1st HANGOR Class Submarine of Pakistan Navy has been launched at Shuangliu

China has 093b attack nuclear submarines equipped with 16 vertical launch units, achieving division of labor between torpedo and missile systems. These vertical launch devices can not only launch submarine launched anti-ship missiles such as Yj-84, but also more advanced Yj-18A submarine launched missiles with a range of over 650 kilometers, making it the deepest underwater cruise missile currently in service by the People's Liberation Army; In addition, the yj-18A also has a 360 degree omnidirectional attack capability, which can launch and ignite underwater, achieving ultra-low altitude sea crossing penetration, making the enemy unavoidable.The yj18a is currently the most advanced submarine launched cruise missile that we have publicly exposed, and its ship version is also equipped on the 055/052d destroyer.View attachment 36761View attachment 36762
Secondly in case of USA and Russia every VLS has around 6 sub VLS with that I mean if they have 20 VLS each is carrying 4 to 6 cruise missiles which takes the number of cruise close and above 100.

Each Ohio class SSGN is capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles.

When we ordered Hangoor these were not even close to being ready. In fact they were made recently
I think this is related to Pakistan's naval strategic needs. When Pakistan ordered the 054a, the Chinese 055 destroyer began testing. The 052d destroyer has been heavily equipped,Nuclear submarines are strategic weapons, and China is not extravagant enough to export them. However, related cruise missiles require supporting platforms. The common platform for Chinese navy cruise missiles is destroyers rather than frigates, while Pakistan's main demand is for frigates, which results in different launch systems. Submarine launched cruise missiles are mainly used in nuclear submarines, and there are no related platforms available for export.

China also has the Long Sword 10 pairs of land attack cruise missiles, which are mounted on fighter jets and ships. The size and weight of the Long Sword 10 missile exceed that of the US Tomahawk missile, with a length of about 8.3 meters, a weight of 2 tons, a diameter of 650 millimeters, a cruising altitude of 30-50 meters, a small turbofan engine, a cruising speed of 0.65 Mach, a warhead weight of 500 kilograms, and an effective range of 2500 kilometers. The guidance method is cruise phase inertia+terrain matching+satellite assisted navigation, and the final guidance is optical scene matching guidance. The terminal accuracy CEP for striking targets 2000 kilometers away is less than 3 meters. However, the interception of subsonic cruise missiles is becoming increasingly mature in the world, and China's development focus is not on traditional subsonic cruise missiles. The latest land to land attack cruise missile in China is the Long Sword 100, which is a supersonic cruise missile。I would like to clarify that in the field of missile technology, China is very comprehensive,The highlight of China's cruise missiles is not their land attack, but their anti-ship capabilities. The supersonic weapons with improved accuracy are the killer weapon against land attacks, as demonstrated by Iran's counterattack against Israel. They didn't even use the latest generation of hypersonic ballistic missiles, and their cruise missiles and drones were only for cover purposes and were also shot down in large numbersScreenshot_20240428_161654_Baidu.jpg

US N-subs use the most sophisticated nuclear reactors. The newest Virginia class SSNs for instance have reactors that use bomb-grade uranium (U-235 enriched to over 90 %). They are designed to operate for 33 years without refuelling.
 
There is not much public information about the Long Sword 100, and it is difficult for me to compare it with your weapons. It is a supersonic long-range land-based attack cruise missile, an upgraded version of the Long Sword 10. However, its promotional status in the Chinese military is not high. It is generally believed that it is used to assist the medium range hypersonic ballistic missile DF17. Regarding the coordination of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in land-based attacks, Iran's attack on Israel is a good example. China has upgraded the Long Sword 100 to a supersonic cruise missile

China is more than willing to export them. There are several issues for example one issue was German engines in Hangoor class which Germany refused to give. Now we got them with Chinese ones. Thailand for this very reason cancelled it's orders. China is even finding it difficult to export Type 39 submarines, Type 52 D Destroyers and Type 54 A frigates. Just because China hasn't exported some weapons people assume it's because they have some laws. Dude if you have money China will sell you ballistic missiles of 3000 KM range like they did in case of Saudi Arabia

Not only conventional submarine engines, but to be honest, Chinese military engines, including aviation engines and marine engines, have been fully replaced with domestically produced engines in various fields. These engines were not newly developed, but were developed early on and underwent extensive testing before being truly accepted. In the past, due to our inability to provide reliable engines, using foreign engines could easily cause blockages and delays. This problem has been solved. In the field of marine engines in China, the 054b has adopted its own developed next-generation diesel engine. According to the official introduction, the CS16V27 medium and high-speed diesel engine has a propulsion power of 7280kW and a rated power generation of 6400kW. Fuel consumption level ≤ 197g/kWh (propulsion)/195g/kWh (power generation). The 16PA6V-280STC diesel engine of the Type 054A frigate has a single rated power of 5184 kilowatts. In terms of individual power, the CS16V27 four stroke medium to high speed diesel engine is about 40% higher than the 16PA6V-280STC diesel engine. Using four CS16V27 four stroke medium to high speed diesel engines as the power system, it can ensure the maximum speed of the 054B frigate, basically reaching or exceeding 30 knots. Pakistan has obtained this batch of conventional submarine engines, which should be the latest submarine diesel engines from China. After long-term testing, they have been accepted

Chinese aviation engine are now proving themselves for sometime. That wasn't the case with submarine ones

Our country's 039 basic model, 039G model, and 039A model all use the MTU 16V396 SE84 turbocharged diesel engine authorized by Germany. China proposes to use domestically produced CHD620 diesel engines in Thailand. The diesel engines used in the 039B and 039C models have already adopted domestic models, but the specific models and performance are unknown. As of now, the power compartments of the main elite submarines in the navies of various countries cannot be disclosed to the public because there is too much key information that can be exposed.
 
So, what you want is a 20,000-ton SSBN?
I have to say, this is an amazing ambition
The Ohio class of nuclear-powered submarines includes the United States Navy's 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and its four cruise missile submarines (SSGNs). Each displacing 18,750 tons submerged, the Ohio-class boats are the largest submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy.
 
So can we hit areas inside Afghanistan using Babur lets say from Gwadar from these subs?
