According to Baijiahao, the Chinese military was amazed by the high quality and outstanding characteristics of the Russian Project 877 "Paltus" submarines after they entered service with China.
The submarine turned out to be extremely easy to operate, and it was also unexpectedly quiet compared to Chinese ships.
As the publication notes, China faced the need to create means to combat American submarines, including silent submarines. In this regard, it was decided to purchase such vessels abroad. After a thorough analysis of various proposals, the Russian Project 877 "Paltus" was selected.
It is noted that the Chinese military, finding themselves on a Russian submarine, were shocked, as pessimistic expectations from the submarine were not justified.
