Pakistan has commissioned its first Chinese Hangor-class submarine, boosting its fleet of advanced, submerged-capable vessels. This marks a significant upgrade, with eight such submarines expected by 2028. These AIP-equipped submarines enhance Pakistan's underwater endurance, potentially impacting regional naval dynamics as India works to modernize its own submarine force.
