Pakistan should get out of its thinking that someone is out there, to. Every country has its interest 1st.The chinese , the US , the old famous "6th fleet " have been around before and i don't think it helped much . The Chinese know extremely well what is in there OWN interest and they have always acted accordingly.With the ever integrating economic interests of both china and india between themselves and the global economy, i doubt if both want their maritime trade fiddled around with.mysterious said:... And did I mention that the Chinese Navy vessels would also be there in the Arabian Sea (thnx to Gwadar).

i think u mention the items are not nough for a country like India which is very big and if war brokes out India will not put all of its naval material to Pakistan.in war India will put 60% to 65% naval material to Pakistan bcoz rest will safe gaurd its eastern front.you have described about 20 to 22 coast gaurd boats then friend these boats are not used in a war but they will only do some defense of their coastal lines.
Aussie i agree with you here, Pak navy has traditionally used its lethal Offensive arm the Subs to counter INNavy vessels. i guess the best defence is Offense here, since Pak navy is smaller in numbers and resources they may have a problem with prolonged stand offs. Leaving PAK NAvy in a defensive position would mean that IN.NAVAY would be able to choose the time and place of attack on Pak Navy assets, surgically destroying Pak defenses Bit by bit. Something like a traditional Hit and Run strategy of the English Navy against the Spaniard Naval forces (history)Aussie Digger said:The Pak Navy would be used offensively AND defensively in a war with India I should imagine. Employing their assets defensively only would be rather similar to a boxer trying to fight with one arm tied behind his back...
Uve rally done your homework but please let me be cruel enough to nitpick some mistakes.lalith prasad said:india will also have amurs,p15a bangalore(atleast3) p17nilagiris(atleast6),3 lst(l) 12 mcvs, 20 gun craft (coast guard) atleast 2 additional krivaks,p28a(atleast6).so indian navy definitely will be beefed up.as of now pakistan may acquire 6 f22s and 6 lutas.these by no means would match india in an offensive capabilities added to it 24(+36)mig29ks,8-10orions,4 tu22m3sand alhs.pakistan cannot afford to use its navy in a defensive mode alone india will have upper advantage.so pakistan will have to use its navy in a defensive mode with its airforce.this will inturn releive some preasure from the iaf.so if pakistani navy doesnt want to be left behind it will have to go for some capital equipments like daring destroyers and lafayette frigates.song and ming clas subs no matter how much upgraded are no match for scorpenes ,amurs ,agustas,and t636kilos.my sources for this informartion is a janes article recently posted in br forum (naval discussion) and www.armedforces.nic.in and www.bharat-rakshak.com.warships of the world.com,globalsecurity and fas.org.
