The Pakistan Navy needs some serious firepower... Hopefully the deal for larger F-22P based frigs will materialise and they should also look for getting bigger ships like Type 54 series..
With increase in EEZ .. They navy has to expand aswell .. 8 subs,few more aircraft or another division of marine corps ... Won't cut it! Tey seriously need bigger ships.
Agreed, my friend. A nation the size of Pakistan needs to invest in a larger Navy, else the fear of being outclassed by the Indian Navy will be a reality. I say this not trying to rebuke , but offering an objective vantage point. India is to deploy 2 new carriers to their Navy, and actively building a larger surface fleet.
Pakistan needs to address this issue by building her surface fleet. I'm not saying that Pakistan needs to "equal" India's naval buildup, but Pakistan has to invest in anti submarine, anti-mining warfare, so that she can secure freedom of navigation in Pakistan' administered Indian Ocean Region.
On that note, I believe that BOTH the Pakistan and Indian Navies can cooperate for regional maritime stability. Politics, aside, my friend.
