not a chance
the indian navy is formidable and largely Indengious built unlike it's air Force and army
inducting few ccorvettes,and 4 frigates,does not reduce capability ago.
heck the Indians are building at home
vikrant carrier
4 more nuke subs arihant
7 new stealth frigates nigirili
6 new 13000 tonne destroyers, project 18
10 new corvettes
not to mention adding 4 more scorpene subs by 2025
still.in negostion to launch project 75 for 8 more enlarged scorpene subs or order the barracuda class subs too.
indian navy budget is around 10 times,pakistan even today
we have just added usa Poseidon maritime planes usa drones and m60 usa search helicopters and are looking to add 58 super hornets,as the vikrant fighter wing
If you even knew the basics of how all of this works you wouldn’t comment this. Pakistan doesn’t need the exact same amount of ships and subs and whatnot as India to be as powerful as India in the same category.
Let me put it like this since you have no understanding of the situation:
Pakistan has but one thing to defend, Pakistan. In the past the gap between the three armed forces of both countries has been very big but it’s been narrowing rapidly for the past 5 years. The narrower Pakistan can make that gap, the better, but it doesn’t even need to get 75% the size of what India has because India also needs to worry about China, and India will never ever catch up to China. While India claims it can fight a “two front war” against both China and Pakistan, in the current situation it would find itself losing to even Pakistan. We not only have a smaller area to defend, we can use 100% of our resources against India while India needs more than half its resources to fight China. Now where does your superiority go? Down the drain my friend.
Pakistan doesn’t need carriers, so it gets carrier killing capability to match the carrier threat. Pakistan realistically doesn’t need nuclear submarines especially after the 9 Hangor class are delivered (which by the way would put the number of submarines in both countries to about the same. What happened to Indian numerical superiority there? Especially when half your subs are busy elsewhere)
And judging by the pace at which your ships and carriers are built and orders are completed (remember the naval Tejas? Neither do I, neither does your navy) Pakistan is getting dangerously close to your “superiority”
with all the inductions the PN is making, If Indian procurement is even as India itself says it will be by 2025. The numerical advantage will realistically be with Pakistan. Unless India wants China to have an open door to drive into Delhi.
India has and always will have more money, more manpower and more equipment. But when you take a ratio of the size difference of the two countries. The larger numbers start to seem pretty small.
its also funny how India cries about “Pakistan needs China hur dur” because they don’t have an ally to depend on during war. Even the USA and Russia need its allies to be strong. If the alliance helps Pakistan stay safe then who cares if some people across the border bad mouth it.
Please understand the true situation before just quoting would be procurement numbers before they’re even completed. Thanks.
