I understand their Kilos aren't ready on a training level; however, in 3-5 yrs they will, and the updated-Kilos that they have are reputed to be as quiet or quiter than even Seawolf class.

China has 2 Type 636, the other 2 are 877EKM. Seawolf is old, so Type 636 cannot be compared with them. USN's new attack submarine is Virginia class, and it is nuclear powered for a start. Remember Kilo's dont have AIP, so how ever quiet they may be, they dont have the endurance to stay submerged.

look at USN exercises w/ Dutch+Australians. i think US needs to get away from Red flag + do it all blue v. blue.

Again you have to really look in to the units they deploy during these exercises and the limitations of the exercises. They are trained for any eventuality, and they would never see/experience most of them. Surprises are always there, so I dont want to really go there. So MK-1's beating F-15 or F-16's may not work in favour of India, If India is to ever fight USAF as a whole.
