Thank depends on what systems the client installs on them. I'd suggest some of that is classified, depending on the client.

Well the presence and type of the various sonar arrays can be derived from the dry dock pictures, this is true especially for the flank arrays (you can estimate their geometrical dimensions and to lesser extend type).

Ie there is a lot of verifiable open information to get a deep insight into the general architecture/design practices, it just needs to be processed. For example, here you could see the bow sonar of the pr.677:

Maybe we could take a leaf from the Japanese whaling handbook.....

......these nuclear subs are purely for scientific research. (and the administration of some bad medicine)..

Great idea. We could go nukes on nuke subs then purely for research purposes.

If the US built non nukes it stands to reason you'd probably get them from them because most of your military stuff is US in origin

Possible. But we buy gear from all over including our own design and builds that get exported.

Saw this on TV last night and

And here I thought we were the only ones who elected morons to office.

Double speaking as if he had two mouths.

At least the host knew when to cut it short.

I wonder if Australia would get a better deal with Kilos - only 360 million USD per boat.

If you're hard up for cash, I hear Ukraine has subs for cheap.
