Recent skirmishes and diplomatic strains between India and Pakistan have spotlighted the strategic role of their navies. Following military operations and missile strikes, both countries’ navies are actively preparing for potential future clashes. India aims to develop a blue-water navy capable of deep-sea operations, while Pakistan focuses on coastal defense. Analysts warn that naval confrontations could escalate risks, including nuclear threats. Historical conflicts, such as the 1971 naval attack on Karachi, underscore the high stakes involved in any naval warfare between the two nations.
