India will have to contend with new Pakistan submarines from next year
Pakistan's naval strength is set to significantly increase next year with the induction of eight advanced Chinese-made Hangor-class submarines, featuring air-independent propulsion. This development poses a challenge to India's current conventional submarine capabilities, which are still awaiting their own building plans to commence. The move enhances Pakistan's maritime A2/AD posture.
