India targets Turkish shipyard over ties with Pakistan

NEW DELHI — For the first time, India is taking punitive action against an overseas defense company that could see Turkish firm Anadolu Shipyard banned from doing defense-related business in India.

The Turkish company’s defense ties with Indian rival Pakistan have grown recently, and the latest move could impact the Indian Navy’s $2 billion fleet support ships program, for which state-owned Hindustan Shipyard Limited has chosen Anadolu Shipyard as its technology partner.

An Indian Ministry of Defence official said the punitive action would bar Anadolu from carrying out any business with Hindustan because such a partnership could have grave consequences for India’s security.

Last week Anadolu launched the first of four anti-submarine corvettes for the Pakistan Navy, and the shipyard is expected to officially ink a partnership agreement with Hindustan under which would be built five fleet support ships for the Indian Navy.

“Involvement of [the] Turkish defense company will include overseeing construction, detailed manufacturing, engineering, selecting equipment, quality assurance, etc. This would mean a permanent presence of Turkish people at HSL yard. That is a big security risk,” a senior Indian Navy official said.

India’s Navy will direct Hindustan to immediately end ties with Anadolu, the official added.

Diplomats at the Pakistani Embassy in India were unavailable for comment, and Anadolu Shipyard executives declined to discuss the subject.

Anadolu was selected by Hindustan in January to provide the design and other technical assistance for building five fleet support ships. Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea was not selected because it reportedly refused to guarantee the ships would be built in India, a Hindustan executive explained.

The 45,000-ton fleet support ship’s would carry armaments, stores and other essential equipment to support other warships in naval operations, and therefore the designer would possess sensitive details of what the ship would carry, another Indian Navy official said.

Said a Ministry of External Affairs official: “India is cautious with any kind of [strategic] alliance with Turkey because [the latter] has very close ties with Pakistan."

India has not formalized defense cooperation with Turkey despite more than 70 years of diplomatic ties.

That's why Yoga was invented

India thinks that they can bully Turkey economically. They should have learnt from Trump and China. It's time for Turkey to close the deficit with India.

India tried to build a frigate and if i remember not wrong they are still working on that or it is finished. What was it?

Just so you know, we've designed & built destroyers, frigates, corvettes, subs, ACs and a range of naval vessels and a number of em are currently being built in our shipyards by public and private sector. For starters

INS Kolkata (destroyer)

INS Arihant (sub)

INS Vikrant under contruction (AC)

INS Kamorta (corvette)

Makar Class survey catamaran

VC11184 missile tracking and ocean surveillance ship

Sachi class OPVs

Mine countermeasure vessel

INS Nilgiri (frigate)

First up - no where did I claim that all systems are indigenous and there is no country which literally produces every single component in a weapons system. Indian Navy is the only branch which fields the most indigenous platforms and many of the sub-systems have also been designed and developed by us or through a JV. FYI the MILGEM class corvettes that Turkey is building for you which is essentially a derivative of Ada class has most of it's armament and FCS from the western world. This is applicable for many countries as well.

For instance, over 50 navies including Pak & Turkey use the Italian OTO melara as their main gun on many of their naval platforms.

The Australian Hobart class destroyers have been designed by Navantia of Spain but use GE and Caterpillar Engines, American Aegis combat system, Northrop Grumman Radar, Raytheon fire control system, L-3 Communications.

Support Ships or Tankers sounds simple, I know. But, no it is not. Koreans will win the tender.

You was implying that with pictures showing "indigenous" ships.

We dont claim to be a supa power.

Just read the headline and laugh.

In the world of the person writing that headline, India is a superpower that can target any country's commerce and defence.

 

[Yaseen1]

[Riz]

In response of Turkish remakes about kashmir.. India responded today with billions of yindus start pooping openly just to let the Turkish people know how stinky smelly they are..

Pakistan is proud of friendship with Turkey ( Elder brother of Pakistan ) . Turkey didnt accept Trump warnings in S 400 case n India thought they can bully Turkey . Pakistan is with Turkey on Cyprus n Armenia ( Azerbaijan issue too ) issues . We have a long history with Turkish brothers .
