Summary / Abstract (Note) | Pakistan's navy (Pak Behrya) with an estimated strength of 25000+ personnel, is an medium size navy with a relatively well balanced fleet and naval air assets. On the one hand, the Pakistan Navy (PN) finds itself trying to counter an increasingly powerful Indian Navy (IN). on the other hand, it seeks to play a greater role in providing maritime security in Persian Gulf given that it sees itself as the eminent naval force in the middle east/ Persian gulf region. As a result it finds itself stretched to the limit. |
