India, Australia to hold first-ever naval drills to counter China in Indian Ocean
By Reuters | 26 Aug, 2015, 01.47PM IST
Post a Comment
NEW DELHI: India and Australia will hold their first ever joint naval drills next month, as the two countries seek to deepen defence ties and counter China's growing sway in the Indian Ocean.
The maritime exercises, to be held in the Bay of Bengal off India's eastern coast next month, will include anti-submarine warfare and coordinated anti-submarine drills, the Australian High Commission in Delhi said in a statement.
The Indian Ocean is fast emerging as a new arena of competition between China and India as New Delhi tries to regain its position as the dominant maritime power in what it views as its backyard.
China shocked India last year with two submarine visits to Sri Lanka's commercial port in Colombo. The island nation's general election this month returned a government friendly to India and the West, cementing a shift that followed the election of a new president in January.
David Brewster, a security expert at the Australian National University, said the Chinese submarine activity had served as a "wake-up call" that India needed to work more closely with other navies.
"We are seeing right across Asia many countries realising the importance of submarines," he told Reuters.
"India knows that it needs to build up its capacity in submarines and particularly anti-submarine warfare. It's an area where both (India and Australia) can learn a lot from each other."
India is also set to take part in joint naval exercises with Japan and the United States in October, the first such event in eight years.
Australia said it would send a frigate, tanker, submarine and a Lockheed AP-3C maritime surveillance aircraft to join the Indian navy for the bilateral exercises in September.
An Indian Navy spokesman said four of its ships, as well as a Boeing P-8 Poseidon spy plane, would take part in the week-long drills that start on Sept. 12.

White colour is great reflector of heat and thus keeps away the wrath of sun and person remains cool in openness of sea.

Equally significant were approvals for the purchase of four additional Boeing P8I maritime reconnaissance aircraft for $690 m, and induction of a regiment of the new BrahMos steep dive cruise missile in the Indian Army for deployment against mountainous targets at a cost of $645 m. Decks were cleared for the follow-on order for the Boeing P8I with the approval of deviations in offsets. The order will be in exercise of the options clause for the earlier $2.1 b contract for eight of these state-of-the-art Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance aircraft (LRMR).
The highest defence procurement body also gave a go-ahead for new weapon and sensor suites for six Delhi and Talwar class warships at a cost of $457 m, an indication that these frontline warships will soon be headed for major mid-life upgrades. The Kashmir Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) will be replaced by the more contemporary Russian Shtil SAMs. The associated radars will also be upgraded. Besides, the existing Fregat ME radar will be replaced by more up to date Fregat M2EM to beef up the war fighting capabilities of the Delhi and Talwar class.
Three more approvals aggregating $208 m have been made for modernisation and upgrade of warships, ranging from new combat management systems for 23 ships to replacement of radar for six Kora and Veer class missile boats. The Positive E radar on these missile boats will be replaced by the Israeli Elta AMDR 2D.

Women officers of Indian Navy should get permanent commission: Delhi HC | Zee News
Last Updated: Friday, September 4, 2015 - 20:13
New Delhi: In a major relief for women naval officers, Delhi High Court Friday allowed a bunch of pleas seeking permanent commission for them in the force, saying "sexist bias and service bias" would not be allowed to block progress of women.
The court, while granting their plea, said the "women are here to stay" and since they "work shoulder to shoulder" with their male counterparts, it would "frown upon any endeavour to restrain the progress of women".
While the Army and Air Force allow permanent commission for women, the Navy has limited women officers only to short service commission of 14 years.
A bench of justices Kailash Gambhir and Najmi Waziri also allowed the women naval officers' plea seeking retirement benefits like pension.
Women naval officers were not eligible for pension as it required 20 years of service.
The order came on the plea of several naval women officers, both retired and serving, from the logistics, education and air traffic control departments of the Navy.
The women naval officers in their pleas in the high court had sought similar rights as their counterparts in the other two wings of the armed forces.
They had also alleged gender discrimination, saying while women officers were only entitled to short service commission, men were entitled to both short service as well as permanent commissions.
