that was wartime. with wayyyyyy less resources than what india has right now, in peacetime. pure incompetence anyway you look at it.

Our Navy has a lot of old subs which become accident, prone, all big navies face accidents and this is what the crew is trained to tackle as accidents in such complex machines are bound to happen, this is a problem with all old and soviet era ships we have, the Indian ones are working fine without any issues yet.

Last time Chinese carrier engines failed at sea and has to be towed to the shore.

Chinese submarines often have leaks.

Yup according to 'sources' right? Last time I heard the Indian carrier boiler exploded? And the submarine had a hole blasted by own torpedo? Lol. These are not rumours ya

Care to show when the last time a Chinese carrier had "failed engines at sea and had to be towed to the shore". I don't remember in fact ANY such incident! They had indeed issues but never a carrier had to be towed to the shore.

It's a way to justify their incompetence... Lol
