@Oscar , @Ak01
Is there a possibility to use the SMASH(1st variant -not the Fatah 2) in land based battery of SRBMs for only the PN different from ARFC?? it can be deployed to sir creek region or the coastline to target IN ships and the Prized economic assets of India in Gujrat/Rajasthan.
It would be a good strategy right?

1) There is limited scope of 'area denial' in naval warfare now as proximity of Indian navy to our coast matters little. Indians would stay safely away , very near to their home waters and lob missiles at us.
2) Our Navy is definitely our weaker link
3) Upcoming conflict is entirely going to be missile based so this also very concerning.
