The Reis-class submarines feature a single-hull, one-compartment design and an air-independent propulsion system on the proven Howaldswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) fuel cell. The submarines have a length of 68.35 meters, an outer diameter of 6.3 meters, a displacement of 1,850 tons, and a capacity of 40 personnel. ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems have been building the Reis-class submarines (known initially as Type 214 TN) in Turkey’s Golcuk Naval Shipyard. The AIP system uses fuel cell technology, PEM Fuel Cell (2x120kw), and high-capacity batteries (2×324 units). This provides the submarine with the ability to conduct long-endurance deployments without snorkeling. The boats will deploy heavyweight torpedoes (MK48 Mod 6AT, DM2A4), anti-ship missiles (Sub-Harpoon), and mines. Indigenous heavyweight torpedo Akya and anti-ship missile Atmaca are expected to be fitted to the submarines during the project. The Reis-class submarine will be able to undertake missions such as littoral water operations to ocean-going patrols, including anti-surface and anti-submarine operations, ISR tasks, and special forces operations. This is mainly thanks to their increased diving depths and their modular weapon and sensor mix.

Turkey Launches Third Reis-Class Submarine at Gölcük Shipyard

The Muratreis, the third vessel in the Turkish Navy's Reis-class submarine fleet, has been successfully floated at the Gölcük Shipyard Command. This milestone is part of the New Type Submarine Project (YTDP), a collaborative initiative between the Turkish Defense Industry Agency (SSB) and ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). Valued at €2.06 billion, the YTDP involves the construction of six cutting-edge submarines. The first in the series, TCG Piri Reis, was laid down in 2015 and launched in December 2019. Piri Reis began sea trials in December 2022 and is expected to enter service in 2023, with each subsequent submarine slated for commissioning annually until 2027. Reis-class submarines are based on the German Type 214 model and boast a length of 68.35 meters, a beam of 6.3 meters, and a submerged displacement of approximately 2,050 tons. The production of the Reis-class, formerly Cerbe-class, submarines takes place in two large hangars, Block A and B, of the Submarine Production Plant ("Denizaltı İmalat Fabrikası") at Gölcük Naval Shipyard. Block B is for welding works of submarine hull sheets and putting them together, while Block B is used for assembly and outfitting works and can accommodate three boat at one time. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak

Submarine in Pakistan Navy

The programme of (submarine technology transfer) Agosta class submarine, envisages a very high degree of transfer-of-technology, which is bound to benefit the local industry in improving our indigenous capability of building air-independent propulsion, which is a viable substitute of nuclear propulsion....—Rear Admiral Gulzaman Malik, Commander of Submarine Service Force, 1999, [29]The Submarines Service Force (SSF) is the major command and aggressive command of Pakistan Navy, with primary mission including the commencing of peaceful engagement, surveillance and intelligence management, special operations, precision strikes, battle group operations, and the control of Pakistan's border seas. The Submarine command also takes responsibility to protect country's sea lanes of communication as well as to protect the economical interests, foreign trade and development of the country.[64][65]

In mid-2006, the Navy announced its requirement of three new fast-attack submarines to replace the two Agosta-70 submarines and rebuild its submarine fleet— after retiring the four Daphne Class.[64] Immediately, the French defence consortium, the DCN, offered its latest export design— the Marlin class submarine— which is based on the Scorpène class submarine, but also uses technology from the Barracuda nuclear attack submarine.[64] However, the Navy chose the Type 214 submarine, during the "IDEAS 2008 exhibition", the HDW director Walter Freitag told the media that: "The commercial contract has been finalized up to 95%. The first submarine would be delivered to the Pakistan Navy in 64 months after signing of the contract while the rest would be completed successively in 12 months".[66] However in 2009, it was reported that the Navy had cancelled its plans with HDW, the German government adjourn the deal further deliberation leading the Navy to cancel the contract with HDW while the German government seemed not-interested to transfer the submarine technology to Pakistan. However, the German government insisted that "a final decision should be made soon".[64] In 2012, an undisclosed navy officials confirmed to media and news channels that the plan of acquiring German submarines has been scrapped, dismissed as the Navy is no longer interested in the German submarines. Instead, the Navy has stepped into build the nation's first indigenously built nuclear submarine, which will be built by the Navy's PNEC nuclear engineers, assisted by the civilian PAEC's nuclear engineers and scientists.[64]

The X-Craft submarines are charged with carrying out the mine laying, torpedo attacks, frogman operations and commando landing, roughly for special forces operations. Three submarines of this class are operated by the Navy.[citation needed] In 1985, the Italian Navy signed an understanding memorandum with the Navy and assisted the Navy to locally built these midget submarines.[67] The Italian defence contractor, the COSMOS, supervised the first construction of the submarine while other two were built by Pakistan.[67]

All of the Navy's submarines have been equipped with Anti-ship missile (AShM) which can be fired while submerged. The three submarines, the Khalid class, are equipped and capable of firing Exocet missiles, while the older Agosta 70A submarines have been equipped with United States Harpoon missiles. The PNS Hamza submarine has an AIP reactor, containing the MESMA Air Independent Propulsion system, while the PNS Khalid and PNS Saad were upgraded with the same MESMA AIP reactor system. The Navy also plans to integrate the Boeing Harpoon Block-II missile on to its Agosta-90B submarines; and the Agosta-90Bs are capable of firing Black Shark torpedo, an Italian made naval variant.

Since 2001, the Navy has been seeking to enhance its strategic strike and precision capability by developing naval variants of the Babur land attack cruise missile (LACM).[64] The Babur LACM has a range of 700 km and is capable of using both conventional and nuclear warheads.[64] Future developments of LACM include capability of being launched from submarines, surface combatants and aircraft.[64]

Since 1964, the submarines have been active with Pakistan Navy, and five active-duty diesel electric submarines and three midget submarines, MG110, are in SSGN command.[68]

All nine of South Korea's Son Won-il-class diesel-electric submarines — a Korean-built version of Germany's Type 214 sub — are suffering from defective engines, according to Shin Won-sik, a legislator in South Korea's National Assembly and a member of the conservative People Power Party.

According to a report submitted to the assembly by Shin, defects were found in the inverter module cables on seven of the Son Won-il class subs. The other two had "functional" defects in the inverter modules themselves, according to Naval News.

The modules, made by German firm Siemens, are "a critical component" of a sub's propulsion system, with 12 installed on each submarine, Naval News said.

Analysis: A turbulent 2020 spurs Greece to rearm

Analysis: A turbulent 2020 spurs Greece to rearm

Athens, Greece – France is completing the sale of 18 Rafale jets to Greece ahead of January, when French defence minister Florence Parly is to visit Athens to sign it.

The sale will make Greece the first European client for the advanced plane, in a deal valued at 2.5bn euros ($3bn).

It is Greece’s first significant defence equipment purchase since 2005, when it bought more than 300 Leopard tanks from Germany, and its first investment in a new combat aircraft since buying French Mirage 2000s in 1989.

Greece’s overall defence spending halved from 7.88bn euros in 2009 to 3.75bn euros in 2018, as an eight-year recession led to budget cuts. Greece is sharply increasing its defence spending by 43 percent this year, to 5.5bn euros ($6.7bn).

The reason is that Greece and Turkey have had their most acrimonious year since 1974, when Turkey invaded Cyprus in response to a Greek coup attempt, and a war in the Aegean was narrowly averted.

“I think we are at one minute to midnight as far as a conflict with Turkey is concerned,” Kostas Grivas, who teaches geopolitics and weapons systems at the Hellenic Army Academy, told Al Jazeera.

Greece is in such a hurry to acquire the Rafale, it pressed France to deliver the first squadron by May, six months ahead of the original schedule. Its pilots will fly to France for training in the coming weeks.

Last September, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece will buy four new frigates and upgrade four existing ones, giving it a blue water navy capable of projecting power beyond the Aegean.

He also announced 15,000 new career positions in the armed forces. Greece is currently in the process of upgrading 85 of its Lockheed Martin F-16s to Viper level, turning them into fourth-generation fighter aircraft.

Tactically, the Rafale allows Greece to strike anywhere within Turkey, having a range of up to 3,700km, twice that of the Mirage and four times that of the F-16. It carries the most advanced European missiles, the Meteor, Mica, Scalp and Exocet.

It also carries a 200km-radius radar capable of tracking 40 targets and engaging eight of them, enabling it to act as a force co-ordinator. Greece believes it can thus increase its deterrent capability against a Turkish first strike.

“Greece has no claims on anybody, but is 100 percent ready to defend its rights,” said Dimitris Kairidis, who teaches international relations at Panteion University in Athens.

East Med crisis

Greece’s complaint against Turkey is that it is prospecting for undersea oil and gas in what Greece considers its Exclusive Economic Zone, a commercial sovereignty conferred by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

“We want a constructive dialogue on delimitation of maritime boundaries,” said Kairidis, but Turkey has so far been unwilling to oblige.

The Rafale deal is as much about politics as tactics. Greece and France are currently in talks for a defensive alliance that might include Greece’s buying French-made Belh@rra frigates.

“There will probably be a defence agreement in the coming weeks,” said Angelos Syrigos, who teaches international law at Panteion University.

In fact, Greece already signed one such defence agreement with the United Arab Emirates on November 18.

“ says that Greece and the UAE will rush to each other’s aid defensively should they receive an attack, and the terms remain to be filled in,” said Syrigos.

“Greece hasn’t signed a similar agreement with a country that isn’t in NATO or the European Union.”

The agreement was conceived during a standoff between the Greek and Turkish navies that began on July 21, when Turkey announced its exploration plans, and ended on November 30, when it sent its seismic survey ship Oruc Reis back to port, having collected 11,000km of seismic data.

During this period, Syrigos said, “the only country which sent aircraft to Greece was the Emirates. This was something that was really appreciated by the Greek government and the next step was the signing of this strategic relationship.”

Greece is also developing closer defence ties with Egypt and Israel.

Calls to sanction Turkey ignored

Athens is ferreting out such bilateral ties because it has been disappointed in the organisations it has traditionally relied upon for its security. NATO has not called Turkey to order for upsetting another member of the alliance. Nor has the EU, for threatening its sovereign rights.

On October 1, EU leaders overcame Cyprus’s objections to imposing sanctions on Belarus, for violently repressing protests, but not against Turkey, for what Greece and others say was Ankara’s violation of Cyprus’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

On October 12, Greece demanded sanctions on Turkey for occupying the ghost town of Varosha in Cyprus, against UN Security Council resolutions. The matter was deferred to the December summit, but then deferred again to the March summit.

“The Council decisions were no surprise given the divergent views among EU member states and the consensus-based decision-making system in foreign and security policy issues,” said Ioannis Grigoriadis, who teaches European studies at Bilkent University in Ankara.

He believes that divergence owes to “different interests on key issues in the Mediterranean”.

Failing its demand for sanctions, Greece wrote to Germany, Spain and Italy, asking them to halt arms sales to Turkey, as France halted the sale of two Mistral ships to Russia following its occupation of the Crimea in 2014. Greece’s EU partners did not oblige.

Greece is particularly incensed that Germany will build six type-214 submarines for the Turkish navy. Greece was the first international customer for the cutting-edge submarine in 2009, and helped solve many of its design flaws.

“It teaches us that Europe doesn’t have a Turkey strategy, and in fact, doesn’t know what to do,” said Syrigos.

France is the only major EU military power to have emerged as a strong supporter of Greece and Cyprus.

“France sees that if Turkey wins influence over Greece and Cyprus, then Turkey will become the major power in the East Mediterranean, pushing Egypt and Israel to the sidelines and forcing them into an alliance,” said Grivas. “If it succeeds, the East Mediterranean will become a Turkish lake.”

Three days after the EU refused to sanction Turkey, the United States did.

With veto-proof majorities, Congress banned US technology exports and loans to the Presidency of Turkish Defence Industries, the arm of the defence ministry which oversees procurement contracts and sets policy on defence infrastructure.

The sanctions were not about Greece and Cyprus, but Turkey’s procurement of Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles; but many supporters of the sanctions view them as a broader message to Turkey.

“We have witnessed violations of Greek airspace, illegal exploration efforts in Greek and Cypriot waters, an offensive violation of UN Security Council resolutions in Famagusta (Varosha). Without a resolute response this unchecked aggression will only continue,” said Senator Bob Menendez, one of the key sponsors of the sanctions, which have the potential to grow.

“America has presented Turkey with a choice – either to choose the West, to choose NATO, to choose America, or to continue on its rapprochement with Russia, to drift away from the West, and continue on its Eurasian way,” said Kairidis.

He also thinks the US has issued “a signal to the Europeans … to Berlin, basically, to proceed further on the path of containing and reversing Turkey’s current path.”

Turkey has said it will not reverse the purchase of the S-400 missiles.

What to expect in 2021

So what will happen in 2021, with Greece rearming, Turkey straddling alliances with east and west, the US taking a firmer hand and the EU meandering?

Grivas believes Greece will redraw the geopolitical map of the East Mediterranean through a chain of essentially anti-Turkey alliances.

“Israel’s new relationship with Arab nations… permits the creation of a bridge of countries starting in France, passing through Greece and Cyprus, going to Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and reaching India,” he said, calling it “a barrier against the dangerous network Turkey is trying to create with Pakistan and Turkic nations.”

“I wish I were optimistic,” said Kairidis, looking to the year ahead. “Turkey was engaged in three wars in 2020, in Libya, Syria and the Caucasus. It is militarily present in nine countries. It is increasing its military budget.”

Syrigos sees Greece’s best hope in its new bilateral alliances.

As for Turkey, he said: “ Biden will see Turkey via the lens of its relations with Russia. If Erdogan decides to have strong relations with Russia and continues to buy weapons, uses the S400, then the US will impose severe sanctions on Turkey.”

The stage is set for further confrontation.

ROK Navy Finds Major Defects on Three of its Type 214 Submarines - Naval News

[militerium]

Kapal Selam Jerman Untuk Israel

Jerman memiliki pabrik kapal selam yang cukup terkenal, Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft atau HDW. Produk yang cukup dikenal di Indonesia adalah kapal selam Type 209/1300 kelas Cakra, dan versi HDW Type 209/1400 upgrade Daewoo Shipyard & Marine Engineering (DMSE) atau kelas Chang Bogo. Sejak Januari 2005 HDW yang berdiri di Kiel sejak Oktober 1838 menjadi bagian dari grup ThyssenKrupp, menjadi Grup ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). Grup ini juga memiliki saham di industry kapal selam Swedia Kockums dari Malmö, dan Hellenic Shipyards Co., Skaramangas, Yunani.

source: almayadeen.net Adapun asset divisi kapal sipil HDW Gaarden pada bulan Juli 2011 dijual kepada Abu Dhabi MAR. Berbagai kapal selam diproduksi oleh grup TKMS, terutama yang berasal dari HDW seperti Kelas 212, Kelas 214 dan Kelas Dolphin dengan system AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion) yang ditenagai oleh HDW Fuel Cell Plant yang mampu memperpanjang lamanya kapal melakukan penyelaman (untuk jenis non-tenaga nuklir). Produk lain yang sudah digunakan oleh angkatan laut di berbagai Negara adalah HDW Kelas 209/1400mod.

Kepercayaan Pembeli

Kunci utama bagi industri strategis semacam TKMS ini adalah kepercayaan dari pihak pemakai produk atau pembeli. Baru-baru ini TKMS mendapat kepercayaan untuk pengadaan tiga unit kapal selam dari kelas DAKAR untuk keperluan pihak Angkatan Laut Israel. Kontrak senilai US$ 4,4 milyar tersebut berlaku untuk masa pembuatan dan pengiriman ketiga kapal selam tersebut secara bertahap selama sembilan tahun. Penandatanganan kontrak dilakukan oleh pihak CEO TKMS dengan Menteri Pertahanan Israel Benny Gantz pada Januari 2022. Pengadaan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan Angkatan Laut Israel, dengan menciptakan superioritas keamanan diwilayah mereka. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpepAjHVxr4 Kapal selam kelas Dakar merupakan varian baru yang khusus dirancang dan dibuat untuk kepentingan Angkatan Laut Israel. Rencananya kapal tersebut akan menggantikan tiga unit kapal selam kelas Dolphin dari batch pertama. Kapal selam kelas Dakar merupakan kelas diesel-electric attack submarines. Penamaan DAKAR adalah untuk penghormatan bagi INS Dakar, kapal selam Israel (Kapal selam kelas T versi Angkatan Laut Kerajaan Inggris) yang hilang tenggelam secara misterius pada tahun 1968. Dakar yang baru merupakan versi attack submarine dengan propulsi diesel-electric , Air-independent propulsion (AIP). Diperkirakan akan dipersenjatai dengan SLBM (submarine-launched ballistic missiles).

Perbedaan Tampilan Karena data tidak dibuka secara umum, beberapa sumber memperkirakan bahwa kapal selam kelas Dakar untuk Israel ini memliki tampilan badan yang lebih besar dibandingkan kapal selam konvensional lainnya, prakiraan tersebut berdasarkan beberapa motif, diantaranya; integrasi antara airlock untuk operasi khusus, tambahan ruang untuk mengakomodasi wahana bawah air tanpa awak (UUV) maupun UAV. Peningkatan sarana fasilitas Komando-Kendali untuk mendukung kemampuan ISR (Intelligent-Surveillance-Reconnaissance) , serta tempat untuk peluncur misil (SLBM) berupa VLS – vertical launched system yang mampu meluncurkan 10 buah SLBM, ataupun SLCM/Submarine-Launched Cruise Missiles . Dan tentunya persenjataan peluncur torpedo. DAKAR Class juga akan mampu melakukan penyelaman yang lebih lama dibandingkan versi konvensional lainnya. Bila kapal selam DAKAR ini benar-benar dilengkapi dengan peluncur misil balistik, maka DAKAR merupakan kapal selam kelas yang kedua setelah kapal selam kelas KSS-III yang dioperasikan oleh Angkatan Laut Korea Selatan, yang dilengkapi dengan peluncur misil vertical yang terpasang pada hull kapal.   Pembelian kapal selam kelas DAKAR ini melalui proses yang cukup panjang. Pada tahun 2017 Israel dan Jerman menandatangani kesepakatan (MoU) untuk pengadaan tiga unit kapal selam baru, sebagai bagian dari kontrak pengadaan kapal selam kelas Dolphin, dengan biaya sebesar US$ 1,5 milyar. Menurut kesepakatan tersebut, pihak Jerman menyetujui untuk mensubsidi hingga 30% dari biaya hull kapal selam tersebut termasuk biaya mekanikal dan elektrikal. Pihak Angkatan Laut Israel mengumumkan bahwa ketiga kapal selam yang akan dibeli tersebut diberi nama kelas DAKAR. Israel sebenarnya juga baru saja mengoperasikan kapal selam kelas Dolphin yang dirancang oleh HDW. Dolphin yang pertama merupakan kapal selam yang diproduksi dengan dasar versi ekspor kapal selam type-209, yang dimodifikasi dan diperbesar ukurannya. Sub-kelas Dolphin-I memiliki panjang dan bobot yang lebih besar dari kapal selam milik angkatan laut Jerman Type-212. Sistem AIP (air-independent propulsion) yang digunakan sama dengan Type-212, namun lebih panjang 12 meter, sehingga bobot saat menyelam memiliki bobot yang juga lebih besar. Jumlah awak kapal juga lebih banyak dibandingkan Type-212 maupun Type-214. Kelas Dolphin-II merupakan kapal selam terbesar yang pernah dibuat di Jerman. Kapal selam ini merupakan pengganti kapal selam kelas Gal yang dipensiunkan setelah beroperasi sejak tahun 1970an. Semua kapal selam kelas Dolphin dipersenjatai dengan 16 buah torpedo dan misil jelajah (SLCM) Popeye Turbo yang memiliki jangkauan tembak hingga 1.500 km., memiliki hulu ledak nuklir seberat 200 kiloton berisikan hingga 6 kg plutonium.

INS Drakon (Dragon), source. Kapal Selam Israel HDW Kelas 212A Sebagai perbandingan dengan kapal selam kelas Dolphin, Kelas-212 dibuat dalam dua kelompok yang terdiri dari empat unit dan dua unit. Empat unit versi ini juga dibuat di Itali dibawah lisensi TKMS. Kedua kelompok kelas-212 tersebut menggunakan HDW Fuel Cell System digabungkan ke motor PERMASYN® sehingga kapal dalap menyelam dengan waktu yang lebih lama. Memiliki system komando-kendali senjata yang terintegrasi, memiliki Flank dan towed array sonar, otomatisasi peralatan pendukung, Pusat Informasi Tempur, dan persenjataan lainnya. Untuk kelas-212 kelompok ke-2 dilengkapi dengan system komunikasi yang terintegrasi untuk digunakan dalam scenario Jaring Centric Warfare, integrated German Sonar and Command-Weapon Control System, flank array sonar diganti dengan superficial lateral antenna. Mengganti salah satu periskop dengan optronic mast, serta dilengkapi dengan diver lock-out system yang terintegrasi. Data singkat: - Panjang keseluruhan: (sekitar) 56 – 58 meter (kelompok 1 dan kelompok 2) - Pressure hull diameter: 7 meter - Bobot dipermukaan air: 1.450 – 1.500 ton (kelompok 1 dan kelompok 2) - Tinggi (termasuk sail): 11,5 meter - Tabung senjata: 6 unit - Awak kapal: 28 personel. KAPAL SELAM KELAS HDW DOLPHIN AIP Versi kapal selam ini dibuat atas dasar pesanan (customized) yang perancangannya dilakukan bersama antara pihak TKMS dengan pihak pembeli, sehingga diperoleh rancangan yang ideal, sesuai kebutuhan pihak pembeli. Kapal selam HDW Kelas Dolphin AIP memiliki peningkatan pada nilai operasional dengan sistem fuel cell AIP yang memperpanjang lamanya waktu penyelaman, dan kecanggihan sistem tempurnya berkat weapon expulsion system, torpedo, misil dan ranjau dapat diluncurkan dari set tabung senjata. Selain itu, kapal ini didukung dengan otomatisasi pada system control untuk propulsi, navigasi dan pengoperasian kapal yang dapat mengurangi beban kerja awak kapal. Kapal selam kelas ini dijuluki sebagai “silent. Undetected. Powerful.” Data singkat: - Panjang keseluruhan: 68,60 meter - Pressure hull diameter: 6,70 meter - Bobot dipermukaan air: 2.050 ton - Awak: 35 personel Kapal selam kelas Dolphin-II pesanan Angkatan laut Israel yang terakhir (INS Dragon – dalam Bahasa Ibrani Drakon) sudah memasuki tahap uji melaut di perairan Kiel, Jerman. Panjangnya lebih panjang disbanding kelompok Dolphin-I, dilengkapi dengan vertical launch system (VLS). Singkat mengenai AIP. Air-independent propulsion (AIP) atau air-independent power, merupakan teknologi propulsi untuk kapal selam konvensional (non-nuklir) sehingga dapat beroperasi tanpa perlu mengakses atmosphere oxygen dengan naik kepermukaan laut atau menggunakan snorkel. AIP akan memperkuat atau mengganti sistem propulsi diesel-electric pada kapal selam konvensional. Dengan menggunakan sistem AIP ini maka operasional kapal selam akan lebih berkurang kebisingannya dan akan lebih sulit untuk dideteksi (stealthier disbanding kapal selam bertenaga nuklir yang dalam mendinginkan reaktornya menggunakan pompa khusus). AIP biasanya di-implementasikan sebagai sumber pembantu (auxiliary), dengan mesin diesel tradisional yang menangani propulsi permukaan. Dalam beberapa sistem membangkitkan listrik, dengan memutar drive motor elektrik untuk propulsi atau mengisi ulang batere. Selain untuk propulsi, sistem elektrik pada kapal selam juga berfungsi untuk mengoperasikan ventilasi, lampu penerangan, sistem pemanas, dan lain-lain (“hotel services”). Dalam jajaran Angkatan Laut Amerika Serikat digunakan simbol klasifikasi hull “SSP” untuk menyatakan kapal yang ditenagai dengan AIP, dan “SSK” untuk kapal selam serbu dengan propulsi diesel-electric biasa.

TKMS Representatives Arrive in Jakarta to Discuss Type 214 submarines https://bit.ly/3sTZl4S

[worldsub]

KSS-II upgrade program The first KSS-II Son Won-il class submarine was commissioned in late 2007. With a displacement of 1,400 tons, it surpasses the capabilities of the preceding KSS-I Jang Bogo-class submarine in underwater operations. This is attributed to its AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) system and its ability to fire the Hyunmoo-III cruise missiles, which can strike targets up to 1,000 km away. The technology behind the KSS-II was derived from the German Type 214 submarine. The upgrade program aims to enhance the operational capability of the KSS-II submarines currently in service. This will be achieved by replacing outdated systems, such as the combat management system (CMS) and sonar, with the latest indigenous equipment. An investment of approximately $595.68 million USD is allocated for this project, which is slated to run from 2025 to 2036. Through this upgrade, the survivability and combat capability of the KSS-II submarines are expected to improve, bolstering their capacity to monitor and deter potential threats for years to come.

Australia considers German submarine option as tensions with French company grow - ABC News

[nebris]

Howaldswerke-Deutsche Werft (part of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems from 2005) have almost two hundred years of experience in ship building and over eighty years in submarine construction. It built U-boats during both WWI and WWII. After the WWII it was one of shipyards that was not dismantled and remain active building civilian ships. Type 201 become first submarine built for German navy after the WWII, follow by the sucessfull Type 205 and Type 206. Most sucessfull submarine become the Type 209 which enter service in 1971 (first operator become Hellenic navy - which buy four Type 209/1100 - under the name Glavakos class). Sixty one Type 209 were built in five different subtypes (209/1100, 209/1200, 209/1300, 209/1400 and 209/1500 - two additional subtypes 209/1600 and 209/1700 were proposed but never built). Production of this class was almost forty years old with South African Heroine (modified 209/1400) S103 Queen Modjaji I been the last boat built (2008). It was without dobut most sucessful non nuclear submarine in modern times. Type 212 - First commissioned in service in 2005 with German navy, Type 212 at the time of the launch and even today fifteen years later become one of most advanced attack submarines ever. It was not built in larger number as its predcessor the 209 but still twelve of them were built by the 2021, although three submarines of the Dolphin 2 (Israel) were heavily modified on 212. Type 214 - is believed to be the next sucess and although not build in numbers as Type 209 twenty four ships were ordered from 2002 to 2020. Type 216 - is design created for Australian navy, however after Australia order six Soryu class submarines in 2017 and two FAS90 submarines in 2020, class was cancelled, although Vietnam and Pakistan were both insterested to buy submarine and Pakistan actually order two of them. Type 218 - proposed submarine fo Singapore, however since Singapore ordered nine submarines from NovaTech, 218 was cancelled.

While the initial sub saw very little interest and only four were sold it sucessor the FAS65 saw much more attention. Not only the submarine was cheaper but it was fit with advanced technologies that were better even of those HDW had. Not only that but all NT subs from FAS65 to FAS90 were heavily armed. With large number of bow torpedo tubes, VLS's and mines as well advanced countermeasures. On top of all advances NT was capable to build FAS65 and 72 series under one year retaining the quality. This was due NT policy to have all needed parts for submarine assembly near the main assembly line. Every part from largest to smallest was to be in shipyard and only then when all parts were counted construction can start. It was also the way subs were built from only three main segments. Foward part with mid section, aft section with part of mid section and con tower. NT engineers and workers were capable to outfit all technologies into all three segments and then fusing them together, sea trials also last less time. This gives NT capability to built larger number of submarines in less time (usually two to three years were needed on most shipyards), and this is the main card for good sales of both FAS65 and 72. Technologically NT submarines were better, more resilient, twice dangerous then those of HDW and mostly they were slightly chepaer then HDW subs, although FAS75/72 and FAS90 were slightly more expensive.  However even in twenty years NT ND establish itself as one of best in submarine design and construction. Operators in 2021: FAS50: Total ordered: 4, in service: 4 Urugvay: 2x FAS50 in service Nigeria: 2x FAS50 in service FAS65: Total ordered: 20, total in service: 20 Venezuela: 2x FAS65 in service Mexico: 6x FAS65 in service South Africa: 4x FAS65 in service New Zeeland: 2x FAS65 in service Turkey: 6x FAS65 in service FAS72(72/75,75/72): Total ordered: 22, in service: 13, to be delivered: 9 Singapore: 9x FAS72 (4x FAS72 in service, two additional FAS72 on order, 1x FAS75/72 in service, two additional under construction) Indonesia: 6xFAS72 (4x FAS72 in service, 1x FAS75/72 in service, one additional FAS75/72 under construction) Thailand: 2x FAS72 (one FAS72 in service, one more under construction) Portugal: 4x FAS72 (2x FAS72/75 in service, 2x FAS75/72 planned) Nigeria: 1x FAS75/72 under construction FAS90: 10 FAS90 on order Turkey: 2x FAS90 on order Vietnam: 1x FAS90 on order Italy: 4x FAS90 on order Australia: 2x FAS90 on order Taiwan: 1x FAS90 on order, all FAS90 subs were expected to be delievered between 2023 and 2026 In total: HDW has sold 100 of its modern submarines (Types 209 to 216) from 1971 to 2020, while NovaTech Naval division sold 56 submarines (FAS50 to FAS90) from 2001 to 2020. Yes the HDW sold more submarines, however NT ND establish itself quickly on the submarine market with quality and state of art submarines. Submarines that were designed to kill the large ballistic subs and every other types of ships in the world.
