Convergence of the US and Indian Strategic Interests vis-a-vis China

[faithfulguy]

There is a huge focus on IN's build up. 200 ships by 2027, 6 SSNs, 5 SSBNs etc. It's similar to or larger than what the PLAN is today.

Turkey is a NATO country. So it will be forced to contest space with Russia. There is no alternative irrespective of the Syrian situation.

Turkey is not a blue water navy and that's not their objective either. They won't contest any space in IOR against India. The same with PN. Both will be green water navies at best even if allowed to build up for 20+ years. All that both countries will have is some frigates, some diesel-electric submarines etc. Not enough to contest any major navy.

By 2040 or so, the only big naval players will be the USN, PLAN and IN. All others will be too small.

By 2027, will Indians like you stop bragging. The current Indian sub is a tech demostrator. India will only have at most 3 SSBN and 3 carrier. Remember that India has low manufacturing capability and it has no plans to acquire them as India is focus on high tech and bypass manufacturing.

Exactly, bragging is Hindu RSS middle name, currectly we are building whole India navy fleet every 2.5 years

Once I heard some one saying China needs Pakistan to be strong than any country for it's own safety and China will do any thing to make Pakistan strong.

Very true, a strong and prosperous Pakistan is in China's best interests
