The Russians are still building Kilos for themselves and Vietnam and probably Venezuela, so they won’t be rust-buckets.
However, the largest export user of the Kilo is China (about 12 boats) and Russia wants to sell more toys to Beijing, so a sale to Taiwan is a non-starter.

That would definitely put the K’bosh on the idea. Thanks for the info.
