They dont need to. Our Western fleet is ALL it takes plus a lot more to take down PN completely. Not to mention, here is when the SethuSamudram project shows its true colour. It reduces the fleet reunification time b/w the Eastern and Western fleet in any of the two seas by 50% !IN will not deploy all her ships in Arabia Sea to fight Pakistan, even at 50% you'll become vulnerable for retalliation from China on your eastern shores.
AND ROFL @ attack from China. No chance in hell they are EVER going to come to fight India over Pakistan. And FYI, that is the reason we want a carrier on both the fleets
Doood!!ASW happens to be one of our specialities aswell, the Orions have the range and equippement to hold IN back.
The orions alone aint gonna do $hit. They are good when they have backing from a surface fleet, a huge naval aviation fleet. Otherwise the IN will be shooting down those Orions.
Actually i was talking about ASW without counting LRMP's! Hell i was talking about our frigates and corvettes specially designed for ASW! DRDO developed sonars are one of the finest ones!
But If you count that, then consider this--> 8 Boeing P-8I's are going to be bought soon. Quite out of the league of the Orions i'd say.
And it doesnt matter if PN is good in ASW or not. Cuz IN is not dependent on its subs. Subs form a small part of the overall punch of the IN, whereas subs are the ONLY credible weapon PN have. It matters whether we are good at it or not.
LOL. Understatement of the century.Again I donot underestimate IN's power, she will give us real hard time.
And you think you will obliterate the IN while they are all in the dock waiting for war to happen?!?!?!?!!And our doctrine is based around quick retalliation and even first strike with accurate missiles.
All western naval bases are well in range of our conventional missiles, Babur LACM is feared within IN as you lack detection at this point.
Even before the war starts officially, the Western fleet will all be deployed in the Arabian Sea, you arent gonna find a stinking patrol boat resting in the naval bases. And you think LACM is gonna strike ships in sea?
The only thing strikes at the bases would do is scuttle the further ship building capacity. Then again, our ships are build all over the country, not only in a couple of docks on teh western coast.
Wait and watch. It would be a blitzkreig. All the surface combatants of PN would be destroyed in a couple of days. Only the threat of subs would remain.Remember, any future full scale war will be decided within days, thats why we're both nuclear powers.
IN can not achieve the goals you described within days...
But that is MORE than sufficient to effect a blockade.
