Vessels from UAE and Saudi ports also targeted, as UAE is a major transhipment port for Bharath again it should be of concern to us.

This is what "Net security provider in IOR" looks like.

Viswaguru Syndrome shouldnt plague us.

A good reference point would be how many ships PLAN had when they had a similar GDP to ours and how many they were producing in their shipyards.

We don't need to be "net security provider", but at least protect our interests in our backyard.

I believe we will see more mobilization of IN assets in Arabian sea in the coming weeks.

A limited conflict is actually better for the country & economy. It polishes the armed forces, keeps them on the toes & gives them valuable experience, while on the same time generates jobs & manufacturing orders for local industries.

USA has been using periodic wars to train, test and improve their armed forces since WW2, while also growing their MIC. IN has been sitting idle since 1971, this will give them some real-life experience.

We can fight in the water or we can take it to the enemy land or pray gora sahib will fight for us.

Fight for credible minimum deterrence. So that we are not singled out as easy targets to be bullied upon.

Houthis have suicide drones that can travel so far and strike?

 

[hurrians]

See this

Americans are claiming the one way attack drone was fired from persia itself. If true attack at just 200 nm near Gujarat coast is worrisome , maybe a need to remember recent strategic partnership between chicomese and the Persians.

There are theories that they might have used somali pirate ships to fire the drones
