lets not count will be..seeinghow "will be" is turnig out in india
there is no competition between PN and IN ..IN clearly outnumbers PN because IN coast is 12-15X bigger then PN
PN will employ land based anti ship missles and multiple smaller fast attack aircrafts..
few p-8 wont do good for such a large target (IN coast) and such a large numbers of subs..
india would need 20-25+ to get into buisness
PN doesnt want to operate jets, unlike india we have single command/joint chief, all three services work in sync so this will never happen, instead PAF will increase its size if needs be, Jf-17 is already been optimized with two standarad load of 2 antisip, 2 BVR and 2WVR
