Terrible joke.Simple, Samander mai Roh Afza mila den gay, Paani sara laal ho jaye ga aur IN submarines ko kuch nazar nai aye ga...

Terrible joke.
If IN submarines had to venture out in kill zone right next to Gwadar then no need for "Roh Afza" anyways.
By 2025 onwards, PN will have clear advantage in submarine fleet over IN. By then most of IN submarine fleet will be 3 to 5 decades old with ZERO AIP enabled subs. While PN will have 11 AIP enabled subs. The main reason for PN's expansion was to enable it to utilize and control this most important passing which is in immediate neighborhood of Gwadar.
PN once fully added with right amount of ships & subs will not let indian oil tankers pass under its nose in the event of full scale war.

Would PN have adequate assets to safeguard its areas close to Karachi and put a blockade in the marked area too?PN is not going to confront IN in middle of Indian ocean. It will stay under cover of PAF's dedicated maritime strike squadrons.
To effectively do it you need bigger ships and ships with serious offensive punch. Without that you can't do it also more Submarines.I have heard more and more talk from Pakistan Navy officials about acquiring enough naval capability to be able to selectively blockade Strait of Hormuz essentially choking India of vital fuel supplies in case of war.
If you look at the geography, it seems very plausible that PN will be able to impose a very effective blockade.
View attachment 216699
With the development of Gwadar port, the ability to blockade the strait seems more and more possible.
It will be very hard for Indian navy to operate in an area where 13 submarines are lurking and JF-17's armed with CM-400AKG will be on constant patrol.
Once HQ-9 is acquired, Pakistan's writ on the area will be strengthened even more as it will be very hard to send aircraft against P-3C Orions when the area will be covered by HQ-9 missiles.
The only but vital precaution PN will have to take will be to ensure that Strait of Hormuz stays open to normal International shipping, otherwise oil prices will skyrocket and the whole world will be pissed at us. Military intelligence will have to play a very important role in this regard.
P.S: I apologize for poor Paint skills
wow you sure roasted me good.Hi,
That was not an intelligent comment from you---but guess what---you write your mind---.
If Pak military was in Yemen / GCC---blocking straits of Hormuz would not even arise---would not become an issue.
The US had requested Pak military to take charge of Yemen crisis---it would have been upto pak military to decide what to do---.
India would have been in no position to threaten already established pak military in the region---.
@dbc----young person----think before you talk----. You excel at the equipment you use---so stay within those parameters---.
Note:---I re-read your post---. Stay with your day job---. Just because you wear a uniform---you think makes you clever---. Sonny---I have made some 2-3 stars lick their own behinds---you don't count to much---.
I am seeing hillarious responses. People should also bother to read the contents of the post and not just the title. He specifically said about only indian ships
You conveniently ignored, right after Iran-Oman starts Pakistan-Oman maritime boundary. So unless Oil tankers wants to take many days and 1000 mile detours into Omanion water, just to avoids PMSA search and rescue Area of responsibility. There is no going around PN.Couple of things you've conveniently ignored. All shipping through the Strait of Hormuz must pass through Iranian or Omani waters. These are the only two countries with legal rights to interdict shipping in those waters. Both countries permit 'innocent passage' but will not tolerate third party harassment of ships via the strait.
Second, the volume of cargo shipped on Indian flagged vessels that transit the strait is minuscule. In other words a majority of Indian cargo is shipped onboard vessels that belong to a third country.
So unless Pakistan is willing to incur the wrath of several important powerful nations the idea of blocking the strait is beyond silly.

Since India has built strategic oil reserves, this blockade might not be of enough value in a short conflict. And short it is likely to be.
Moreover, there would still be some supply from sources that wouldn’t have to pass through Hormuz.
Ok ok.For all your talk the reality is your military is not even as capable as the russians. Even the russians are leaps and bounds ahead of india yet are getting spanked on daily basis by ukraine.
Probably not now. You might wanna have a look at the modernization currently going on in PN.Would PN have adequate assets to safeguard its areas close to Karachi and put a blockade in the marked area too?
