Indian Designs and Capacity
By Rizwan Razi
Being the citizen of sub continent, I am frightened, really frightened. I am frightened not only about the future of my children but also about the ecological life of this region. Reason is very solid. I have scanned through the Indian media that on August 12, 2013 after the explosion and subsequent fire inside the INS Sindhurakshak (submarine of Indian Navy). This incident occurred at a navy dock in Mumbai which is considered to be a major setback for the Indian navy.
It is worth mentioning that on Aug; 10, 2013, India activated its nuclear reactor on its first indigenously built submarine, and two days later showcased its first homegrown aircraft carrier. The Sindhurakshak, whose name means protector of the ocean, was a Russian-built Kilo class submarine that returned to Mumbai earlier this year after a $133 million refit at a shipyard in Russia. While going down the drain, this submarine also caused major loss to the another submarine, parked next to it. The damaged submarine also reported to have lost its sailability.
In the meanwhile, Rahul Bedi, an analyst and correspondent for a Singapore based Janes Defense Weekly, said the sinking of submarines was a major blow to the countrys naval ambitions, with only about half the sanctioned number of submarines were available with Indian navy. Indias navy has a fleet of 15 submarines, including 10 diesel-electric vessels similar to Sindhurakshak.
India inducted a Russian-built nuclear-powered attack submarine into its navy at a cost of $900 million in 2012 that allows longer missions and a faster response to threats. The rest of the submarines are more than a decade old, with half of the fleet commissioned in the 1980s.
It must be noted here that the said Indian submarine is nuclear fuel fired vassals, roaming around Pakistans coastal borders. In a bid to keep an eye on the oil and strategic movement of China from Gulf through Indian and Arabian oceans, it is highly possible that the location of this submarine must be somewhere between Gawadar and Karachi, in the international waters.
This means they are just 15-45 nautical miles away from the shores of Balouchistan and Sindh, two major provinces of Pakistan. Now the million dollar question is that in case of any such untoward incidents in any of these nuclear fired sub marine, Pakistan may become an ultimate (and of course an innocent) sufferer because 15-45 nautical miles are not a big game for dissemination of atomic radiations when it would be detonated accidently as per the traditions, capability and capacity of Indian Naval officers.
In this perspective, every sensitive Pakistani is much concerned about his/her safety and feeling a permanent life threat especially when these mobile nuclear arsenals are in such an irresponsible, incapable and non professional hands.
I would request Indian government to, please compromise on the health, education and hunger of its most poor masses a bit more and invest in better training and capacity building of their Naval Officers. Its not a joke but a question of lives of millions of people living at the coastal cities of India and Pakistan. And above all its about the health of our children are to land in this universe.
