Well just a broken window can be easily fixed this will be easily fixed too.
No major Damage to the frigate other than requiring a new mast, weapons systems unharmed, hull also escaped damage as it fell on sift partly flooded ground.

ISI and Pakistan is behind this

Nope, for that,first it has to learn how a dock works. Purchasing second hand frigates doesn't help.

We build that ship, what makes you believe we can't repair it?

It's not the question of salvaging or repairing it rather the awesome ability to do a somersault with one.

Even building one requires awesome ability, try visiting some Chinese docks once, you won't find such awesomeness in Karachi dock.(apart from what happened during '72, that was a awesome site indeed).

Why don't you guys write a letter to IN to stop embarrassing you guys once every while on Pakistani defence forums?

IN has done a lot to make us proud, the recent minor incidents does not dent our confidence. Now please don't ask as to how IN has made us proud, or you will be embarrassed.

Accidents do happen in every navy
All the accidents mentioned above except the sindurakshak and betwa are minor fires or collisions in the busy Mumbai harbour
It's just the fact that our trp hungry media report each and every incidents whereas it might not be even reported elsewhere
For pn it's much worse you guys must first have a proper navy for anything to happen in the first place the ships you have are all second hand rust baskets.

I have a theory: Indian navy main recruitment Pakistan police ki tarah rishwat aur sifarish par horahi hogi, jabhi yeh haal hai inka.

If corruption in recruitment was the cause here

Then Indian navy would have endured attacks like PNS Mehran

Where a corrupt insider sold off the lives of his colleagues


Naval base raid: Finally, report admits inside job in Mehran attack
Published: June 30, 2011

Standing Committee on Defence told that evidence of “inside help” has been found in the PNS Mehran Base attack.

ISLAMABAD:
It took more than a month after heavily-armed terrorists mounted a brazen attack on Pakistan’s biggest naval airbase in Karachi, but investigators have finally concluded that the attackers had support from within the Pakistan Navy.

The terrorists sneaked into Pakistan Navy’s airbase PNS Mehran on May 22, destroying two P3-C Orion surveillance aircraft and holding off military commandos for 15 hours before they were killed in a final predawn assault the next morning. At least 10 security personnel were killed in the attack.

According to a preliminary investigation report tabled before the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence on Wednesday, some navy officials were in custody for questioning over their possible links with the attackers.

Senior officials briefed the committee about the investigations into the PNS Mehran attack – one of the most potent terrorist attacks on the country’s security installations.

The briefing was confidential, but some participants speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed that the navy officials admitted that the terrorists received help from people working at the airbase.

The report indicates that some people had conducted reconnaissance of the base before the attack. It also points out that closed-circuit TV cameras installed at the base were not working, making it easier for the attackers to slip through.

However, navy officials would not comment on the report. Briefing reporters after the meeting, Dr Azhra Fazal Pechuhu, head of the defence committee, said that the naval authorities had completed their internal investigations into the PNS Mehran attack.

“According to investigations, four terrorists were involved in the attack,” she said, adding that the mastermind would be brought to book after the completion of the probe.

She said the investigators were now looking into the external aspects of the probe where they would also try to ascertain if there was any foreign hand involved.

The May 22 attack on the well-guarded base raised questions about the ability of the security forces to protect their key installations from terrorist raids. And security analysts said it wasn’t possible for terrorists to launch such an attack without inside help.

Despite the briefing, committee members from the PML-N expressed dissatisfaction over the findings of the report. “What we have been told is nothing new as lots of information has already appeared in the media,” said an opposition member, who requested not to be named.

Being frivolous does make one living in oblivion, certainly your history has a somewhat sinking feeling, progress is not running back in time aka 1971 and not '72 as you put it else events surrounding Kukri are also historical and awesome as well.

Yes but in 1971 in the hands of Indian navy Pakistan navy suffered the most humiliating defeat for any navy since world war 2 and that record still stands today.
And now in the present pn is not anywhere capable of dealing with IN alone

Well the million dollar question is if IN actually would bring her aircraft carrier in open waters if there is any war...DF21 would be ready to receive you...don't worry.
