Dude.. there's something you need to understand.. NCW needs lots of resources from space,air,land and sea...and in quality and quantity Pakistan doesn't have them..
All those UAV and UCAV's can do little in the land war but not in the ocean where CBG is based 500km away from your shore. One best thing you've is those AShM.. forget about the ones in the land becasue they won't do the job.. CBG is not going to come in its rang.. and if our ships plans to assault the shore/port.. IAG/IN fighter will be asked to clear them.. and this is one of the main reason IAF is dying to induct the Rafael,Mki's can do the same job but its rcs is huge.
So you're left with fighter to bring the AShM's.. for that a figher needs to come near the cbg.. you need to cross the Migs layer then the carriers escorts.. we've tested the Barak-8 against brahMos.. It's not easy to hit a carrier
Theoretically PN can hit upto 400kms from shore based systems with C-602s, but one must remember that IN will be operating far from their shores so will require more assets to be operational, PN & PAF know their weak spots in case of war with India but their doctrine is sea denial not sea control which could be done with lesser force but it should be well equipped and trained and have good strategies / plans to implement.
The purchase of new subs, ships with MR/LR SAMs (Frigates, Cutters, Corvettes), MPAs, MBs, JF-17s with variety of AShM, Su-35 class jets are done as per required doctrine. Whereas ship and land based UAVs are also deployed while more advance MALE UAVs / UCAVs are coming, PN is also working on UUVs and in future UUAVs will be there too. This is biggest expression in history of PN and it will continue in coming future as role has changed and it requires more assets.
