대만의 잠수함 구입사업(가격이 문제?)

과거부터 쭉 제기 되어왔던 문제입니다만 대만이 미국으로 부터 구입할 잠수함의 가격이 너무 비싸다는 생각입니다. 대충 요약하면 8척의 디젤 잠수함 가격이 2000톤 이하의 독일 U-212/214-class는 118억 달러, 약3000톤의 Australian Collins-class SSK급은 147억 달러 정도 될것이라고 하는군요 더구나 2013년 이전에는 대만에 잠수함이 인도되기 어렵다는 말과함께... 미국은 40년 동안 디젤 잠수함을 건조하지 않았기 때문에 다른 나라에 위탁건조 시킬 수 밖에 없는 입장인데 혹시 우리나라가(가능성 2% + a..... 척당 15억~18억 달러라고 하면 아무리 2013년 이후라고 하지만 잠수함가격이 너무 비싸다는 생각이 드는군요 참고로 우리나라의 잠수함 획득가격이 209급 잠수함 : 1,900억원, 214급 잠수함 : 3,600억원 정도 되는 걸로 알고 있는데 10년 뒤라면 우리도 이정도 가격을 주고 획득하게 될까요? 울며겨자 먹기로 이 가격에도 사야만 하는 대만이 불쌍한 겁니까? 아니면 우리나라가 행복(?)한 겁니까? <a href="http://www.strategypage.com/fyeo/howtomakewar/default.asp?target=htproc.htm" target=nlink>http://www.strategypage.com/fyeo/howtomakewar/default.asp?target=htproc.htm</a> PROCUREMENT: Taiwan's Submarine Buying Woes November 1, 2003: Taiwan’s desire to update its submarine fleet keeps running aground. Taipei has for several years been involved in what the US Navy unofficially calls a “Thrashex.” Taipei has recently been reported, upon advice from the US, to be looking to buy slightly used subs from European countries since having new one built keeps running up against problems. The US has been out of the diesel-electric sub building business for 40 years, and European producers cringe before the image of an angry Peoples Republic of China coming after them. Word coming from Taiwan now indicates that, to make matters even more difficult, the projected costs announced by the navy are much higher than anticipated and may exceed the military's total budget for new weapons systems. "We do not know what type of submarine the US will offer us. We have to admit that the process is not progressing smoothly," said a Taiwan Navy official. Initial estimates by the navy indicate that it would need at least $ 11.8 billion to buy eight conventional submarines from the US, a figure much higher than that previously reported. The costs are said to increase to $ 14.7 billion if the submarines the US offers of “a more advanced type,” although all subs being considered are roughly equivalent. The $11.8 billion estimate is for submarines displacing under 2,000 tons, such as the German U-212/214-class, while the $14.7 billion estimate is applicable to a submarine of around 3,000 ton displacement, such as the Australian Collins-class SSK. The navy could also accept smaller submarines with tonnages between 1,500 and 2,000. The navy reportedly would not consider buying smaller submarines, which it regards as “toys.” The US was set to send a delegation to Taiwan by the end of the year to report on what type of submarine it could procure for Taipei. Despite being unclear on the type of submarine the US will select for Taiwan, the first of the eight non-nuclear powered submarines will not be delivered before 2013, leaving Taiwan with two 1980s Zwaardvis-class Dutch submarines and two ancient ex-US Guppy-II subs from the 1950s. This latest estimate leaves Taiwan short of money since the current estimated special budget for new weapons systems over the next 10 years is $ 15.3 billion. -- K.B. Sherman
