China and Pakistan - A Russian View

If you read Russian, this is an interesting read. Like all discussions of Chinese naval exports to Pakistan, we will have to wait and see.

The key point - China is supposedly building 6 AIP submarines for Pakistan. The first four will be built in China and the last two will be built in a shipyard in Karachi, Pakistan - in a shipyard which will be refitted by China. There is speculation that the first of these submarines has already been launched, and the second is under construction.

So far the sourcing for the Pakistan-China submarine deals are well outside mainstream coverage, indeed almost entirely Indian, Russian, and Pakistan information sources. Time will tell.
