India’s aircraft carrier & nuclear subs deployment a ‘no-nonsense’ message to China, not Pakistan?

China is using Pakistan as a tool to contain India, so the redeployment of an aircraft carrier, warships and nuclear-powered submarines to North Arabian Sea is a clear signal to Beijing, rather than Islamabad, analysts told RT.
Despite the heated tensions around the Kashmir region, “India does not base its defence preparedness on what Pakistan does or does not do,” Gopalaswami Parthasarathy, former Indian envoy to Pakistan, said. The country is much more concerned about “what China does to contain Indian influence in the Indian Ocean,” he told RT.
Indian Navy deploys aircraft carrier & nuclear subs to deter ‘misadventures’ by Pakistan
Indian military journalist, Shiv Aroor, also said that the naval forces of the two neighbours “aren’t near peers in terms of numbers, strength or capability — Pakistan, for instance, doesn’t operate nuclear submarines or aircraft carriers.”
However, “if maritime hostilities [between India and Pakistan] ever did break out in whatever form, China would almost definitely be in the mix,” he warned, acknowledging that such scenario would be a problem for New Delhi.
Dozens of Indian warships, including the INS ‘Vikramaditya’ aircraft carrier and several nuclear-powered submarines, were withdrawn from maritime exercises and sent close to Pakistani territorial waters on Monday.
In the meantime, Aroor said, deploying a naval group this powerful to “deny area – or in extreme events, create blockades across crucial shipping channels” isn’t entirely “off the table.”
“Nobody thought India would conduct air strikes inside Pakistani territory,” the journalist added. “That line has been crossed… The ball in most ways is in Pakistan’s court now.”

The Indian Defense Ministry explained that the move was intended “to prevent, deter and defeat any misadventure by Pakistan in the maritime domain.” It indicated that the flare-up between the two countries, which began after a suicide attack on Indian troops by a Pakistani-based terror group in February and led to shellings and even aerial engagements in the border area, is far from over.
India’s relations with its other major neighbour, China, are also rather strained, as the two of the world’s most populous countries and fastest growing major economies are bound to compete. In 2017, skirmishes between Chinese and Indian troops broke out over China’s road construction in the disputed Doklam plateau in the Himalayas, but a major escalation was avoided.

Pakistan is an instrument used by China to contain India through supplies of weapons, missiles and even nuclear weapon designs.
“Pakistan, by itself, does not worry us. We can more than match and manage Pakistan,” he reiterated.Indian Navy deploys aircraft carrier & nuclear subs to deter ‘misadventures’ by Pakistan

However, “if maritime hostilities [between India and Pakistan] ever did break out in whatever form, China would almost definitely be in the mix,” he warned, acknowledging that such scenario would be a problem for New Delhi.
China has a significantly larger navy than India’s, with a much more robust submarine force.
As for the deployment of Indian naval assets, it is “about as no-nonsense a message, as you can send,” he said, adding, however, that “war is realistically and hopefully a very remote possibility in the circumstances.”Dozens of Indian warships, including the INS ‘Vikramaditya’ aircraft carrier and several nuclear-powered submarines, were withdrawn from maritime exercises and sent close to Pakistani territorial waters on Monday.

What constitute an act of war?
An enemy nation sanctioning air strike on your military installation falls in what category as per your understanding?

It has an integral SPJ but was under the Jamming cover of Su-30 MKI in all probability.
Sir.
Was going to war the aim of Government of India? Can you elaborate on that?

No it was never found. 02 x R-77s and 01 x R 73. Alongwith 01 x centerline EFT.
And even in that, your side messed up and showed the centreline EFT of F-16 and a very dark colour piece of fuselage casing, not found as skin color of Mig-21 but covering the mid section of the fuselage of PAF F-16 as a stripe.
Sir. Again, sincere request read about Stand Off Weapons and their guidance.
Sir.
It took Indira Gandhi 1 years preparation to go to war, when we had a solid Cold War USSR already backing us. People forget that.
No, it was very clearly communicated to the GoI by the Service Chiefs that they shall retaliate.
The response is on order no doubt. But you did not have the world willing to sit out a war between India and Pakistan.
Possible, probable. Not conclusive. I would file this, your point here, as being the accepted level of risk as per GoI. Can I call it as such? No, purely my speculation.
No two views.
I am not exactly a fan of the present dispensation on the handling of the affair, hence my every post has been indicating no escalation. I am sure, very sure, if someone was to read my posts and draw up a timeline and review it with the declarations/data made available in public domain, one would be able to read that there was nothing new which is coming to fore.
The present dispensation, has boxed itself further into the corner. And in the process, created a new norm wherein our citizens will be targeted across the IB in Jammu region and LC in Kashmir and we will be sitting ducks.
I am very sure that it was a very well thought out policy - yet.
If you check the photo graph of F100 PW 229/220 (which the PAF operates as also RJAF had) as also F100 GE Engine, and put up a photo of Tumansky R25 ... it shall be interesting read for all.
I shall just say that it is best not to respond to you here on this open forum right now. To explain things vaguely, will be counterproductive as you will not be able to get it but those whose job is to look for information will.
Usual slug fest ..nothing that is of importance has come to me. Wonder why people are jumping on this.

Unconfirmed reports of GHQ hit by Brahmos
Load of nonsense

Precisely. And they have handed over data to the Government.
Nope. I guess second time you have asked this.
Worse. Cats, toddlers with plenty of fire crackers in the mix.
