I've just read the latest report from the CRS, here:
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/RL34187.pdf, and in it, it claims that along with the upgrading of 5 Type 209s which Brazil owns, Brazil in 2006, and i quote "signed for licensed production of a Type ILK 214 submarine".
To me, if this is true, it sheds a bit of light on the so-called 'indigenous' nuclear submarine that Brazil has said it will make.
What does everyone think?

Well it makes sense that after Greece and South Korea Brazil starts producing locally Type 214s SSKs. It is historically one of the largest operators of German subs.
Besides HDW needs some more good news while the confusion on the problems of Greek U214 first of class continues...

Interestingly, all German sources i can find on this (online) refer to just that CRS report again.
