IS PAKISTAN PLANING ON BUILDING OR BUY A AIRCRAFT CARRIER

[Patriot]

Nope........

[asaad-ul-islam]

so far, there are no plans to have an aircraft carrier. however, there are plans to have a navy that can conduct blue-water operations. that means around three to four small battle groups, each consists of one large command&control ship (destroyer) for multi-role with AAW and land attack capability with our cruise missiles, two to three AAW frigates, and maybe one corvette, with support craft.

by then, babur cruise missile would have a range of about 1000-2000 km, allowing us to conduct blue-water operations and strike deep inland from far. this was something like the AFDP-2019 plan, judging by how the economy is doing.

this is totally contrary to the current naval doctrine of PN. can you please provide some "background" information supporting your claim!
