
Now the unwanted Type 093B could be served as export to its strategic allies.
You need to get out of this mindset that china will give you what you desire
China thankfully does not see India as a rival any.more
Only USA is it's genuine rival
Your on your own versis India
Saudi Turkey islamic NATO
Or china are not going to equip or arm you to fight India
Everything you get will.be business only transactions
It will NOT be free aid like USA gives Israel to fight Arabs or NATO gives Ukraine
China this ...china that .china will .
Nothing .
You will be sold subs or missles and planes as business not to keep india in check as china sees India as no threat anymore
And the kicker on my point your
ability to buy... acquire ..absorb chinease weapons is limited to your ability to finance or maintain loan payments
This is why you have only
20 J10 not 100 that you desire
Frigates only rather than the type 52d destroyers which china builds in dozens each year
No nuke subs despite your claim they build them like hot cakes
You get the export stuff on soft loans only
