I think u got me wrong. I was only saying that if Pakistan spent more money getting to the right areas they'd be better off. Same applies for India. So, it's not all bad.

I am not an expert but I disagree with the quality associated with China and Russia.

Canada has a quality of 85% which is also very starnge because Canada has very old fleet and they are in the process of modernization.

Pakistan, Iran and India are in very hostile neighbourhood but their quality is in 60s. These countries are always on watch and their navies definetly maintain and carry quality far more than the 60s.

Heavily pro Western analysis.

I think Pakistan is not exactly a developed country either. Nor are the poverty levels significantly lower than India's.

Just as true comparison of the economy is not GDP per Capita but GDP on Purcahsing Power Parity per Capita. Similarly, capability of the navy should not be based upon tonnage or number of vessels but its ability to perform the task assigned to it. Size of the Navy would depend upon:

1. Size of the coast line to defend
2. Number of sea lanes which needed t be kept clear/
3. Role of the Navy. That is, whether purely national defense or also the projection of power far beyond the national landmass.

Colonial powers in the past needed large navies to safeguard their interests in far away places. That is why historically UK with the largest colonial empire had the largest Navy in the world. Some trading empire such as Venetian empire was purely based on naval power.

It is therefore immaterial where Pakistan Navy is ranked in the world in terms of number of ships and tonnage. Key question will remain “Is PN capable of defending our coast line and keeping the sea lanes clear during the time of war?” Our threat is mainly from India and we need to ensure that our navy has adequate assets to perform these tasks. Whether this is thru submarines, surface vessels, missile boats, aircrafts or a combination of the above is irrelevant. For example, Israeli navy is tiny but more than enough to defend Israel’s tiny coast line.
