Or is it so you can't compare them since Kilo is build to operate in deep water like the Atlantic and the Swedish Sub A26 is build for operating near coast.

Yeah I see that on the page but to me it doesn't read right I'm curious is it a 6 engine plan or a 4 engine plan or both in different hulls ?
It may just be me and the way I'm reading it
Overall the A26 I would say is going to be superior to the Kilo especially in littoral waters such as the Baltic and North sea, however the Kilo will have a better deep water capability and this from the site leads me to that conclusion.

but is optimized for shallow waters such as the Baltic Sea. In practice, this means that the A26 can carry out transit over larger seas and then have its area of operation close to the coast.

Swedish boats operate at certain depths and from being on HMSwS Uppland a while ago I was a little bit confused at first as to why the boat goes as deep as stated by the indicators
