These French-Made Pakistani Missiles Could Sink an Aircraft Carrier

Yes.... if you want to sink aircraft carrier then single Harpoon or Exocet won't be enough.... only Bramhos has that capability....
Cm 400akg also has that ability. Naval babur and Raad 2 can also be used
 
Any AD can be defeated using equipment with proper tactics, a saturated attack of different type of AShMs can defeat IN CBG AD also CM-400AKG have added very good capability to already capable AShMs of Pakistani military.

Hi,

Number of AShM's targeted at a ship are very important---.
 
With the close relationship of the french with India, I fear another Falkland. What say you?
No worst than if that happens 5-6 Indian ships would be destroyed
Remember Iran and Iraq war where dozens of ships were destroyed by both forces
 
With the close relationship of the french with India, I fear another Falkland. What say you?
what incident are you referring to? remember what John Nott secretary of defense said about the French "duplicitous", and "always have been"

Thatcher 'threatened to nuke Argentina'
22/Nov/2015

Margaret Thatcher forced François Mitterrand to give her the codes to disable Argentina’s deadly French-made missiles during the Falklands war by threatening to launch a nuclear warhead against Buenos Aires, according to a book.

Margaret Thatcher forced François Mitterrand to give her the codes to disable Argentina's deadly French-made missiles during the Falklands war by threatening to launch a nuclear warhead against Buenos Aires, according to a book.

Rendez-vous - the psychoanalysis of François Mitterrand, by Ali Magoudi, who met the late French president up to twice a week in secrecy at his Paris practice from 1982 to 1984, also reveals that Mr Mitterrand believed he would get his "revenge" by building a tunnel under the Channel which would forever destroy Britain's island status.

The book, to be published on Friday, is one of several on France's first Socialist president to mark the 10th anniversary of his death on January 8 1996. Despite a now tarnished reputation, he remains a source of fascination for the French in general and the left in particular. Rendez-vous provides revealing insights into the man's mysterious character, complicated past, paranoia and power complex, but nothing as titillating as his remarks on the former British prime minister.

"Excuse me. I had a difference to settle with the Iron Lady. That Thatcher, what an impossible woman!" the president said as he arrived, more than 45 minutes late, on May 7 1982. "With her four nuclear submarines in the south Atlantic, she's threatening to unleash an atomic weapon against Argentina if I don't provide her with the secret codes that will make the missiles we sold the Argentinians deaf and blind." He reminded Mr Magoudi that on May 4 an Exocet missile had struck HMS Sheffield. "To make matters worse, it was fired from a Super-Etendard jet," he said. "All the matériel was French!"

In words that the psychoanalyst has sworn to the publisher, Meren Sell, are genuine, the president continued: "She's livid. She blames me personally for this new Trafalgar ... I was obliged to give in. She's got them now, the codes."

Mr Mitterrand - who once described Mrs Thatcher as "the eyes of Caligula and the mouth of Marilyn Monroe" - went on: "One cannot win against the insular syndrome of an unbridled Englishwoman. Provoke a nuclear war for a few islands inhabited by three sheep as hairy as they are freezing! But it's a good job I gave way. Otherwise, I assure you, the Lady's metallic finger would have hit the button."

France, he insisted, would have the last word. "I'll build a tunnel under the Channel. I'll succeed where Napoleon III failed. And do you know why she'll accept my tunnel? I'll flatter her shopkeeper's spirit. I'll tell her it won't cost the Crown a penny."

at the time the French assured the British their full support, a team of French Engineers were in Argentina at the time of war making sure that the Exocet are ready to used in war :-), hence the statement by John Nott....
