French Suffren submarines. Rebound or unlikely? Australia's strategic and financial error will cost it dearly and delivery in 2060 (Aukus at the earliest) is untenable.

The country paid $500 million to the 🇺🇲 in 2024 and #NavalGroup is not under any illusions. Australia is in a real headache. https://www.lavoixdunord.fr/1530412/article/2024-12-05/l-australie-devrait-planifier-l-acquisition-de-sous-marins-suffren-vers-un

Construction of Australian or Canadian submarines (which are looking to equip themselves with 12 submarines for around $55 billion) by France 🇫🇷? "Nice dream, but it won't happen. We shouldn't even propose it. Too risky in terms of turnaround. These countries are dependent on the USA.

Too much risk that Washington will break the deal in 5 or 10 years". The Suffren perfectly meets the needs but #NavalGroup fears a new trap

Suffren SSN was the reference design for the diesel Attack class that Australia intended to purchase before moving to SSNs. It offers the solution to the problems with AUKUS. It is currently in production by Naval Group, with three of the six planned submarines in service with the French Navy.

Avenir tumultueux pour le pacte #AUKUS. Le coût se révèle exorbitant. Entre 2020 et 2050, le montant devrait s’élever entre 268 et 368 milliards $ australiens (164 à 225 milliards d’€) pour la livraison de trois à cinq sous-marins américains de classe Virginia et environ huit sous-marins SSN-AUKUS.

Les douze sous-marins de Naval Group avaient été négociés pour 56 milliards d’€ (100 milliards de $ australiens) et leur coût aurait probablement été de 150 milliards de dollars australiens s’ils avaient été conçus avec un système de propulsion nucléaire. https://www.icp.fr/a-propos-de-licp/actualites/alliance-aukus-les-problemes-de-fond-des-forces-sous-marines-australiennes
