I saw a program on Discovery that talked about the U212/214. I was impressed by the 212/214 program and the sub seemed to be more roomy than before. I was also impressed by the command warfare center they had for the U212/214. It made me think of the Scorpenes ordered by the IN.
I was wondering which one would be better for IN in terms of long term patrolling, long duration attacking profiles, longer silent running, better sensing & analyzing capabilities.
I think the IN should have gone for 212/214 because they already had 209 in their inventory. Having 212/214 would mean an upgrade of the 209 infrastructure instead of building an entire new infrastructure. What says this great forum?
Here are the links to the subs for analysis:
