1. competitors to the West. They are North Korea, China, Russia and Iran.
: it is assumed North Korea is using old Russian propulsion designs
: China is happily buying MTU 396 and MTU 4000 submarine engines and building
MTU 4000 factories with European and UK (Rolls-Royce) help

: Russia seems to design and build its own diesels and motors, but, if its smart, it
should gain inspiration from any MTU/MAN designs and hardware available
: Iran, with its 3 older Russian built Kilo 877s would very likely rely on Russian
propulsion

Nothing in your links suggests they are building submarine engine varients. I would suggest they may be buying those direct from Germany.
