No third Indian carrier, so looks like they will only have one operationally available, that too with a very limited air wing. IN was probably right in making sub a priority

For Navy, 6 nuclear-powered submarines take priority over 3rd aircraft carrier

India’s emphasis on submarines to counter China comes against the backdrop of Beijing raising its capacity to build a destroyer in just 5 years.

How long would these take? 30 years?

Within 12 years, we have got 2 Arihant Class submarines..

Next at least, we will get one SSN within 10 Years and within 20 Years at least 1 + 2 Submarines...

Arihant is no match for Type 095. Type 095 has pump jet. Only if India buy Khabarovsk attack submarine can India counter Type 095.

From Malabar 2020(Phase 1), nice shots of INS Shivalik with the Fregat M2EM 3D radar in action,the Super Rapid Oto firing some rounds, a few seconds of Chetak ahead of HMAS Ballarat but INS Sindhuraj gets the most screen time. Also nice to see the Seaking 42B in action.

Missed INS Ranvijay with the Revathi radar firing some rounds from the main gun

Research a bit first before spouting off. The Arihant is a SSBN. It doesn't have to match the Type 095. Lol

Come back when the design of the SSN is clearer so you can tell how it is inferior to what the Chinese have.

Interestingly enough the sister vessels (INS Teg/INS Tarkash/INS Trikand) decided to move back to the simple and effective AK-630 radar controlled guns

INS Tarkash img with both AK 630s visible
They also carry two MR-123 Bass Tilt radars(Each can individually control 2 or more AK-630s) so redundancy is there

India protests against U.S. naval exercise sans consent

U.S. defends its actions saying they were in compliance with international laws.

US Navy conducts exercise in India’s Exclusive Economic Zone without prior consent

The U.S. Navy said one of its warship carried out Freedom of Navigation Operation (FONOP) in Indian EEZ.

In a rare and unusual public statement, the U.S. Navy conceded that it had violated India’s maritime policy by conducting an exercise in India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

The US Navy said its warship carried out Freedom of Navigation Operation (FONOP) in Indian EEZ.

“USS John Paul Jones asserted navigational rights and freedoms approximately 130 nautical miles west of the Lakshadweep Islands, inside India’s exclusive economic zone, without requesting India’s prior consent, consistent with international law,” the U.S. Navy’s 7th fleet said in a statement dated April 7.

“India requires prior consent for military exercises or manoeuvres in its exclusive economic zone or continental shelf, a claim inconsistent with international law.”

This FONOP upheld the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea recognised in international law by challenging India’s excessive maritime claims, the statement said.

“We conduct routine and regular FONOPs, as we have done in the past and will continue to in the future. FONOPs are not about one country, nor are they about making political statements,” it added.

Commenting on the development, former Navy Chief Adm. Arun Prakash said on Twitter there was an irony in it. “There is irony here. While India ratified U.N. Law of the Seas in 1995, the U.S. has failed to do it so far. For the 7th Fleet to carry out FoN missions in Indian EEZ in violation of our domestic law is bad enough. But publicising it? USN please switch on IFF (Identification, friend or foe)!,” he said in a tweet.

The U.S. regularly conducts FONOPs against several countries challenging what it says are “excessive maritime claims” and FONOPs were regularly conducted against India too in the past.
