A Pakistani naval base housing crucial ships for the defense of the western region is feared to be the first target in potential conflict with India, as experts warn of overwhelming gaps in military capabilities.
Warnings About Increasing Indian Naval Power
A report from the Pakistani National Institute of Maritime Affairs (NIMA) sounded the alarm over the growing significance of the Indian navy, potentially signaling the start of a new conflict with “destructive attacks on strategic naval bases” reportedly in Pakistan’s western coastal regions.
Joint Military Bases at Risk
The alert focused on the Jinnah Naval Base in Ormara, where crucial warships are stationed for western coastline defense, and the Makran naval base in Pasni on vital maritime routes. Experts also warned of potential risks at the Qasim naval base in Karachi.
Dramatic Military Imbalance
The institute highlightedIndia’s overwhelming dominance in naval capabilities, with 67 warships and two aircraft carriers, while Pakistan sought to balance through diversification by building new bases along coastal Makran.
