That is reality that IN is much larger in fleet size.But do not frget they have to keep their presence in two oceans while PN is concentrating only in Arabian sea.Even in a war situation IN can not leave one side empty.
Quality wise IN is buyer of nearly same sources from which PN purchase.Maily UK, France,Germany, USA.Only one supplier is different Russia and China.
So if any one thinks IN is quality wise far sperior to PN, will be in deep sleep
partially true
but IN will soon have SSNs > 2 akulas and 1 arihant.

but question is does pak integrate Israel made weapons in its warships like Barack 2?
does pak has stealth ships like shivalik?
plus majority of PN destroyers are destroyer frigate weighing 3500 to 4000 tons while all destroyers of IN are large destroyers weighing 6000 tons+.
IN destroyers can carry more weapons as they are larger
then again we have AC and 2 more are coming
