India Races Towards A 200-Ship Fleet By 2035 To Counter China And Pakistan

Pakistan's defence spending is less than 2% of GDP. Most of the GDP go into interest payment on loans. Pakistan's defence spending is much efficient than European counterparts such as Germany or UK.

And how much % of total annual budget ? Do add the pension section along with those $12 billion as well. Because military pension allocations are kept separate from defence budget. Tacky aapka or mera sun kay pait kharab na ho.

The only real solution is to declare LoC as international border completely and establish a demilitarized zone in Kashmir on both side of LoC with conditions that IWT is held and respected sincerely.

How can they counter China's long-range naval capabilities?

Actually, thats a very good question. How does India even counter massive Chinese fleet?

Answer is its island chains and long range anti ship missiles like LRAShM. Nicorbar Islands are perfect place for that. A 1500-2000KM range manuvering ballistic missile battery will deny China access to bay of bengal and arabian sea. Strong underground shelters can provide cover from any surface to surface missiles or air raids. They only need come out and fire anti-ship missiles. Basically same playbook China has with USA.
