The Indian Navy is “fully capable” of defending the country against any threat, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday after she reviewed the navy’s maritime prowess. The Minister presided over India’s show of naval might, off the western coast on Monday and Tuesday, in which more than 10 warships, including aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, three submarines and various types of naval aircraft participated in operational manoeuvres, an official statement said.

Sitharaman initially embarked on INS Kolkata, the first of the indigenously built Kolkata Class destroyers, and then spent the night at sea on board INS Vikramaditya. To assess the performance of the carrier in “real conditions”, she transited through a simulated “multi-threat” environment on board along with the ship’s escorts during Monday night.

Good to see her familiarising herself with our weapon platforms.

Now she has two more projects at hand:

1. Deep dive in a submarine.
2. Take a flight on the SU-30.

As an aside, the Congis and their poodles like the SP and NC lambasted PM Modi for appointing a woman as a defence minister instead of a 'tough man'. Oh well, here's Congress tough man who was India's defence minister not so long ago.....
