unrivalled because no one had a sub in the region... compare that to most modern PN got against IN, y'all are lagging behind....
we wanted underwater capability to protect our national interest... we don't want our economy to falter from sea blockade by whichever nation choses to place one in the future...
and is it a sin ti buy the subs so late? your question has no logic.... it if did i would have asked you... why did pakistan attain nnuclear bombs in the 90s why so late... why not right after america had attained em...
Please be on topic, as for sub force Pakistani 90Bs were first to have AIP system in South Asia, they are only behind the IN new Scorpions and going through Mid Life Upgrade as we speak now, all 5 subs can fire AShM missiles (including older A-70s). Still 90Bs can give run for their money to best MPA of IN that is P-8Is, while now they can fire SLCMs upto 450kms.
As for nukes we only announced it in 1998, while had capability since 80s with in 10 years of India's first nuclear test and that is not late. Please use google to confirm.
