In RL any chance for a Kilo skipper to survive after attacking a Chinese task force?

Just played a scenario titled killer Kilo with DWX mod installed.

Playing as an Indian Kilo skipper patrolling near Andaman island. The Chinese task force escorting a few landing crafts were the targets.

In the end I exhausted all my torpedoes
and sank
A Chinese oiler which was part of the task force
A Luda frigate
A Yuting class landing craft
Damaged a Jiangwei Frigate
Damaged a Chinese supply ship

But my egress out of the threat zone was like escaping the lion's den. Once I wreaked havoc among the Chinese ships from 3nmi distance the remaining ships converged on me! A Chinese Kilo which was part of the escort but took a position quite far away from the main task force even converged on me.
I was helpless I dodged about 4 torpedoes before the final one got me.

All I can say is that it was a hell of a fight and evasion.

I'm wondering in RL how much a chance a Kilo skipper would have to survive a Chinese task force counterattack. The Chinese had a Sovremenny DDG, 2 LUDA I, 1 to 2 Jiangwei and a Kilo. I just think every time a Kilo exposed itself after attacking or launching its torpedoes it became very vulnerable to enemy counter attack. It's almost like the Kilo were a disposable sub that you trade after inflicting as much damage to enemy task force.
Against one or two enemy ships the Kilo could probably defend itself but 3 or more then the odds are starting to go against it.

My compliment to the DWX modders as I watched numerous times the smart actions of the enemy ships(only showed truth on after attacking and turned it off whenever a torpedo was coming, I just couldn't resist to see the all action) as they hunted me down much like smoking a rat out of the its hole nest. They were sure very persistent. I was thinking please give me a break all the time....lol
