Is Indian Aircraft Carrier a Big Threat for Pakistan Navy?

Ok thats good to know

sarcasm???

Not at all buddy. Carry on with your good work

Why does Endia even need a carrier against Pakistan when it has airfields across the shared boarder. It’s nothing more than a waste of money to flex some superficial pride.

IN aircraft carrier equipped with either the super hornet or rafale will most definitely be problematic for Pakistan

Hi to some extent your assessment is right easy solution at the moment is hypersonic ASM for PN and same for air arm to keep at bay Indian ACC off course Indian navy is not usnavy so chances are bright they will keep it at bay from PN reach
in longer term a squad of J ( now here most of the learned members don’t agree about J series export to PN or PAF we all should keep in mind about Russian & Chinese relations specifically after Ukrainian war series will be sufficient to tackle it with stand-off weapons
thank you

Yes this is why pakistan navy needs dedicated twin engine jets to carry heavy anti ship missiles

Mig 35 might be answer to take on Vikrant aircraft from above and yuan underwater operation at same time

The SU-35 would be a better option for that role.

If we are going to go for a flanker it should be a Chinese flanker, if that's even possible both economically and due to export restrictions

No problem. Pakistan can destroy Indian naval ships using anti-ship Harpoon and Harba missiles

Pakistan Navy fires indigenous Harba anti-ship cruise missile​

According to the Twitter account of Defence and Strategic Studies, “[PNS Himmat] fired an indigenously developed Harba naval cruise missile, which is a surface-to-surface anti-ship missile with land-attack capability,”

If the Harba ASCM is a variant of the Babur, Defence and Strategic Studies speculates, then it would essentially be a long-range sea-skimming ASCM. Like the C-802 ASCM, the Harba ASCM would likely rely on an inertial navigation system (INS)-based mid-course guidance system coupled with a terminal-stage active-homing seeker. It is not known what kind of active seeker the Harba ASCM is using, though for anti-ship warfare (AShW) active radar-homing (ARH) is a widespread solution. However, imaging infrared (IIR) could be an alternative, especially involving cases where strong electronic warfare (EW) and electronic countermeasures (ECM) jamming is expected (which can interfere or scuttle an ARH seeker).
The key aspect of the Harba is its potential range – 450 km or 700 km (depending on whether it is derived from the Babur 3 or Babur Version 2, respectively).
The Azmat-class FAC is not equipped with a long-range radar for surface target detection, tracking and mid-course guidance. To fully utilize the Harba’s range as an AShW solution, Defence and Strategic Studies explains, the PNS Himmat will require an off-board sensor, which could be another ship, an aircraft – such as the ZDK03/Karakoram Eagle airborne early warning and control platform – or land/shore-based radar to provide mid-course guidance. However, this would not be necessary if the Harba is used as a LACM against a fixed target, the PNS Himmat crew can simply input target information to the Harba’s INS guidance suite.
It would make sense for the Harba to be a standard ASCM of the forthcoming frigates being bought from China. Defense News reported that Pakistan inked a contract in June 2017 for a Type 054A frigate in the same sensor and weapons configuration as the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s ships. As per the Defense News report, Pakistan plans to procure a total of up to three of these frigates.

PN has put in layered A2/AD capabilities in place that for the time being make the current Vikramaditya group pretty vulnerable before it can even begin to be a serious threat.

However, once IAC comes online and if they buy SH or Rafale then the situation changes due to those aircraft having the ability to mount effective anti area denial system operations much much more effectively than the current Ks.

First Indian Scorpene subs have been compromised and now they Rafales have been compromised too.

Any plane taken off from that galloping Indian Carrier as yet? other than by hoisting ?

Not yet.
We carry our aircraft on trucks and ships. They fire their weapons when they reach the target.
No need to have a sling or catapult or even an engine.

 

[Super Falcon]

China now lifted a ban on Aegis class type 052 destroyers and some asian navy might been sold to don't know who but fingers point to Pak

Pak needs such heavy ships to counter indian aircraft battle carrier group and it's fighter jet threat in our sea backyard

Or some middle eastern country may be getting it since their bigger defence source USA threatening them for not selling weapons any more so they go for these heavy destroyers

Saudis Arabia UAE and Qatar are big contenders

Indian Aircraft carriers have nothing to do with Pakistan.
