Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

War is not going to happen unless pakistan tries another adventure.

If you call war for independence of Kashmir then yes, prepare yourself.

So? your point? looks like you are an idiot in this knowledge at least. A plus here and a minus there both class give a similar punch.one has french MESMA based AIP the other has a german fuel cell AIP. More than that the CO/XO matter most.Remember your fat submarine we detected earlier this year? i wonder where its cap is flipping burgers these days.


do you really believe you can block our water? do you want to get J&k inundated?

I thought Pakistan already crying That India for blocking Pakistan water

You thought this, you thought that...
Think whatever helps you sleep at night , jerking yourself off should be done in moderation.

Thats not my job. It comes under our security forces duty.I think they are doing their job.

 

[Maarkhoor]

I think our security forces r doing their job.

Not enough, blockade of sea ports and water could put pressure on us and gave us a chance to launch an attack which is the need of the time.

Our security forces r always reactive. Dont expect anything new from them. It is upto your government to initiate next war if you want war badly.

There is a difference between 'being ready for a war' and 'a war'. And Kargil was not a full fledged war. Pakistan claims that Kargil was not done by Pakistan's army but by Jihadis. But I am sure if Kargil would have gone by few more days, India would have imposed a naval blockade. As I said India spends considerable amount of money on its Navy, so there is no reason to think that India will not use its navy when it is needed.

And you think Pakistan is sleeping and don't know what it's enemy can do and desire??

Currently Pakistan can give bloody response to any blockade attempt by India as doctrine of Sea Control is more difficult to implement then doctrine of Area Denial at sea.

We saw what happened to Karachi Port / Oil reserves etc. in 1971,
So there are assumptions / dreams and one piece of reality (1971)/ hardfacts,

Moreover, Pak had better equipments stronger all (US + China) at that time, Its fairly easy to predict outcome this time

In 1971 PN didn't had any kind of AShMs and air defense was very limited based on some AAAs now (officially announced range) PN can hit targets at 240-280kms from shore based defense systems, same systems are now on FACs too so now with out other assets PN can cover it's EEZ, if you bring Sea King/Z-9 helis, P-3s/Other MPAs with AShMs/torpedoes this capability increase many folds, now add F-22Ps and subs to that equation which will have longer range and better endurance, so in NCW environment PN can hold against any blockade put today by IN although in full blown war PN may get huge loses but that could trigger use of TNWs in numbers and IN may not want to escalate situation to that level.

Yes, you will counter attack...that is why it is called war. What I am saying don't assume Indian Navy will be sitting idle at ports while a war is going on between India and Pakistan.

During 2002 IN was very active and PN and PAF were ordered to be war ready so we don't underestimate our enemy as most Indians do.

 

[El Sidd]

I don't know.

Ask Yemen Oman and Iran.

 

[Zarvan]

In my opinion quite possibly yes

 

[BATMAN]

If India block Pakistani ports, than it will loose its largest market which is Pakistan.
India will also loose subsidized transit, which it enjoy with co-operation of govt. of Sindh and NWFP.
I doubt Indian policy makers would think of such stupid stunt.

We don't underestimate the enemy. Do you think India spends more on its Navy than the total defense budget of Pakistan just for fun? Do you think India spends building ACs, hundreds of Destroyers, frigates and corvettes, submarines (both nuclear and conventional), missiles and 100's of fighter planes just for keeping them in museum, and maintain one of the largest navies in the world for fun? Obviously, they are for the enemies.

 

[El Sidd]

My question is.

Will a naval blockade achieve its target or just a costly adventure gone wrong for India.

Will make a good YouTube video
