If it's not a date, May or Oct, then it's pointless to waste time on it.
I'm sure they have a bungalow or two in London to show for it.
I think Babur II can take care of every Indian ship and ground based systems. It has 900km range, good enough at a standoff range. RAAD II is also a good choice for our aircrafts. I think Navy will do great this time.
Yes same old tactic, basically forcing Pakistan navy to move away from it's coastal areas. Nobody knows what is hiding in the water vstol. You have to search vast amount of water this time. Someone, somewhere etc.
Sinking the PN is of little use at this point in time, their replacements are more capable and arriving by the end of the decade.
Only their corvette fleet can be destroyed along with support ships, like supply ships. Of course, merchant navy ships will be the main prize.
But they have 5 submarines, with 8 Chinese ones on the way. They have 8 frigates, with 4 new ones coming up, the remaining 4 can be replaced quickly by the Chinese on their own dime. At the very least, the PN can retain its pre-war size in a matter of just a few years.
So any large scale naval attack must be part of a larger plan, like taking back PoJK.
This is the major worry, because it is time consuming to search them and engage them, and time is precious in cold start, otherwise rest is not match, but IN may suffer too one or two vessels at max in the whole process, damage could be major or minor.
What's the range of Dharashakti? Also the smerch can be used right now with the 9M42,9M544 and 9M549(120km range)
Taking out todays PN is sort overt symbolic action to deter further terror attacks.
In case, further escalates, large scale objectives will come into play.
Cutting down the river water & ports
Training of manpower will take much longer
In 2010, then NSA Shivshankar Menon described India’s nuclear doctrine as “no first use against non-nuclear weapon states”..... It wasn't a slip by any chance. policy has been modified with massive retaliation if any nuclear weapons are used against our forces.... Doesn't matter where they are , whether inside or outside Pakistan & so on......... The moment we are seeing imminent sign of a nuclear strike we are going all in first.
Only 2 are in the water. The rest are docked.
Range doesn't matter, many units will be used with sufficient overlap across the entire battlefield.

The problem is it doesn't damage the PA's prestige, and the aftereffects are largely invisible to an uneducated population. Even the average Pakistani knows the PN can't stand up to the IN. And he also doesn't understand the importance of maintaining SLOCs until the impact is actually felt a few weeks down the line. And it's not like we are going to place a blockade indefinitely.
Even after their navy is sunk, yeah, it's some hit to their prestige during negotiations, but things will go on as usual once we are done with our action. Hence the need to follow through after sinking their navy.
This was the plan all along.... If they get any sloppy we get them by the b@lls a total surprise... Completely humiliating lumber 1 Army. If they remain vigilant they keep burning cash.... Either way we are destined to win one way or the other.
From what I understand, modern ships provide enough time for most of the crew to escape. If we include their intention to operate close to shore, in the shallows, the chances of survival increases.
And with poor serviceability rates, most of the crews are likely grounded and will survive. Including submarine crews. And they are preparing to train crews for 8 new submarines anyway.
The biggest issue with a small navy is how quickly they can bounce back after extremely heavy losses, 75% or more. IN will require 2-3 decades. PN needs only 5 years, the time it takes for the Chinese to build a Type 054 from scratch.
If Turkey provides 2 billion bucks in aid and the Chinese follow through with 3, they come back with 4 Baburs and 8 Type 054s in 5-7 years, alongside 8 Hangors, with the first 4 entering service within 2 years. 2 subs are likely already under sea trials, it's possible 1 has already been commissioned.
