Hi,
I know what i am about to say might strike weird to some people but i don't get it when we cant cant afford to buy some equipment then why don't we shed this traditional approach as well instead of going with some thing which is far inferior to the potential threat, i mean if Pakistan cannot have 5 th generation fighter jets then why not try to make air defenses fools proof and that is not a bigger deal given the way Pakistan has developed some good long range ballistic missiles, so if we cannot afford to have an AC or advanced submarines, frigates, destroyers then why not adopt a strategy which would ensure some strong defense i mean why can't Pakistan try to procure DF-21 Anti Ship Ballistic Missile from China which has a range of 3000 Km i bet even the American carriers would think twice before venturing into Pakistan's territorial waters if Pakistan has any such capability, so what im trying to say here he is that if India goes for some thing why is it a pre-requisite for us to do the same why cant we go towards some innovative strategies
Your ideas are valid. But the approach is a little out of place. 5th gen fighters are stealth, detecting them would be tough and destroying them with a ground based missile would be tougher.
Regarding the anti-ship missile, no country signatory to MCTR can exchange missile technology with another country with a range of over 300 km. So no exchange of missile or missile tech.
As it is ballistic missiles are not good against ships. Cruise missiles are way better.
Pakistan doesn't need an aircraft carrier and cannot afford one before 2030 at least. And the first carrier would be a chinese carrier for sure.
