Well Indian Navy is always on its toes, that is one of the reasons for its splendid performance in past conflicts.
Pakistan has 3 Agosta 90 subs against 9 Kilos, 4 Type 209s, 1 Akula, 1 Arihant another 6 scorpenes will be joining Indian Navy starting this year.
Deal for 1 Akula, 3 Arihant(in building), Another 6 conventional subs might be signed pretty soon but lets not count the subs whose deals haven't even been signed yet..including Chinese subs for Pakistan, who's deal is also not signed yet.
Yes they can threaten. But a handful of subs operating thousands of km away from pakistan is easier said than done. PN must have serious risk appetite for that. Any case they cant impose a blockade.
