It was costly to mess with India, had Pakistan chosen the wrong warship PNS Hunain for the collision?

in the Arabian Sea on Tuesday (15 September 2026) when Pakistan’s PNS Hunain collides with Indian Navy’s Kolkata class ship which caused considerable damage to the Pakistani warship. Talking about the strength of Pakistan’s warship PNS Hunain, it is a 2,600 ton offshore patrol vessel, whereas India’s Kolkata class ship is one of the most powerful and modern warships and its weight is almost three times more than PNS Hunain i.e. 7,400 tons. This revealed that Pakistan thought of messing with India but it chose the wrong ship to mess with.

Pakistan chose the wrong warship

Talking about the loss of its ship PNS Hunain due to Pakistani fault, its bow was heavily damaged and it had to return to port for repairs, while the Indian destroyer continued on its operational mission. The Ministry of External Affairs said that there was no structural damage to the Indian warship. Let us tell you that Kolkata class ship is one of the largest frontline ships of the Indian Navy.

Diplomatic tension between India and Pakistan
This collision in the Arabian Sea has created diplomatic tension between the two countries and both the countries have summoned each other’s diplomats. India said the Indian warship was on a routine surveillance mission in the North Arabian Sea when the Pakistani ship started pursuing it. Pakistan says its warship PNS Hunain was present in the area as part of Pakistan Navy’s ‘Sea Spark’ exercise.

However, it is reported that the Pakistani ship was moving fast in the Arabian Sea when it collided with the Kolkata class ship while attempting to pass too close. According to reports, PNS Hunain suffered a major dent and may have even developed a crack. OSINT account ‘War and Gore’ claimed that four people from Pakistan were injured in the incident. However, no official statement has come from Pakistan.
