India will take out China's arrogance in the Indian Ocean, deployed 35 warships and 11 submarines, something big is about to happen...
In view of the increasing activity of China in the Indian Ocean and the terror of pirates, India has taken a big step. India has deployed a record 11 submarines in the Indian Ocean and surrounding areas, carrying out a major operation in the waters. Along with this, the Indian Navy has also deployed 35 warships, which are continuously conducting surveillance and patrolling operations.
5 aircraft have also been deployed in the maritime area, so that air support can be provided immediately if needed. In recent years, China has strengthened its presence in the Indian Ocean region. Under the pretext of various activities, China has been continuously sending naval ships, satellite trackers and submarines to this area. Now India has also taken a big step towards strengthening its position.
In a significant step, the Indian Navy has deployed 11 conventional submarines simultaneously for operations for the first time in three decades. According to media reports, this deployment is in complete contrast to Indian submarine history in the last two decades.
The last time Indian submarines were deployed in large numbers together was in the early 1990s. At that time the Indian Navy had deployed 8 Russian Kilo-class, four HDW (German) and four Russian Foxtrot submarines. Let us tell you that India currently has 16 conventional submarines.
These include five Scorpion-class (French), four HDW (German) and seven Kilo-class (Russian) submarines. Another Scorpion class submarine is awaiting commissioning. In this way, by next year India will have 17 conventional submarines.
What did the Chief of Naval Staff say?
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R. Hari Kumar has confirmed this posting. He said, 'Currently 11 submarines, 35 warships and five aircraft are in operation in the sea. Of these, 10 warships are deployed in the Western Seaboard and they will continue to operate until this entire area is secure. Its objective is to ensure safe movement of commercial vessels.
Let us tell you that in the last few months, the outbreak of Somalian pirates on the Suez Canal has increased considerably. Incidents of missile attacks on commercial ships have also come to light. In view of security concerns, many commercial ships have stopped sailing on this route. Now the route of Cape of Good Hope is being adopted. This route is quite long.
