In a full-blown war with India sinking the INS Vikrant should be top priority

[Cobra Arbok]

If full blown war happened, one nuclear anti-ship missile would destroy the Indian aircraft carrier and whatever ships with it. Even with only a few kilotons of TNT equivalent.

But would Pak really be willing to escalate it to the point of using a nuclear missilie against a warship, knowing we can do the same and more? The real question here is who will be willing to escalate and how much. I think Imran Khan knows very well that further escalation will lead to a point that Pakistan cannot handle physically, economically, or politically, which is why Imran Khan has been the most proactive in promoting peace, especially as India was mobilizing the full force of its military right next to Pak. Which is a good thing of course.
