Pakistan has AIP subs, Akula will never hear what hit em.
SSKs are quieter than SSNs
only when they are lying in wait with their Engines shut off. In normal condition SSNs are quieter than SSKs. So unless you have a premonition about location of a SSN, you could not use a SSK to hunt it down.
You seem to have a very little idea about how ASW works. Submarines are rarely ,if ever, used to hunt down other submarines. Only exception is SSNs and SSBNs as only SSN has range to hunt down a SSN or SSBN. ASW is primarily responsibility of Surface ASW ships , ASW choppers , and planes like P-3C orion with you or P8-I and Tupelov with India.SSKs only complement them.
Primary job of SSKs is to lie in wait around enemy's harbour and trade route in order to sink enemy's shipping. They are incapable of giving a chase to surface ships like a SSN could do , or to reposition themselves swiftly if they want to move to another location.
And AIP is not a magic tech. Maximum speed possible under AIP mode of navigation is around 5 Knots, which is equivalent to 9Km/hr. This is walking speed. Unless your quarry is stupid enough to stumble into your path, it is all but useless. Forget about hunting down a SSN with thrice your speed.
Besides entering our SEZ and targeting our navy = an act of war.
Targeting your navy = Act of war.
Entering your SEZ ≠ Act of war.
IN enters your SEZ on weekly basis. You seem to be having a very poor grasp on international law.
Feel free to live in that fantasy, Pakistan won't allow an Indian pipe within an inch of our SEZ. Any such attempt will be dealt with as a military threat.
What ever I have stated is 100% correct. It is your lack of capability or daftness because of which you could not understand international law or meaning of a simple term.
EEZ ≠ Territorial water.
Your territory only extends 12 nautical miles out to sea. EEZ is part of international water where you have been granted exclusive right to
only exploit Natural resources. You are explicitly forbidden from interfering with freedom of Navigation,overflight, and with laying down of Submarine cables or Pipelines.
And FYI, Submarine pipelines have noting to do with EEZ. EEZ is regarding surface while piplelines are undersea. Pipelines are guided by chapter VI of UNCLOS ,not Chapter V.
The maximum extent of continental shelf over which you have economic right is either 350 nautical miles, 100 miles from 2500m isobath, having sediment thickness of 1% from shortest distance from foot; whichever is lowest.
All States are entitled to lay submarine cables and pipelines on the continental shelf, in accordance with the provisions of this article.
Source:Article 79; Part VI; Official treaty document of UNCLOS.
So there is no
legal way by which you could
prevent India from laying down pipeline through your EEZ/Continental shelf. You certainly has option of going to war for which you would have zero international support, against a country whose Navy would smash your Navy within a day.
India may not use your EEZ for technical reasons as Submarine plateau and abyssal plains are preferred for laying down pipelines,and for having a pipeline out of your Navy's reach during war, but if it wants to, you could not do anything about it except demanding that India submit detailed map of pipeline route to you.
