S-1000 Class

IMO they should have purchased a total technology transfer and built 9 S-1000 class submarines in Venezuela and skipped the Kilo and Amur classes all together.

Venezuela must think they need new subs now are they would not have made a split purchase wtih the Kilo and Amur Classes. Looks like the new American Littoral Combat Ships will have something to practice on in the Gulf of Mexico / Atlantic Ocean when they become operational.
