The TEDBF CGI art is really off. The nose is actually much bigger and the canopy more proportionately small. Plus the landing gear on the real TEDBF is TALL..not like the one in the CGI.

It looks good, though. Very "Rafalish-like". Is there a more accurate illustration of what it looks like? I do see your point about the radome looking way too small and certainly the oversized cockpit canopy. BTW, how do you fellas like the new avatar pic? One of the best MiG-21 pics I've seen and you can imagine how many this kid has seen lol.

On December 9, 1971, during the Indo-Pakistani War, the Indian Navy's frigate INS Khukri was sunk by the Pakistani submarine PNS Hangoroff the coast of Diu, Gujarat. This incident marked a significant event in naval warfare and had profound implications for both nations involved.

Key Details:​

1. Attack Overview:
   • PNS Hangor, a Daphné-class submarine, successfully launched multiple torpedoes at INS Khukri. Reports indicate that Khukri was struck by at least two torpedoes, leading to catastrophic damage and its eventual sinking.
   • The attack occurred around 8:55 PM, and within minutes, the frigate sank, taking with it 18 officers and 176 sailors, including its commanding officer, Captain Mahendra Nath Mulla.
2. Captain's Valor:
   • Captain Mulla is remembered for his bravery; he reportedly chose to go down with his ship rather than abandon it. His actions earned him a posthumous Mahavir Chakra, India's second-highest military decoration for valor.
3. Operational Context:
   • At the time of the sinking, INS Khukri was part of a task force engaged in anti-submarine warfare operations in the Arabian Sea. The Indian Navy had been actively hunting for enemy submarines following the commencement of hostilities on December 3, 1971.
   • The sinking of INS Khukri was one of the first instances where a modern submarine successfully engaged and sank a surface warship during this conflict.
4. Aftermath and Significance:
   • The loss of INS Khukri represented a significant blow to the Indian Navy and highlighted vulnerabilities in naval operations against modern submarines.
   • Following the incident, rescue operations were launched, but only a few survivors were recovered from the wreckage. The tragedy underscored the dangers faced by naval forces during wartime.
5. Memorialization:
   • In honor of those lost on INS Khukri, a memorial was inaugurated on December 15, 1999, at Chakratirth beach in Diu. This memorial serves as a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the crew members.

Conclusion:​

The sinking of INS Khukri remains a poignant chapter in Indian naval history and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The incident not only impacted naval strategies in future conflicts but also solidified Captain Mulla's legacy as a symbol of courage and dedication within the Indian Navy.
