We call them U209pn because in the begining of the international contest hdw presented the u209 but then to defeat the scorpene the germans changed the characteristics now we will have a true u214 AIP model similar to the greeks but a little longer i think because we put a separation in two halfs (Kursk acident inspirantion).
they will start operations in 2010 and they will be our navy best military asset and a good deterrement force in the south atlantic.
