INS Vikramaditya and her powerful followers will always stationed in western fleet .
What is the duty of a Navy or in that case an armed forces ?
Defending their nation at any cost with whatever weapons in their inventory .
So you can guarantee 30 fighters from INS Viki within minutes on a short notice or warning .
Then you will also have the IAF in there as support .
INS Vikramaditya and her CBG for Western fleet and INS Vikrant for Eastern fleet .
Honestly we dont have any serious enemy in our eastern sector .So perhaps you can expect Eastern fleet CBG.
And if these kind of situation arises after one decade .
Eastern fleet wont interfere but you will have a mighty CBG spearheaded by INS Vishal in there .
Peninsular India is a turf of Indian Navy .You cant pass without Navy permission. .
Was this post written before the approval of Pakistan's EEZ? Now the reality is, Bombay and Dwarka are about 100-200 KM from the most outer ring of PN's Naval vessels from the EEZ. On the other hand, all sea traffic coming from the Strait of Homes, going towards Oman (to buy Pakistani Navy), comes directly under the other outer most ring the PN will form towards Oman. Again slightly over 100 KM if that.
So the reality is, if Pakistan has a decent fleet in the next 5 years and a few naval dedicated fighters / attack aircraft (which they have started to work on to acquire or build), the Indian cargo can be taken out. Next, the IN can't get to this entire sea route unless it destroys the entire PN (which would obviously mean the threshold goes to using Flash lights and the region would become kaboom). Now be smart before responding and be factual. This isn't a D*ck measuring context and no need to get emotional please.
As the year 2018 - 2020 rolls around, you'll start to hear about serious additional capability for the PN, including 3-4 dedicated Naval air wings / squadrons. The government of Pakistan has already ok'd these things verbally. Now they are just waiting on CPEC phase I to start to take shape by 2017 and the electric issue can be resolved for optimal business output by 2018. Then, expect some large military deals in 2018-2019. Going forward, the PN will become the major focal point as the EEZ and Gawader both require significantly large amounts of assets to protect these areas.
