Just look at the map and see for yourself who all will be pissed with imec.

I still have doubt that , how does unloading the container in UAE , then loading it back at the west of Saudi Arab seem a cost effective ? ,

. 1.Time saved truck should be faster .
2. There is a cost associated with increased tensions, longer detour via cape of good hope - increased fuel, increased insurance, increased risk batta to seamen. Premium charged by ship owners for risks. Armed guards on board.

Even if sea lanes are patrolled there is a cost associated with providing that safety.


Anyway logistics and shipping lines will settle down for easier safer cheaper options.

With vast mahasagar surrounding us and lakshadweep and andamans it's imperative for us to have military amphibious aircrafts. For nimble and fast reaction ,s&r , small force insertion,Dhow /MV boarding.

There is no doubt we need more boats to patrol eez and beyond ,that pack a punch to deter enemies of the state.

Much nearer to coast ,there was increased coastal police presence with patrol boats and coastal police station, what is their current status.

Of course there could be a railway component as well.

Coastal police is defunct and in bad shape.

Even after 26/11 we have not learned anything.

It looks like US Navy under President Biden has failed to stabilise the Red Sea and counter the threats from the Houthis.

This week almost 300 ships with a total capacity of 4.3 million containers have changed course avoiding the Red Sea route.

That is about 18% of global shipping capacity.

Economic impact

"Freight charge to Yemen has now increased to $2,400 per container from $850 earlier; freight rates to Jeddah have jumped from $300 per container to $1,500 now"

Bhai to protect ships against houthis , you will need men with heavy weaponry on each ship .
Like a couple of carl gustavs , similarly manpads to counter those Helis and hmg mounts for suppresive fire.

"The #Yemeni government and the #Houthi rebels have agreed to a new ceasefire and commit to a UN-led peace process to end the conflict"


This happened a few days back.

 

[hurrians]

"Houthi-controlled ports of Hodeidah and Salif. Yemen imports well over 90% of its food and a majority of the imports arrive via Hodeidah. Duties and taxes arising from the port are an important source of revenue for the Houthis."

"A considerable portion of the Houthis’ arms and materiel comes from what Saudi Arabia and the UAE provide to their proxies in Yemen. Many of these Saudi and Emirati supported militias sell weaponry into Yemen’s thriving arms market where the Houthis or their agents buy the weapons."

Like I said the matter will be resolved by parties involved, our prioritiy should be our preparedness and response.

Lack of anti-drone equipment on warships poses challenge while guarding waters

Gora sahib is successfully stopping the drones at longer distance but as per reports he is spending million dollar missile most probably 'standard missile 2' for thousand dollar drones.

at closer distance ciws can help ,but need low cost drone Busters at longer safer distances.
