American, British & French Submarine Technology Compared l Why Australia Scrapped France Deal

France is furious after Australia scrapped its $90 billion submarine deal. Reports say Australia scrapped the deal because it wanted to pursue nuclear-powered subs with the US and UK. Paris has called the cancellation a stab in the back with Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian saying relations with the US and Australia were in a crisis.

Now, how will they proceed for maintenance ? Even with a base, there is complete logistic chain to build for this. My feeling is that they will send the subs to UK or USA.

    I think that the feeling of betrayal felt in France is not mainly due to the loss of the submarine contract. For several years, France has been implementing a defense policy in the Indo-Pacific based on its relations of trust with Australia. The two countries have a common history rich in sacrifices. Nobody in France has forgotten the Australian Expeditionary Force during the 1st World War and the blood shed on the Turkish coasts. What stunned France was the emergence without consultation of an alliance that excluded France and destroyed its efforts to secure its territories in the Indo-Pacific and its defense policy in this strategic area. The betrayal is there according to us (yes I am French which explains my poor English ...) Australia has isolated France and I will find it justified tomorrow, in the event of a problem, to send you back to your allies for whom business as usual is the rule. I think you broke much more than a contract, a trust that we thought was mutual... and that exlain our reactions. Now which country has the best submarine I don't know... It's a world of secrets and much smarter than me the one who pretends to answer it. I'm not sure that's the question ...

If the US can build a 8000 tonne nuke attack sub for 2 billion each why cant france build a 5200 tonne nuke sub for 1.4 billion?? for that 3.5 billion already spend by Australia they should have 2 subs in the water by now instead of nothing 0 to show for it.... Australia loses almost 4 billion and france loses nothing but its reputation caused by its own delays do they really expect australia to keep paying for promises ?

    Hi Nic, We cannot seriously compare a nuclear submarine to a conventional one... Australia ordered conventional submarines, it is a fact... The said submarines did not exist and they had to be designed. This is the main reason for the substantial price of the French offer, to which is added the desire to produce in Australia. If we talk about price I would like to know what you are basing it on because in my opinion Australia will not receive an Aukus submarine before around 2040 and nothing is defined on their price. If this happens, the Australian economy will not participate... You can put the blame on France but wait 5 or 10 years and we'll talk about it. It's all political, a desire for Australia to join the Aukus and nothing more. It is not a question of performance... although the Anglo-Saxon community persists in denying France competence in submarine matters, which does not help the damage suffered by France. For the record, even the Australian Prime Minister felt that the Australian choice was a mistake.

    What you ommited in your video (on purpose or not) is that the contract was initially based on conventional subs not nuclear powered. You also did not mentioned that French Barracuda shortfin is also a nuke subs. It was originally designed as a nuke subs and its conventional version is only for export purposes. In addition Suffren Class French nuke sub is actually one of the most advanced if not the most advanced submarine in the world since its conception is the most recent. Furthermore, if the real reason of all that was that Australia changed its mind and finally realised they needed non conventional subs instead of diesel powered ones, France would have been not only "delighted" to sell nuclear powered subs to Australie but also in a much faster way than UK or USA will do. Australia wanted to renew quickly its old fleet of Submarines, now they will have to wait 20 to 25 years before getting its first nuclear sub because UK and USA are not able to deliver faster!!!! So the morality of that shit is that UK and USA fucked the French government and Naval Group company and they fucked Australian government too!!! They could not admit and tolerate that France could by this sale put a foot in their zone of political and commercial influence. Especially since China has officially become the future adversary for the USA to monitor and control. And in the end, those who really get fucked very deeply are the Australians to whom they had to put a lot of pressure and above all make them fabulous promises that they knew they could not keep. So in the end, guess who's being really screwed up 😅😏🤣🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

    US subs will be delivered in 20 years. By that time who knows what China will be up to. The costs are already increasing because of US inflation rate. Fance had proposed the nuclear subs technology and was eager to transfer it, US is not. Only 8 billions euros out of 36 were going to France, the rest was dedicated to build subs factories in AU. Remeber F35 and Afghanistan ... And by the way, the chineese army has a really small budget compared to the US one, so what's the deal (again). Good luck AU...

    as an Australian allow me to answer, first of all when the submarine deal was first announced, tensions between Australia and China weren't high, secondly the deal was in crisis long ago, the french kept raising the price, and the first subs weren't even due til 2050, and a big part of the plan was that it would be built in Australia but even that's looked like it wasnt gonna work, there was talk about a year ago to buy german subs instead, but then the US offered their technology to the Australia for a cheaper price u cant say no to that

At the same time, Australia's SSN support infrastructure can be developed and proven. Which ever way this goes, it's going to take a long time before the RAN has its own fleet.

    The French Barracuda class submarine is originally a nuclear-powered vessel. Australia has uranium but doesn't have a nuclear industry like France, England, and the US. To operate a nuclear-powered submarine you need to have access to a nuclear power source. For that reason, the Australian government asked France to modify the submarines and fit them with diesel engines. If Australia wanted a better range they could have asked France to build the submarine with nuclear engines. The reason for the Australian government to cancel the french deal and have the subs built by the US is purely strategic. Getting closer to the US and therefore being protected by them is vital especially if China is becoming increasingly ambitious in the pacific region.

Besides Russian Boats are quieter and can handle greater depths and manage Artic Tundra and ICE due to their Double Hull design. I may be wrong on Borei as I think it is an SSBN not an SSN.

    @@chairde I’d love to, especially when when our Australian friends find out what the bill for these subs is going to be. Scott Morrison has signed off a blank cheque for UK/US Defence contractors. There was no mention of cost cost caps at the announcement , no other bidders involved, paving the way for the invoice to be whatever the contractors want it to be. Mark my words, the French Deal will look like a relative bargain next to this. What the Australian govt should have done is agree to open a bidding process and allow Us and UK contractors (and maybe even French ones for that matter) to offer tenders for competing nuclear sub designs based on their own latest gen submarines. Then RAN could set out its design and capability requirements and set out its pricing framework well in advance and then select a winner and proceed having come to an agreement on her terms. What will happen now is that a consortium of Uk and US contractors will present a design or a number of designs to the RAN which will guarantee the respective contractors secure as much revenue stream as possible and look after their own interests. Because it would be a closed process, there will be little incentive to drive down costs for the contractors and Australia will end up paying a premium (to put it mildly) for its nuclear subs……

However almost all English speaking medias translate "coup" as "stab", which is wrong. In this context, "coup" peut être traduit par blow, punch, trick BUT IN NO CASE BY STAB. A stab is a KNIFE BLOW. There is NO mention of a knife in the French minister's speech. It is not difficult to understand why the English speaking medias are spreading intentionally an erroneous translation: this is just another trick in our back. 2) The French submarines ARE nuclear_powered; it was the Aussie govt request to de-nuclearise them !

    Australian sub contract with France was a on job from the start. Firstly Aust. Politicians wanted a conventional sub to please the Greens party and to prop up Liberal politicians seats in South Australia. They wanted a bit of everything - it was a dud. They were supposed to be 90% made in South Australia using French technology. 2) the French sales team said they could do it - convert Nuclear powered subs to diesel. They promptly went back to France and said that the subs were being made there and it would create 4,000 jobs. 3) Aust. Content shrank from 90% down to 10%. 4) After 7 years nothing had been done but French wanted $7 billion for the blueprint. 5) the cost escalated from $47 billion to $90 billion with an estimated lifelong cost in excess of $300 billion. 6) New Australian Govt decided to cancel the contract for poor performance ( no performance) and go Nuclear powered instead. 7) the more France gets its knickers in a twist the more it advertises its POOR PERFORMANCE. 8). Thank you China for your bullying threats and France like attitudes - you pushed Australia into AUKUS and these upgraded subs.

The French failed - repeatedly - to meet any of the contractual obligations they had with Australia on this submarine program. Point blank reneged on most of them because they were so confident we had no alternative. It should have been ended a year or two ago just based on that but wasn't because nuclear subs weren't an option then. Also French nuclear subs are not an option because they require refuelling every 10 years which requires a nuclear industry Australia doesn't have - and which the UK and USA subs don't require.

    The australia betrayal was the wrong decision on every level. If the Australians were unhappy with the original deal, they could have upgraded the deal to air-independent submarines for submerged endurance. Air-independent submarines can stay submerged for weeks at a time, making them very similar to nuclear powered submarines. That upgrade would give them the underwater endurance that they seem now to want, and there would be no question of any nuclear technology being spread, and you would maintain the deal with France.

Facts are the UK sees Australia as it number 1 allie, Australia's number 1 allie is the UK. It's not widely known but if there's a nuclear attack on the UK & everything is wiped out. All Naval assets that aren't effected hand themselves over to the Australian Navy to Serve with them under the Australian Naval command. Australia will be still the UK' S number 1 allie long after the submarines are retired off regardless of how things turn out. You can't change absolute fact. Australia will be the next nuclear armed country whether we get to know about it or not. That is just my opinion about the nuclear armed but if you've got the hi tech nuclear military grade know how, along with nuclear powered subs. These subs will be armed with nuclear tipped ballistic missiles like all nuke subs are. So effectively the Australian Navy will be a nuclear armed Navy. Not a great idea if you ask me but we've been lead by psychopaths for centuries, what else can we expect from these idiots.
