India-Pakistan Naval Arms Race Intensifies Amidst China's Growing Influence


The Indian Ocean is witnessing an escalating naval arms race between India and Pakistan, with China's growing influence in the region playing a significant role. This competition has intensified with recent developments, including Pakistan's launch of its first Chinese-designed Hangor-class submarine and India's test of a new anti-submarine warfare (ASW) weapon.

While China is not a direct arms supplier to India, its deepening ties with Pakistan and the provision of military technology have indirectly fueled the arms race. Pakistan's heavy reliance on Chinese weaponry and technology, exemplified by the Hangor-class submarine, has prompted India to enhance its naval capabilities in response.

According to a report by Asia Times in May 2024, China's growing strategic partnership with Pakistan and its increasing military footprint in the Indian Ocean have created a security dilemma for India. This has led India to invest heavily in its naval capabilities to counter the perceived threat from Pakistan's Chinese-equipped submarine fleet.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has highlighted Pakistan's increasing reliance on Chinese arms imports. This dependence not only strengthens China's influence in the region but also exacerbates the existing security competition between India and Pakistan.

India's response has been to bolster its naval capabilities, including the acquisition of advanced submarines, aircraft carriers, and anti-submarine warfare systems. This arms buildup is seen as a direct response to China's growing influence and Pakistan's military modernization with Chinese assistance.
 
How china is gaining from both sides....!!! What military equipments india is buying from China...!!!
 
Pakistan navy was & is never a challenge to Bharat's navy. The real challenge is china's navy. Sounds like a china sponsored article.
 
No arms race; Indian Navy is 6 times bigger, has two aircraft carriers. Three nuclear submarines, and more attack submarines coming. With 75I project for Submarines awarded and progressing, then Pakistani navy will be again limited to Karachi only. Their Chinese submarines are mostly in docks with downtime and repairs.

PAF is currently much more stronger technically and numerically than IAF. 2 AC's are NOT biggest ones as you are saying like a demb srss parrot speaking. Compare IA-IAF-IN to CCP's forces and you will run away like a coward...

Can u explain how PAF much more stronger technically and numerically than IAF. And also compare IA IAF IN to ccp forces. I guarantee I will not run away like you. And if PAF CCP are really as stronger then why they could not take Kashmir from India

PAF has about 450 jets. IAF has capprox 800 plus jets. Get your figures right. And read well before you respond. Mr. Hari Sud wasn't comparing IN AC with any PNS. Avoid using harsh language. Except for their J10C and JF 17s , other jets incl F16 are very old.
 
Where is the race? Competion between me & ushain bolt can't be termed as a race 🤣🤣🤣
