Kind make sense, considering it likely will be the cheapest offer on the table.
Drawback is Stirling is both rather bulky and inefficient though, the range would probably be just enough for the baltic/north sea

Probably a good call. It's smaller than the Type 212CD, Sortfin Barracuda or S-80 Plus and probably better suited for the Baltic Sea. And good that they decided for European gear instead of gook shit.
>>
>Babcock backing integration and maintenance
Come on Sweden just sign for the 31s already
>>
>>64565783
The proximity and industry cooperation seem to me like a more major factor, because the sub itself is much more expensive than its competitors.
A26 - 1.31 billion
S-80 - 983.75 million
Type 212CD - ~1.2 billion (not sure)
U212 NFS - 500 million
Scorpene - 450 million

>>64565783
>the range would probably be just enough for the baltic/north sea
Isn't that exactly what they're intended for? The baltic sea is apparently a clusterfuck at the sea bottom so it makes sense they picked one designed for that environment
>>
>>64566079
imo, considering the current situation, Poland would be better off with building a robust ground force and air+drone defense. Interdiction of Russian naval assets responsibility should fall on north sea/north atlantic states. Most of them(canada, germany, uk) also has a bigger economy than poland, without an existential need for a large ground force.
Polish navy should be more focused on usv and mine laying operations

>>64563614
Does this mean Kaliningrad will finally be polish again?
>>
>narwhal news
>>
>Its standard complement consists in 26 sailors.
That's so few, that's so tiny. I understand that Baltic is a shallow sea and also it's the current year, but that's half of WW2 submarines.
>>
>>64566195
They're already investing heavily in ground and air. Navy has been sort of neglected because their main focus has been on the border around kaliningrad and belarus. Right now they only have one kilo class submarine and with the increased activity in the baltic sea having 3 new subs only makes sense.
>>
>>64563614
As a Pole I got mixed feelings about this.
On one hand, Sweden as a country is a good choice politically, we don't have any dramas and both see/treat Russian threat in similar ways, and Sweden is also operating on the Baltic Sea, a very specific sea that they design their subs for specifically so it's great.
But then, it's only Sweden that operates/builds these subs, with the current ones being delayed 3 times and exploding in costs. This offer feels more like Swedes just wanted to get rid off of the firs new gen batches that had some flaws and build improved next batch for themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least we will quickly get a modernized A19 sub on 2 years with crew training and the first deliveries of A26 will be quite fast (unless swedes delay it for 4th time).
>>64566215
Baltic is a tiny sea, with a massive density of ships/sensors all around and only like 13-15% of it being deeper than 100 meters. Subs need to be tiny to survive in that. Also, baltic subs will be operating close to host countries and not doing some months long travels across world oceans so no need for large sub/crew to operate for months without docking.
>>
>>64566395
Well, there’s always an option of buying old submarine from germs if you feel like not wanting to be jewed by swedecuck. Apparently they broke the diving record for non nuclear submarine, if true.

https://desuarchive.org/k/thread/63847974/#63850876
212a class is also right about the size of a26. Though you’ll probably run into spare part problem, since germs might not be going with coastal short range submarine anymore, since norway and possibly canuck are more oriented toward the arctic and north atlantic.
>>
>>64566650
We will see. If the long term repairs and spare parts deliveries are good on the Swedish part, and this will evolve into some kind of future submarine design funding by both us and Sweden it will be great.
Our gov chose Swedes most likely because our soviet era ancient submarine is barely functioning and Swedes could quickly fill the gap with their used A19 for the time being to keep ours sub sailors in action.

Nah, we are building frigates under "Miecznik" codename, and we are pumping out anti-mining ships 24/7. Also, considering that we now have gas pipelines, power cables and sea wind farms on the baltic sea now it is kinda needed to have our own fleet, even if small in size like 3 subs and 3 frigates to defend our infrastructure and trade to our ports.

Polak here.

We have no doubts that the Swedish boat will be light years better than what we currently have..

More importantly Sweden is actually a reliable military ally in our part of the woods, they share the same risks and have the same threat perception of PUCCIA. We're looking to becoming much closer allies, even setting up a defensive pact with them, in which we have a brigade of paratroopers in Gotland, while they send a few battalions and Gripens near Koningsberg.

Since NATO is basically dead and the US is now a belligerent, we need to consider a nuclear weapons program, and Sweden basically has a turn key capability of becoming a nuclear power.

Wish we could trash that deal we got suckered buying shitty ass AH-64s from Boeing.

We have no confidence in NATO, nor countries like Germany, France, the US, Italy or Portugal actually sending troops and sailors to die for Eastern Poland.

We see how Ukraine is being coerced into signing her own capitulation under the auspices of "preserving peace" or "de-escalating with Putin". We expect to be treated in the same, instrumentalized manner.

The majority of Polaks are still somewhat in a state of delusion about Article 5 and actual US global readiness and capabilities.

The US is weaker than it ever has been, and they're only bluffing to be our security partners to keep milking us for tax-free status of their mega corporations operating in Poland as well as ensuring legacy weapon sales.

Putin's invasion of Ukraine was the signal we all understood: America no longer has credible deterrence.

For that reason, we must seek non-proliferation of atomic weapons in Central Europe: I propose a mutual defensive pact between Sweden-Finland-Poland (Baltics are a bit of a liability desu, just too small), possibly Romania (they're fickle and weak), Ukraine and Turkey.

Our military should immediately start drawing up plans for a naval blockade of Kaliningrad and starving those ziggers there, if we see any more asiatic puccian hybdrid warfare bullshit.

As a back-up, we need to start developing long range ballistic missiles with Sweden and Ukraine (already has advanced designs) that can strike Moscow and Leningrad WITHOUT asking for permission from the US, who will be pressuring us to "please de-escalate"!!
>>
>>64567327
I still believe in American military might because raw numbers don't lie and 600 stealth fighters are nothing to scoff at. Deterrence failed because of American politics, not a lack of strength.

Whether or not we can trust that strength to actually be put to a good use is another matter entirely, and I agree with you on this. America is not a reliable security exporter anymore, at least until all the retarded boomers die and the two party system goes with them... which is still a decade or two away at least

They tried to deflect and say it was the German components at fault even though every single gook 214 had the problem, but no other 214 operator did. An almost identical problem happened with the subs they sold to Indonesia with poor ventilation systems causing the corrosion along with some power spiking issues.

Now that same issue was found on others in Batch 1. Batch 2 issues are more legal side since they signed the contract with DSME, but they were bought out by Hanwha Ocean. Now HO is trying to skirt the terms of the contract since it was technically signed with DSME. Ironically now the Indos are looking towards the nips to fill the gap of dumping the gooks.

If it's a 250 km class missile, you're decently far from your target, and safely below radar horizon (assuming the enemy force doesn't have AEW). And 250 km is far longer range than any torpedo. Though he is right about a) intercept probability; b) smaller warhead.

Personally, I'm in favor of returning to 'pitbull' style minisubs. <750-ish tons (large enough to fit a prairie/masker or equivalent, but still compact), 8+ torpedo tubes (some of them with multi-packed weapons, like IDAS missiles or Sea Spider self-defense minitorpedoes; I think even the Torped 47 can be dual-packed in extended-length torp tubes) and no reloads.

Even with a 50% involvement of domestic manufacturing, the swedes could not convince the dutch to buy their subs.

That would be just fine, the guy who is trying to sell it makes it clear he wants a western version of the Yono in all but name, which is what that is. If you read closely he even outlines the exact missions Yonos are used for then lists every single place on earth that they could be used EXCEPT the Yellow Sea, the omissions are really conspicuous if you look for them.

While we are on the topic of cheap things that NATO doesn't use but might consider: Submersible speed boats. That maze of hundreds of islands on the Finnish coast would be ideal, give them a pair of lightweight torpedoes and a few Brimstones and they would be great.

You could even give them a full sized externally mounted heavyweight torpedo if it was a catamaran, stick it under them; imagine a submersible version of the Cobra Water Moccasin. Just infest the southern coast with a few dozen of them then swarm out and delete anything Russian that floats. If you infested both coasts any Russian subs would be forced into the middle where the underwater listening networks and full sized subs are.

Very short-ranged manned midget subs like the DGK are going to have strong competition from armed (i.e. torpedo-carrying) submarine drones. If you think about it, most of a sub's internal volume is dedicated to keeping the crew alive. If you remove the crew, you can make the sub a lot cheaper, while still preserving its combat capabilities.

The Scandinavian and Baltic people are ethical people, it is what separates them from Russians and makes them worthy of being considered humans.

Scandis, but really Swedes in particular, are just self-righteous moralizers, much of it brought on by the need to wash away the reputation of the amoral profiteering bystander in WW2, and also as an attempt to gain international relevance in the only avenue open to them; as a "moral" superpower.

It's not about ethics, but effectiveness. For instance, something like a DGK has a submerged range of just a bit over 100 nm (probably at submerged cruise speed). There are large weapon-carrying UUVs in development which can do that for roughly half the price of an equivalent minisub.

kadłub: SSAB Strenx 700, stal magnetyczna
baterie: kwasowo-ołowiowe, nie litowo-jonowe

owszem, można je wymienić, ale AIP nie wymienisz, a generuje dodatkowe sygnatury (w tym cieplną i chemiczną, bo trzeba rozpuszczać spaliny w wodzie)

torpedy: nie ma pneumatycznego systemu wystrzału pozwalającego na korzystanie z pocisków manewrujących lub przeciwokrętowych (SM40 Exocet), można tylko i wyłącznie korzystać z ciężkich torped typu swim-out, a te używane w a26 mają tylko napęd spalinowy.

na tym ładnym obrazku a26 ma wyrzutnie VLS, tylko że fizyczne zbudowane prototypy, które mamy dostać nie są i nie będą w nie zaopatrzone.

a26, gdy już te prototypy szwedzkie zostaną ukończone i nam przekazane po 2030-2035 roku, będzie przestarzały.

Przecież można by od razu zamówić baterie litowo-jonowe zamiast kwasowo-ołowiowych, w czym problem? Jest tylko zawsze taka opcja, jakby się zamówiło te oryginalnie zaplanowane, że można by je wymienić na nowsze. Tylko, że kwasowo-ołowiowe są tańsze i bezpieczniejsze, a litowo-jonowe bardziej wydajne, ale za to bardziej droższe i palne.

Stirling AIP is proven and reliable technology, meaning no "we will finish developing it in X years" risk. It's the correct choice for coastal patrol and small seas like the Baltic.
Swedish subs are also able to engage more targets than the other participants due to not just using 533 mm heavy torpedoes but also double-stacked (2 per tube) 400 mm light torpedoes, which make anything barring the heaviest targets go boom.
A26 is also heavily configured for seabed warfare and other special operations, which has been a massive problem in the Baltic recently with all the cable cutting, pipeline sabotage and other spook ops.

As per protocol, two military trucks accompanied by armed soldiers entered the Kockums shipyard in Malmö to reclaim all materiel and equipment belonging to the Defence Materiel Administration (Sweden), FMV, as well as all secret blueprints and images. By orders from a manager, Kockums staff tried to sabotage the repossession by locking the gates with the repossession crew and escort still inside.[8] According to a spokesperson for FMV, this is the first time they have had to forcefully repossess equipment.[8]

Except the PEMFC has done twice the amount a decade ago. There's a reason why Japs ditched Stirling for more Li-ion batteries, and even then, they dont provide extended endurance like PEMFC.
Also pic related, reminder that soryu is a 4000t SSK, well over twice as big as a u212a, yet only with a marginally worse endurance(lol). The smaller A26 will more than likely be inferior to 212a in endurance, not to mention acoustic stealth, since stirling AIP comes with moving parts.

The reason fuel cells have started getting cut out in some recent sub designs is cost. Not of the sub itself, but of the ancillary infrastructure. If you don't use fuel cells, you don't need complex and expensive pierside cryostorage and pumping equipment for liquid oxygen and hydrogen. Nor do you need specially trained crew to operate said equipment, either for pierside fueling, or the sub's own systems. A sub with two/three diesels and a fuckton of Li-ions is the most straightforward option.

I believe all subs carry LOX, but LOX is trivial technology compared to the hydrogen, which is super difficult to handle.
>>64593454
Famously, Stirling engine equipped Swedish subs managed to outmaneuver the entire protective contingent of an American carrier group during an exercise, I dont think you can critize it based on how stealthy it is. Endurance is the limiter, which is no issue at all in the Baltic. LOX and diesel logistics are simpler than hydrogen logistics during times of conflict, easier to refuel at more sites or even temporary sites.
Its probably the other features (more torpedoes, seabed warfare capabilities etc) which makes the A26 attractive.

Wut ??? PEMFC ain’t fecking nuclear science, refueling LOX, and even hydrogen, as the case with u32 in the us is pretty straight forward. Hydrogen storage onboard is risky though, indeed. TKMS has been working on methanol reformer since the 90s. Words around are 212cd will go with a reformer instead of metal hydride, which would be much more suitable for large boats.

Except stirling only has a 40% efficiency, literally peasant tier compare to the BZM34/BZM120 on 212a/214.
At lower output, PEMFC efficiency is just under 70%, and even at nominal power load, they are still around 55%.
Not to mention Stirling diving depth limit, iirc it's around 200m.
The much bigger Soryu at 4000t has 4x75kW stirling for a total 300kW output, that's not even enough for 5 knots transiting.
the smaller 212a at 1800t submerged has 9x34kW=306kW. A bigger 212cd will easily carry much more, hence a higher tactical speed.

TLDR: PEMFC is pretty much the only currently feasible if you want both fast transiting(still not as fast as nuclear subs, obviously) and long endurance.
fuel cell only drawback is their price tag. Though seeing the amount that poles will be paying for a26, im not even sure if poles procurement is either smart or efficient at all

btw, no, the reformer efficiency is above 90% and quite compact. Ashore testing has been done for like 2 decades, so its not like the datas is lacking somehow.
Aussie ditching 216 offer for frog diesel electric with LAB was the biggest lul back then, at least they remedied with AUKUS

I wonder when they will make ethanol fuel cells work, because I can't wait enough for vodka powered subs. Just imagine the engine compartment and its engineers during patrols.

Not really, given they were supposed act only in the west in the mind of russians, not look at the absurd crimes against the environment/citizens happening at home like picrel (gee i wonder where Norilsk is on that map)
They did that with a lot of different groups, anti-nuclear movements in Germany among others supported full blast, but when the ideas seeped over to East Germany their response was
>Shut up and dig the fucking ditch traitor, if we have nukes it's fine
This has led to a visible split in peace movements nowadays, between the young guys asking themselves
>if we're against war shouldn't we also condemn Russias invasion?
and the old farts that are mostly russian stooges for life

That's where Greta becomes a nuisance to the people who wanted to use the environmental movement to undermine the west; she is popular enough to not need support and has literal Rothschild money backing her so she can do whatever annoying thing she feels like doing.

Even better, the zigger is complaining that NAFO infiltrated the jannies when we know that the opposite is true.
They're really complaining that there are still some non-zigger jannies left and this is intolerable to them because they still get 3d b&s sometimes.

Every accusation from a zigger is a confession.
>>
>>64592761
>Why was this post deleted? They are obviously wrong but it didn't break any rules that i know of.
That's usually a sign that they're a zigger spamming more obvious stuff in another thread and all their posts got nuked for it.

The fact that they b&-evaded instead of taking 3days kind of confirms that they're a shill, troll or /pol/tard shitposter.

The final two Soryu's built don't have AIPs and only use LIBs. And obviously the Taigei class followed suit, no AIP, LIBs only.

They were successfull because the swedish government ceased to fund submarine R&D and purchases after the Gotland class. The only reason the poles buy this sub is because it is neither german nor russian and they also get to borrow a Gotland class in the meantime because their clapped out 40 year old Kilo is not seaworthy any more. The polish A26 sub is scheduled for delivery in 8 years (!). Kockums have to start over from zero.
