As it says in on the fmv homepage about A26.

The A26 will be able to operate world-wide, 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.
Compared to the Kilo class which one of them is best ?

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.
