Pakistan is already getting the SSKs from China as our Admiral pointed out. Probably Song class which none the less is amazing, and with AIP, even more deadly.
But you can't build a conventional sub in case of Ballistic missiles for which you need bigger hulls and hence more propulsion which only nuclear reactors can provide.
Pakistan will have it's hunter-killer SSKs but one Ballistic missile Sub might be needed as currently Army and Airforce are both having Strategic strike capability but the Navy is lacking this.
Plus Harpoon and Exocets are not enough for long range attack.
You missed my point. I am saying Pakistan isnt playing a i match you now you match me game because financially they can't instead it is a i find a defensive cost effective solution to whatever you induct. But sure if Pakistan is able to find the funds for strategic nuclear subs then go for it. I don't see it happening now. You could also make the argument Pakistan would need a small aircraft carrier.
