You must be kidding.
China has tested JL-2 for more than decade, while your K4 and K5 are still on the paper.
BTW, if India does reach the JL-1 level by the 2020s, then it will be a tremendous achievement for you guys, then the next step is to test a three stages solid-fuel & 2 meters diameter SLBM like JL-2, and it should be ready by around the 2030s.
Don't ever think about flying when you can't even walk properly.
Usual jokes by Chinese,the last one I have heard from you was that 'Pakistani SLBM (non existant) would be far more reliable than Indian SLBM (already tested)'
K 4 still on paper?Its ready for its first test,which would take place by this month.It carries a payload of 2 tonnes,range of 4000 km & according to some reports is a QBM / STM.Enough for China.
As for India's aircraft carriers vs the PAF. The main advantage for the PAF is fixed wing AEW. Which the Indian carriers don't have. It means that the PAF planes can spot and track the Indian carrier based planes long before they know what is going on. The INS Viraat and its handful of subsonic Sea Harriers can be easily disposed of with JF-17 Thunders armed with PL-12 or PL-10 missile's. The INS Viraat these days goes out to sea with only 5 Sea Harriers and during war time that could increase to 10. And since the Sea Harriers can't fly far from the INS Viraat it means that the INS Viraat is near and that means ka boom time for the INS Viraat. The INS Vikramaditya with its MiG-29K Fulcrum-D's will be a much harder nut to crack. But the principle is the same.
Pakistan can neutralize or at least severely decrease the threat from India's aircraft carriers by having AEW planes like the ZDK-03 in its naval arsenal. The helicopter based AEW of the Indian carriers are far less effective and is a handicap for the carriers. Two AEW planes to deal with the 2 carrier based air fleet is enough.
And of course the new submarines will help too.
