It has been speculated long ago that some of the 8 Yuan class submarines China's building for Paxtan would have facilities for launching SLBMs much like Israel does - housing N tipped SLBMs in a Diesel Electric Submarine instead of a N propelled submarine.
A conventional submarine would have long enough submerge time and long enough range SLCM/SLBM?
If it follows the bastion principle & hugs the coast why not ? The Israelis have been following the same principle for the past 2 decades at least if not more.
Wonder if this is something Pakis themselves are cooking up. Why would India enter PoK when locals in PoK are protesting against Paki military.
Elaborate??

Growing anxieties about submarine warfare in the Indo-Pacific and India’s involvement with regional partners require careful analysis of the opportunities and risks in this area.
Why not ?
