Also having just the capability is a massive "don't fck with us" to all and sundry.
Sir, I'll compare it with the nukes. We had the capability, but until 1999 it didn't change the calculus for our enemies. From what I have seen during my stay in Australia, it is a very petty, seeing is believing sort of world we live in today.
Nuclear sub can stay in water for 90 days and has higher maintenance times vs 30-45 days for AIP sub
Prime advantage of nuclear sub remains its speed, range things that are not really needed in indo pak settings..
Any logical person would deem AIPs as a better option
