Default Possible national hostilities

I've kinda been getting bored with the US vs someone-else scenarios since the US ships almost exclusively have the advantage. So I've been looking for possible conflicts involving other nations that have playable platforms in DW/RA.

Right now I'm trying to design an Iranian Kilo (RA) vs Israel scenario and its proving quite interesting. Israel has a far superior navy, but their surface ships don't have very good ASW defenses. Only their Sa'ar 5 class corvettes carry sonar, and these ships carry one somewhat limited helo each. This totals 3 sonar capable ships and 3 ASW choppers (realistically it would probably be more like 2 and 2). I really don't believe Iran has any credible ASW capability, but one of their Kilos could put a serious hurt on an Israeli SAG, with mines, torpedoes or even missiles these days.

But I'm looking for other scenarios to play with and my imagination seems to be on hold at the moment. India could be a possibility against Pakistan or even China. China itself is another possibility, but other than Taiwan or minor territorial disputes, I can't come up with credible military engagements. I'm at a complete loss as to any scenarios involving and European powers that wouldn't involve the US too.

I really wish RA had made more non NATO/Russian platforms playable since I see these 3rd party conflicts as being far more dynamic and unpredictable. But considering the platforms we have available, do any of you have any ideas? I'd like them to be at least vaguely credible, but I'm all for unlikely situations.
