Turkey and Pakistan have signed an agreement to modernize submarines, it was announced Friday.

Turkey's defense technology company STM and Pakistan's Ministry of Defense Production signed the agreement to expand capabilities of Pakistan's Agosta 90B submarines.

The bid for the submarine modernization tender was won by STM in June 2016 against the submarines' French manufacturers.

Pakistan's ministry has found STM technically and commercially superior, the Turkish firm said in a statement.

Within the scope of the agreement, the STM will modernize four submarines.

STM also tweeted on Friday: "Capabilities of Pakistan Agosta90B submarines to be enhanced by the main contractor STM through an amendment signed on March 8."

STM was established in 1991 for providing technical support and consultancy to the Turkish Armed Forces and Presidency of Defense Industries.

What kind of extension will they give ?

 

[YeBeWarned]

we made a blunder when we only have 3 Augosta's , we should have at least 5 of them .

 

[Jinn Baba]

We clearly dont trust the French anymore.

What kind of extension will they give ?

Electronics, Optics and countermeasure systems

We clearly dont trust the French anymore.

That relationship only exists on paper I am afraid.

Excellent choice by Pakistan.

 

[alphapak]

This is good for both Pak and Turkey.

These should easily see 2030 after modernisation

Plus 8 x SSK

Good fleet

How much longer will the Agosta 70A's soldier on ?

 

[metalfalcon]

we need to build our navy just as strong as our PAF, our Navy is the only weak link in our defences

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

I second that sir.

we need to build our navy just as strong as our PAF, our Navy is the only weak link in our defences

 

[WarKa DaNG]

Why cant we build more Agosta 90Bs infact we have the ToT so what are we waiting for

 

[aziqbal]

How much longer will the Agosta 70A's soldier on ?

Maybe when the first new SSK enter they will retire

They will be 40+ years old

Even for training that is just going to be dangerous for sailors
