Viking Submarine Project??

Finland had observation status within the Viking Project with an option to purchase two boats. That purchase would have been a huge boast to Finland’s military. It would be nice to see Norway purchase two boats, Sweden purchase two boats, Finland purchase two boats and Taiwan purchase eight boats.

yeah, but with whose money?? Subs arent usefull in NATO’s imper…crisis inverion missions, so they wont get enough sympatihes in the budget…those intresting hovercraft FAC project went off couse they werent able to travel far from our shores…next new thing we migth have see in finnish navy are ships of similar function than the new dannish toys…

…maybe not so big ones, but similarry bizzard transport/combatant role…

But to the topic is there any pics of artist impresion or offical scethces of this Viking, now as Finland was mentioned… 😎 I have seen some hars drawings, mainly in Weyers last years volume, but nothing more…???

Shame that there isent any realistic project for revial of Finnish submarine arm after 60 years of absent…if there were, Sweede would be 99% the source of the imagined new boats…its sad, sad thing…our militaryplanners have never praised martime reach… 🙁 😡 🙁

Dead.

Denmark disbanded their submarine arm, norway’s subs will not need replacement this side of 2020, and sweden is targeting 2017 for new subs. Kockums is doing a prestudy on a new type of sub for the swedish navy, A26 “a conventional submarine with high capacity for special forces” supposed to be based on the technology developed for the viking project. It is unlikely that it will be built unless at least one international partner comes on board.
