Let us not veer to the irrelevant of castes and Jinnah, having the best forces, and like drivel et al.
Look at history since Pakistan came into being and the wars fought,
Sorry, keeping aside propaganda, you don't know what Pakistan of Quaid-e-Azam means. I am sure if you will come across the truth, which is seldom projected, New Delhi would support idea of Pakistan from inner core of its heart. One can recall that people of Mumbai and Hyderabad requested Quaid-e-Azam to send Pakistani forces for takeover as whole population is with Pakistan but Quaid delivered a speech in which he asked the citizens of Mumbai and Hyderabad to remain loyal with Indian government. Pakistan has no expansionist designs and desires that Indian Muslims should be loyal to their motherland. It was Quaid-e-Azam who presented an idea of joint defence of Indian Ocean to India.
Most of the Surface Combatant Ships of of PN are only good to engage pirates with only F-22p not being 2nd hand and have respectable Air Defence Capability (i am being moderate here, 8 SAM's with 18km Range. Also PN only have 3 "Good" Subs in Agosta 90B.
Please refresh your information about PN. You will get surprises. By the way IN has been assigned good job to engage pirates. No doubt, after all, someone has to protect US MVs.
If automation is wrong and lack of employment thus caused of human resources, should we go back to the time of rowboats and sails?
No, it is not so"¦ we should have the best of the best but that need to be indigenous. Pakistan had been front man player since early 1950ies. Stores are dump with brand new equipments for which backup was not provided. Since 1998, Washington refused to provide spares of F-16 on the pretext of nuclear explosions. It took full two years to develop indigenous spares. The foreign nations will never sell us the advance versions and by the time major overhauling is required, these becomes obsolete. You are well aware of present problems being faced by IN. Even you cannot discuss them at an open forum. As already mentioned our strength is our manpower, You are doing good at deep sea, Port Blair projects as well as at Andaman and Nicobar. Let's hope it does come out to be paper projects. We should have confidence in over selves, why would would develop rowboats and sails when even at the times of Emperor Aurengzeb Alamgir, India had one of the strongest Navy that twice destroyed the British fleets.
Lady, the reason for their comment is their navy had destroyed a third of your naval force in 1971 war.
There is a sentence from (Pakistan Navy) wiki for you.....
'According to one Pakistan scholar, Tariq Ali, the Pakistan Navy lost a third of its force in the war.'
Someone must have misguided about 1971 War but of course during this war Indian side fought bravely. There were other wars in 1948, 1965 and at Kargil. I believe war is necessary for peace but neighbours do not need to fight with each other"¦ the simply diminish themselves. Ask you retired Navy officers who participated in 1971 war. They are the witness that although Pakistan lost the war but PN's performance was much mush better than India. guess how many Indian ships were destroyed in 1971?
What gap you are talking about?
We are already have blue water capability and not with coastal ship!
And Pakistan?
Eyewash like Cold Start Doctrine (CSD). IN has not enough warships to support the exercise and she uses Coast Guard and other boats to fill the gap. But the state of Pakistan is also not different.
The point is that in which direction you are dragging me. I was talking about joint defence of Indian Ocean and freeing our region from foreign intruders.
There can always be a fresh begining...
