The Pakistani navy, operating as part of the Saudi-led Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), has seized nearly $1bn worth of narcotics from two vessels sailing through the Arabian Sea.

The CMF, the naval network overseeing the operation, said in a statement on Wednesday that last week, the Pakistani navy intercepted the dhows in two separate operations over 48 hours and seized narcotics worth more than $972m

Must be first time in history that the value of captures drugs are worth more then the Frigate they are on...

1 billion dollar is a huge amount. I wonder what’s the largest amount of drugs siezed prior to this?

this is the largest ever by VALUE

Nothing I have overlooked is not mentioned.
The Navy is much more efficient in R&D than any of those two branches - but budget matters.

What do you mean by invade?
If that means trying to cross into Pakistani waters or even close enough they already tried with their subs recently (AIP isn’t some save all trump card) but literally ran screaming when PN snuck up behind them. Which is why I mentioned earlier the PN’s ability to “hear” is greatly underestimated.

The rest is “yes it’s there” - I know the team for the local Subtics sim so it great for its specific role in the system but you’re throwing things out(which Ive already alluded to with A2/AD assets) there while forgetting what sits on the other side.

It’s not a cake walk for IN but it’s a razor thin line for the plan to work otherwise a lot could collapse very quickly.

You cannot treat a service like a third adopted child and expect them to tackle a force 8 times their size and 20 times their budget on “a lot is hidden” hopes.

Could PN operate effectively under GBAD and SSM cover. I do not fully understand the logic that is used in building up our larger surface warships to operate in arabian sea rather than some limited coastal defense in wartime. PN simply doesnt have enough VLS to compete in open water operations

Please correct me if im wrong but i believe PN is not paying enough attention to FACs like azmat class and EW capability. Why is this the case? I belive its a matter of priority over finance considering other procurements but should PN seek to gain an advantage over IN it should seek a complete symmetric and asymmetric response similar to PAF leveraging geographical and information warfare edge over the IN to even the playing field
