What the heck dude PN does not even has ships more than Indian coast guard please look at the number of ships. We don't need IN dude. If we will use IN it will be a massive overkill just one or one destroyer with migs and the biggest advantage is MF-Starr which is going to secure 400 km so any movement from Pak navy and it is visible in here. one is enough. Heck even that will be overkill our coast guard's OPV's are enough to handle them. Lol Seriously1- For IN, as for now its about configuration and the munitions that the aircraft is going to carry.
2- It makes sense that they don't.
3- Vintage? Pakistani Orion's MAD instrument and modernization with Hawkeye 2000 AEW system will keep being a headache for Indian submarines.
4- Most forumers tend to confuse naval warfare with 'strategy games'
Of course the countries have their own choice but submarine launched nuclear missiles are generally regarded as second-strike capabilities which means let alone a nuclear attack your are talking about a nuclear retaliation after India's hit by Pakistan with nukes and his nuclear missile units are destroyed which is never going to happen so eliminate the SLBMs since when its used both India and Pakistan will burn each other. SLBMs are not weapons but a must have deterrence until WW3 is started.
So what is Pakistan, a no-mads land? Perception of ASW/MPAs are detection and reconnaissance (attack if the aircraft is armed) so they won't be flying just off the beaches. They are tasked to perform their duties hundreds of miles away.
5- Indian Navy has a significant superiority over PN and they know how to use that. But a CBG is very expensive to operate and requires vast logistic support. And seriously how do you think they are gonna;
"One Carrier Battle Group will blockade Gwadar...lets say Vikramaditya.
Second carrier Battle group will blockade Karachi INS Viraat/ ViKrant(once it is completed)..Mig 29s from Gujrat can also provide air cover/strike Karachi." ??
6- It's about budget. For India; the more you spend on the Navy more superior you'll become.
There's a reason why we humans are never and will be able to predict the progress of a battle and its results on a tactical scale. Because it's complex and a lot of factors are on display. In naval warfare the environment, training of staff, agility, strategies and many more facts are on the desk. Even one second can save an entire ship or it can cost the lives of hundreds.
So one can only be a fool to understand that IN has a massive edge over PN but don't trust yourself too much.
