Navy Deployed 11 Submarines - Record Broken? | Alpha Defense Hindi

India deploys 11 submarines, a first in nearly three decades This deployment by the Indian Navy Friday is a stark contrast to the submarine history of the last two decades that has seen the arm hit by dwindling strength, accidents and write-offs. A Scorpene class submarine of the Indian Navy |...

Indian Navy monitors Chinese vessels in Bay of Bengal amidst joint India-US 'Tiger Triumph' disaster relief exercise

No, at least in IOR, Indian Navy by far exceeds every great power in world except US.

This month's long range SLBM test likely to be postponed due to presence of Chinese missile tracking ship in Indian Ocean...

Problem is that you are out of the premises of defense sector, just watching how things happening till now and making an opinion on it. You even disregard here measured IAF/IN are taking on. Off course you may have worked in a mass manufacturing industry where forecasts are made for relatively...

I'm not going to argue anymore than. Regards

Have you ever been in shipbuilding or any other heavy fabrication industry?

That's a misplaced rant. Money is simply not there. Whatever money we have is a product of past 2 decades which has given us confidence to dream of producing indigenous weapons to substitute imports and make a big military at same time. The current state and modernization of military began only...

We can't do anything there. We don't have money like US & China and we can't afford to lose edge by producing same thing in large numbers. Though IAC-2 is an individual ship and project management will be better than IAC-1 due to experience. Insistence of new technologies only can delay program...

Lol what? It's a wishful rant. What is L&T's experience against GRSE in terms of frigates and destroyers? L&T will enter this business some day alone. But for now, they themselves gonna get any such project delayed for 10 years if contract given. In India's case, "it happens". Where ships...

And from where you will import warships then? Japan or South Korea? Delays happen sometimes in such projects due to technical slag, halt in supply chains or missed planning by someone or even fabrication delays. 7.5 years for first P17A is still not that bad as far as Indian standards are...

They will certainly patrol IOR always, though they won't be able to defeat Indian navy in IOR either after 2040 even if we account current position of Indian navy vis a vis, leave alone Indian navy in 2040s which would have double the number of ships it has today. Nor it would be an intelligent...

Looks like Russell Ash' WOF?

Since US effectively blocked THAAD to India until introduction of Indian ABM itself, that's enough for its reliability. It even closed GPS for India in Kargil war and its few major weapons in India like INS Jalashwa have conditions attached.

US has historically refuted multiple strategic weapons for India and came back with offer while India made its own alternatives. And as strings were attached, India's defense engagement with US is itself towards essential items and basic ammo mere.

Well no, supporting examples are fed in memory of every defense enthusiast. Over it, US history with such things hasn't been much supportive towards India.

Not really. Neither India's "sins" are radical enough to get sanctioned by US nor India is as much dependent on west for trade as much is being shown here. It's not just that market is diverse. West doesn't invest in India out of favour but since they get the best deal in India's case. The dire...

Actually if compared along build quality to cost ratio, Russian stuff sucks there too. It's simply overpriced from start, keeps getting its cost revised to 3-4 times of original throughout project and consumes more money in fuel consumption/maintenance wise. Our own limitations with regards to...

Russian equipment is famous for being overpriced and of inferior build quality what I've learnt so far from this forum and my own military circles. Russians always stretch projects and deals to mess them. Plus point is that they are only one provider.
