Hi, the Gwadar port is a great port and is needed by Pakistan. Karachi already is overloaded and has many bottle necks. It is the government of Pakistan who is to poor and corrupt to cough up the money to make it viable. More importantly also to stupid to use it effectively. A country of 180MM definitely needs more that one large port.
In regards to the naval fleet, I think Pakistan is making a mistake investing in surface ships. They will be sunk the minute a war starts with Yakont and/or Brahmos missiles. Pakistan should build up its air arm, and its submarine fleet and also use tactical nukes to deal with the Indian Navy. Using nukes in the ocean does not pollute and does not induce a land based retaliation.
Also I wonder if Pakistan is buying the improved Yuan class submarine from China? Thanks!
