In a significant development, the Pakistan Navy has taken a substantial lead over the Indian Navy in the adoption of Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology. With the Chinese-built Hangor-class submarines set to join its fleet, Pakistan is expected to further bolster its naval capabilities. The AIP technology allows submarines to stay submerged for longer periods, giving them a strategic edge. This advancement is a major boost to Pakistan's naval prowess, with experts anticipating further innovations in the field of submarine technology. The Indian Navy is also working on AIP technology, but Pakistan's lead is expected to have significant implications for regional naval dynamics, including underwater warfare and maritime security.
