The survivability of the Kilo depends on the scenario and the use of the sub. If it tries to interdict a convoy in the deep sea it will have some serious trouble (speed wise a conventional sub just isnt up to par) and if it gets close it will be detected if it has to travel fast, not to mention that it cant do that for long.
However if the Kilo could lie in wait and conduct a successful attack against one or more HVUs and then slink away in a noisy enviroment with hopefully lots of other contacts to distract the converging ASW units then it might survive.
As I said initially, it all depends on the enviroment/circumstances and that the Kilo is used to its strengths. Remember, its not a nuke and thus has to content with limited speed and range (among other things).
