Andaman Command Key To Checkmate China Strategy

[Mirza Jatt]

India to reinforce security in Andaman & Nicobar :: Brahmand.com

Its an old article. so does anybody know wether the su-30 operations in A&N has started or not ?? after tsunami su30 have flown only once from that base...didnt hear anything on that after that.

I like how they are so desperately trying to fight China. Seriously, why do you guys feel so proud? I mean, It's China, which shakes American Policy, you think it is so easy to play games with them just because IAF or IA or IN or ICG bought some cool new and expensive toys?

Why do you take China so seriously? DO you seriously think China can take on US when push comes to shove. If China and US seriously get to war, there is no way China would win. India is doing all it can to avoid any mis-adventure by Chinese. I don't see why not?

I could find two major lessons that A&N command can take from the falklands campaign.

1. Aircrafts armed with anti ship missiles is the most formidable threat that a naval task force can have.
--- Super Etanards with Exocet vis a vis Su 30 mki with Brahmos!


2.Aerial Early Warning is the key to fleet defence.
---Assets like P8i, phalcon, DRDO AWACS stationed in A&N.


I believe the enemy would not dispatch a task force to capture A&N (like the british did in FW). At least not before softening the naval strike ability of A&NC. This can be achieved by Aerial strike (but with crafts operating at extreme ranges) and/or cruise missile attack by submarines (safer and more effective option).

i had to respond to your sissy analysis.

I think you misunderstood me.
I"ll admit,i"ve a bad habit of seeing only the worst case scenario.So that we are prepared.

NO, we just think it's worth fighting when your sovereignty is at risk of being preyed upon and claimed by a foreigner. There isn't any another route left but to make your own move to prevent yourself from being obliterated by an opportunist, who loves to see your weakness to the point where they can be confident enough to obliged you.

For your concern, all i want to say is why are you being the most ignorant kid to represent yourself to be the most childish individual to present someones else's strategy against it's opponent, Which is being debated already by the concerned parties whom this issue should be debated among.

Please Look who is trying it's best to deflect any upcoming threat toward itself from itself being obliterated.

It's almost like bringing a b!t(h to a dog fight. So, keep your distance from something that isn't even, ain't got nothing to do with you.

AWACS are supposed to be operating safely inside Indian territory on both our Western and Eastern....exclusively for our air defense as an asset to our Air superiority fighters ( MKI's).....its been discussed several times that sending AWACS into unprotected territory is risky ( too valuable as force multiplier assets)......doubt the IAF would expose Palcons to enemy fire or anti - AWAC missiles ......

and given the number of surface combat ships of the IN operating in the IOR ....it appears that the only feasible way for a successful strike at India from the sea is through Submarines .....the chances of which are rapidly decreasing....once we induct Poseidons and RIP subs ( scorpenes ) which have anti- sub warfare capabilities......

any Chinese surface combat vessel is unlikely to venture into the IOR or Bay of B .....given the Presence of both the IAF & IN in numbers ......even with Chinese bases in Sri lanka & Bangladesh ( doubt if the Gwadar will ever be given to them for military uses ).....the Indian peninsula and the bases on it ( naval and AF) outmatch them in terms of ship /sub docking capability and fire power.......

I don't think this is correct, because IAF is indeed thinking about shore based AWACS to control the costs and sea lanes around the India. Don't see AWACS of detecting aircrafts only, it is also important to detect vessels at long ranges, so an AWACS in service from those islands is not a bad idea to cover the Bay of Bengal.

Exactly and that is the main threat for India from China imo! China is not stupid, they won't send a surface fleet to attack India that can be detected by radar, MPAs, sats even days before they arrive in our region. Subs instead, especially their SSBNs can't be detected that easy and can be operated from greater distances. P8Is are a good step in the right direction, but way too less for a real protection. What we need are way more subs and carriers that can operate at greater distances to counter their SSBNs, even if they are not in our direct neighborhood. IN should focus more on that than on LPDs!

If CoCo islands is a thraet for Andaman division it is more than a threat for CoCo islands given that the Andaman base lies in IOR,an IN dominated zone

But how many major surface combatants r currently present in Andaman and how many many squadrons r present there

but in the future it can b of great importance,we can station a CBG there with the added benefit of AEW systems DRDO is developing for carriers(but let them roll out first)

Phalcon does not need to b stationed there if we can provide 2 or 3 P8I exclusively for Andaman base,given it to have AEW capability

But a Chinese development that may b diluting the importance of Andaman base in the future will b Gwadar port,if we intend to compromise the Chinese oil lines through this base,they can easily divert their oil supply through Gwadar
