Pakistan should look into getting Submarine "launched" UAVs, and use them to guide torpedo launched SAMs. A submarine communication buoy (as seen in the last video) can be used to maintain contact with the drone, and stay deep, while still controlling the SAM through a two way datalink. Through the submarine communication buoy, the submarine can also signal headquarters that it is under attack, and to scramble any assets in the area to come to its rescue; such as other surface ships and available fighters.

Considering the Turks operate the Seahawk helicopters and their ASW equipment, they could develop a SAM (possibly based on the Hisar-O; 50,000 feet altitude and 25 km range, to best engage all kinds of threat up to and including MPA like the Indian P-8I) and Torpedo Defense that could best counter these threats.

Turkey is also considering buying the P-8 Poseidon (similar to what India operates), and so if they do, they may know how best to counter it.

Details on the P-8I that India operates

Also i hope the Turkish torpedo defense are of the Soft kill (jamming) variety as well as the hard kill type. Submarine communication buoy also shown.

The Hisar-O uses both RF for the mid-course (requiring the drone guiding it to have a small aesa radar for best results) and IR for the terminal phase to best guide itself to the target

Nice suggestion however, isn't it dangerous to release the drone as it is risky and might give away the location of the sub itself?

However, if this problem can be sorted out then the same drone can be used as a kamakzi drone programmed to hit the propeller and engine of the P8 which will cripple the P8 itself. And there is no need of SAM as SAM for sure will result in giving up the location of sub and in case of failure of SAM sub will be at mercy of P8.
 
Unless that deone has a higher speed than a 737 (highly unlikely) it cannot do what you described

If you are underwater, how are you going to locate the P8 without exposing yourself.
