it is not the case of expensiveness but IMPOSSIBILITY .....

- Most people are not aware about the depths of Arabian Sea which goes upto +4000 meter near Pakistani Coast, it is the World Second largest Deep-sea Fan in the World

Location of Indus Fan at Pakistan Coast

Even IF somehow we manage to create Floating Island for military purpose [I am NOT talking about Aircraft Carrier] then

- It will not give any advantage as Territorial Sea Boundaries are measured from the coast of mainland not from shore of Islands

- Any ship including Armed Naval Flotilla under UNCLOS could exercise Right of Innocent Passage or Transit Passage
What is FAN ?

As part of Project AZM ???


No brother, nothing to do with Azm,
As far as I know the team working on MALE UAV has it's own resources & team leader.

But it doesn't matter, it is all being done under PAC umbrella.

Although you were right in asking this question as Azm incorporates development of 5th Gen Air Warfare Tech including Aircraft , weapons , AESA, etc.

But IA we will see PAC MALE UAV much before Azm & who knows in future just as you said we have a Stealth MALE UAV or UCAV project as well.

But for a UCAV I believe heavy investment in AI has to be done now to get the fruit in years down the line.

Look at your diagram again and see West of the Murray ridge. Underwater mountain tops right below the water line.

Submarine fan, accumulation of land-derived sediment on the deep seafloor; in configuration, a fan is like the section of a very low cone, with its apex at the lower mouth of a submarine canyon incised into a continental slope. [link]

For more Detail but Basic Understanding plz visit this link

Following is the approximate Area and location of Indus Fan

Indus Fan Area and Location.jpg


And Following pic shows the Indian Ocean Floor [mean Ocean bed without Ocean Water] plz compare Ocean floor of Indus Fan with surroundings here keep in mind whole of Arabian Sea is actually Indus Fan

When I was in Pakistan I was told the local maulvi sahab decided to extend prayer capacity during ramzan and set up tent on the park land next to his masjid.
when the tents came down after ramzan .... there was a brick wall..... mosque had expanded on the public land and no one could dare to even suggest about demolishing the mosque.... we need this maulvi to suggest way of grabbing Balochistan from Iranians ..

Dear after carefuuly studying the area you identified, what you have stated is possible, but the issue is not only financial. IT would also be a sitting duck for ballistic missiles.

The enemy would think twice using it on an the main land, because it could be misinterpreted as a nuclear attack, but using it on an island in the mddle of the sea, would be much easier.


@HRK Do note as well

That has always been the 3rd rail in Pakistan.
It was a known trick by land grabbers to pay someone to put a loudspeaker on a bamboo and make a boundary with some bricks. Lo and behold a mosque. Now which red blooded musalman will go demolish a masjid!!!


*** 3rd rail in the US is the one that has electrical current for subway train and is live. You touch it and you are gone. So it is a euphemism for a sure suicide option
