Pakistan Navy really needs to step up it's A2/AD in the Persian gulf, Arabian sea And Indian Ocean. Our A2/AD capabilities even the induction of P-282 will be mediocre.
 
Hopefully it will induct the YJ-21E to fill the A2/AD requirement.
InshAllah bro. In present time the P-282 will be present a considerable threat to IN aircraft carriers. I have done a couple of scenarios If the 1000 km range turns out to be true.

If IN aircraft carriers are equipped with MIG-29K with combat radius of around 850 km:

In this hypothetical scenario I have deployed the P-282 from Ormara, Balochistan. The MIG-29K with its combat radius of 850 km without aerial refueling is well short of the range required to reach Pakistani shores. This would a crash land in the ocean or try to land at PAF airbases close to shore which would be very risky.

In the second scenario I have considered IN aircraft carriers equipped with the F/A-18 super hornet with combat radius of 950 km:

As you can see barely enough to reach Pakistani shores.

This means that, in a best-case scenario, the IN would have to park its carriers about 1000 km off of Pakistan shores to be able to target shoreline assets, which places it well within Pakistan's area-denial bubble. The minute an Indian carrier comes closer than 1000 km from Pakistani shores, the Indians run the risk of losing it to a P-282 strike.

This of course assuming that the P-282 actually has a range of 1000 km and that Pakistan can fully exploit that 1000 km range.

I also want to mention that a Indian blockade of Pakistani ports is now and will in the future be nothing more than a wet dream. If anything the Indians should worry more about losing their carriers in a future war rather than a blockade.

These planes don’t have to reach Pakistani shores, only close enough to keep the SLOCs closed and PN in port. A blockade could even be the mouth of the Red Sea, and and arc from the Yemeni/Omani border area to the Indian shore. This is why Gwadar is important, and fast freight service to the GCC helps resupply Pakistan. Building up the ports makes it in the interest of foreign shipping companies to continue to come to the ports even under a potential blockade.
