Pakistan Successfully Tested Babur 3 Cruise Missile launch from Submarine : ISPR

.
Dont think they will drag the "mobile platform", whatever it is, across the Arabian sea, into Indian ocean, and fire from there, if the testing of the weapon system was intended. No logic what so ever, unless the platform is indeed a sub.

This is Pakistan land base platform

For the sake of war gaming, it will be interesting to see if Pakistan deploy one of its submarine in red sea armed with Babur 3, to keep an eye on Israel. Israelis do have presence in Indian ocean using Iran as pretext.

We do need to have second strike capability on all hostile entities.

With only 3 Agosta 90s this cannot be done at the moment ... but yes after we start getting some Chinese subs we can keep an eye on Israel too. :agree:

So with the upcoming 8 Yuan based export submarines which hold can hold up to 18 torpedoes or missiles internally Pakistan could realistically have up to 96 SLCM from those subs alone factoring each sub having 6 torpedoes each. They could also very likely come with dedicated vertical launch systems which would allow much greater capacity and size of missile. Im not sure if its easier to add a nuclear warhead to a Chinese SLCM or use Pakistani SLCMs in a Chinese sub. But if they use a Chinese one they would come with 3000km range from the start and very cheap prices if bundled

Yes it's a landmark achievement, congrats bros!

I remember in older threads (early last year) about the new subs I talked far more about them being used as second strike strategic force, together with Babur-III, possible Beidou usage, etc., as opposed to them being used in naval warfare. Just as Israeli built their deterrent using Dolphin-class sub as platform for their SLCM, in my opinion both PN and IDF are doing things effectively to counter respective opponent who are:
  1. Regional, not inter-continental
  2. Limited firepower i.e. fission stockpile only (Israel's opponents aren't even nuclear).
The combination of Pakistani firepower (2.1 megaton, more than twice that of opponent) + Babur SLCM + AIP-enhanced conventional subs shall be an effective deterrent.

We should not tire and keep building up on these advances.

In the next decade Pakistan will develop SLCM with ICBM classs range.

I think the USA'es intel proved correct as they sanctioned Pakistan's firms,Most probably because their Trident-II's are feeling the pressure now
May God have mercy on our enemies because we won't :rofl:

I am not sure about current inventory of Israeli subs but I believe they also got 3. If they can keep one in Indian ocean, with the help of Saudis, we can keep one in red sea well. With 20 days submerged endurance provided by MESMA AIP, the agostas can be kept well hidden.
