No matter which ever curtain of reason we find to escape behind the ego (ghairat) of some of our so
called people with experience or generals, (jarnails) or strategist's , the fact of the matter is that
we don't have a Navy that can do justice to a nuclear power country. & people that are to be blamed for this, are those very experienced general's who spent all their life defending Pakistan by encouraging & engaging in a culture of (sir' jee's or janaab's) a cycling of an never ending culture of sycophancy , but still they couldn't come up with an adequate plan to build up a strong naval power , that can not only protect & defend our coastlines , but also secure our supply route & here lies the problem , because we have given weight to devotion but at the same time have neglected strategies. therefore we have to understand this, that just because a person gives a large part of his life to the force , doesn't necessarily qualifies him/her as the pillar to rely upon & thus we have to understand the difference between devotion & experience to put it simply "experience with intelligent competency" or result oriented experience , lets be honest this is not the era of "jazba a imani" but it is for sure the age of ship building capacities R&D's, technology, adequate gears, bullet proof vests ,modernized guns, ships, fighter jets & SAM'S & ABM's in short Network centric warfare's , & that's where we have cheated our selves even today we have people who doesn't understand that defending the coastlines & securing the supply routes are entirely two different strategies altogether, let me simplify it for you , suppose GOD forbid in a conflict there is a blockade imposed on us , then even if we some how defend our coastlines successfully still it will not break the blockade ! then too our supply lines will still be blocked because , one of the main objectives of any blockade is to exhaust the country of its supply , or War resources & other important necessities like Oil, weapons, spares, important necessities of daily life like foods item, medicines etcs & above all to standstill the Economy. & that's where a green water navy comes in, as it not only defends its coastlines , but along with that it also protects & secures the supply lines after all a green water naval capability is a competent combination of both defensive & offensive capabilities, & let alone a defensive & offensive green water naval power projection, we don't even have a strong brown water capability to defend us ! we see the fanciest of uniforms wore by our general's with medals shining through, can literally light a room up & we become contended. foolish is a word too little to describe to whom so ever gets impressed by it , instead an intelligent citizen will always ask what kind of a navy do we have, is it a coastal one , a brown water one or a green water one ? do we have an adequate ship building capacity ? & the answer to that is , no we don't , & if truth be told then the fact of the matter is , that we don't even have a fully brown water navy let alone a green water one , take a look at South Korea they have a force of 650 thousand plus active troops well geared , well protected & a well armed one then ours from a to z, they have an air force of 850 fighter jets a ship building capacity to envy & not to mention a "Green water navy" & they are 1,500 sq km smaller then Khyber Pakhtunkhwa & F.A.T.A !
