Haven seen the Indian navy and knowing Pakistan operates subs a blockade could work but it would be costly. I don't rate the Indian navy that high
India has far bigger number of submarines and anti submarine warfare equipments. Besides 3 Ahista class submarines of PN, Pakistani submarine fleet is ancient. I would be far more scared from Iran rather than Pakistan.
I don't say that Indian Navy won't have any damage. But it will win by a very very large margin. India is trying similar efforts with aerospace technology too.

Hope next decade brings similar rise of Indian Air Power.

Being fair for Navy, put the Indian Navy on one side & rest all other Navies on or around Indian Ocean at other side and compare. India still would have advantage.

They have yet to find one of our subs in a wargame in South Africa. I think a lone Pakistan submarine could be a real threat

I mean sure poor quality stuff would be cheap. But if you want some thing that can last all most 40 years now it going to cost a bit. Econmy of scale I could see it costing say 100usd per webbing for could stuff maybe 75usd if you go a bit cheaper. With say 80 000 vests at 75 USD a pop that's 6 million USD and that still won't cover the entire Nigerian army

Bro, quality stuff from the above mentioned place wouldn't cost higher than $60 either. I have had a camp bag custom made from that place and its a decade old now without a single tear considering how rough I can be- it cost equivalent of $17 in today's naira and about $30+ in then's naira

No matter the standards of the Army from a local firm /business/shop it shouldn't stray far away from $60

Still at 200 000 men the army and the need for more than at a 1 to 1 number but not ever one needing I would say 150 000 webbing are needed so around 9 million USD to get enough for ever combat unit and training unit. But really you would need double that so 18 million USD. Not a lot but more than what you can spend with out a lot of paper work.

I was more on how India has never found a SA sub in wargames.


But to anserw your question sa anti sub is focused around our 3 subs. Our frigates do have anti subcablities and we did tets there torpedoes. But using a surface ship to hunt a sub is not a good idea.

May be, it depends upon the kind of equipment India was using at that particular time and the tactics SA sailors were using.
India has an extensive set of ASW tools including helicopters, destroyers, frigates & giant corvettes.

In past 4-5 years India has and in next 4-5 years India will, commissioned and will commission some of most advanced stealth warships. We have been making submarines literally called "stealth".

By the way, I was more about capabilities of Pakistan & Pakistan isn't a big threat for sure.
