THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO NEED FOR PAKISTAN TO HAVE NUCLEAR SUBMARINES. Nuclear powered subs offer range over conventional powered subs, hence they are for global power projection. Only a few select nations have/need this capability, India is one- Pakistan IS NOT. it is clear to see why India with her aspirations and military and economic might to back it up needs such vessels. However it is in no ones interest (least of all Pakistan's) for Pakistan to posses such craft just because of an inferiority complex and because "our neighbours have it". Unfortunately for Pakistan is not and never will be more than a semi-powerful regional power in the shadows of much more powerful neighbours.
Look at it this way Romania (similar GDP to Pakistan)- has no aspirations for a nuclear sub or ACC.
