Indian defence minister says Pakistan's submarine buying plans is not a big problem for India.

[Assault Rifle]

Q. Pakistan is on course to buy 8 diesel-electric submarines from China in what would be one of Beijing's biggest exports. How do you think it will change the dynamics in the Indian Ocean region?

A. Of course, a submarine in itself is a very powerful platform in the ocean. It may, however, not directly pose a threat to India. But it does become a weakness in your armour of controlling the ocean. We will have to match it. I do not see it as a big problem because we will have enough submarines by the time Pakistan gets these 8. By the time they get the deliveries, we can manufacture 15-20 submarines.

subs will become the biggest nightmare for CBG's, not just weakness. What is the assumed time frame of india for pak submarine acquisition. Since he is saying they will make 20 subs by that time?

Talk about contradiction.

If you read out of context then yes there is a contradiction...

IN is much bigger than PN. 8 subs is not enough to deter a blue water navy.

 

[The Huskar]

We do have need of a few dozen modern maritime surveillance aircrafts and few ASW ships if we intend to keep our edge in Indian Ocean.Hope more P-8 will be ordered beyond the original 12.

So, you have intentions of provoking?

Who says that PN will only order 8 subs? LMAO Like as if this is our last order...

Nah, you Indians are full contradictions. Nothing you can do about that. Part and parcel of your DNA.

Adhering your won stupidity to Indians DNA just shows your comprehension skills...anyways feel free to think whatever...

India problem is they can't afford deploy all submarines against us when China is roaming in or close to your borders but we can deploy all our Navy towards India

why would we deploy all submarines , we would deploy one submarine with ASW vessels.

They do that with everything. It's non of our concern, yet here we are offering you our opinion and advice.

We'll work in synch with China. No doubt.

With all due respect that might be a concern of the past....with nukes in picture this is a remote picture...i mean if India and Pakistan are stupid enough to get engaged in a war then at best expect help from China in terms of resources....one has to be utter idiot to join a confrontation and last thing would be to join a nuke theater
