You mean the S-80? I haven't been able to find much information about its design lineage, to be honest.

Actually the Swedish help the US Navy people see how to operate conventional submarines. You see things too simplistic. In the end Canada or Australia will give the submarines to the ROC and ask the PRC if they want to pay higher prices for their resources while Germany and France will moan that they have been betrayed.

Operating a submarine isn't the same as building one.
And why would Canada and Australia do that?

What Canada Submarine you mean Canadian Rust bucket that caught fire and absolute disaster, can't go under the ice .It will costing canadian tax payer 4 billion dollar and take years to repair Listen this .
Canadian doesn't have any know how in building submarine period ditto with Australian
By David Pugliese
The Royal Canadian Navy should get rid of its current fleet of submarines and instead purchase new and proven boats, says a Liberal senator and former chairman of the Senate defence committee.
Colin Kenny says the current fleet of Victoria-class submarines has been a failure and it is time to cut losses before any more money is invested.
"There have been repeated assurances from Canada's naval commanders that after expenditures that are closing in on $3 billion, Canada's submarine program is finally on the mend," says Kenny. "But rational analysis of the pratfalls of the last decade can't help but conclude that the navy is throwing good money after bad on its current fleet of submarines."
In an op-ed column in Saturday's Citizen, Kenny points out that the navy's four subs have only spent a total of 900 days at sea in the last 10 years.
The Australian Collin class face no better future. Facing constant mechanical problem, control problem
TWO of Australia's six trouble-wracked Collins class submarines will not return to sea until they have been of action for a total of at least nine years.
The revelation is another blow to the reputation of Australia's multi-billion dollar submarine fleet, which has been dogged by problems since HMAS Collins was launched in 1996.
It was also revealed yesterday that the federal government is demanding $5 million in compensation from the Australian Submarine Corporation over defects that have kept HMAS Collins incapacitated.

Canada and Australia are two countries allied with the US that have some bargaining clips in an economic confrontation with the PRC. That's a rare gift most nations on earth lack.
Its essentially a Spanish version of the French Skorpene. When the conservative government was in power in Madrid before the railway bombings the White House was hoping Bazan would supply subs to TW.
Oh now the Swiss are "selling" arms to Taiwan. Or is Taiwan pirating the AHEAD munition?
Whatever happened to attempts to make a land based TC2 SAM system? I know there was even a test of a VL version though they seem to have given up on a cold launch system and went with a hot launch in the video I saw.

And what bargaining chip would Canberra have? Given a few years ago they had to backtrack when their FM Downer said they might not get involved in a US-PRC fight over Taiwan?
Ore and Oil he is think of.
which is interesting.
I thought in this interdependent all-free-trade world civilized people wouldn't use trade as a leverage anymore.
or is it only the barbarians that does that.....I mean the civilized world.
wait...
does that mean chinese hawks are right in that they need a strong navy and military to secure their access to resources?
oh with how little understanding this world is ran.

Ran out of money. And as for the AHEAD system, it shouldn't be too hard to make your own electronically timed fuses, if you have a good electronics and machine tool industry like Taiwan does.
