In this video, we analyze the maritime tactics of India. We talk about what India should put their primary focus on.
Sea denial is a maritime strategy aimed at preventing an adversary from using the sea for their own purposes. It involves denying or disrupting the opponent's ability to control or access maritime areas, denying them freedom of movement, and limiting their operational capabilities. Sea denial strategies are typically employed by weaker naval powers against stronger adversaries.
Sea dominance, on the other hand, refers to a maritime strategy aimed at establishing and maintaining control over the seas, allowing a nation to project power, protect its interests, and exert influence in the maritime domain. Sea dominance strategies are typically employed by stronger naval powers to secure their maritime interests and deter potential adversaries.
We talk at length about various related concepts and the shortcomings of the current strategy.

Aircraft carriers have a point they are not useless. Aircraft carriers are always used along with a number of destroyers and frigates nobody sends them alone. Remember they are assets to be used in war not just tools for diplomatic moves. Considering that and how Aircraft carriers and all the other classes of vessels work in unison. We cannot outrightly reject the need for Aircraft carriers surely they should be the 2nd preference but understand that an Aircraft carrier is never used solely one need to have more destroyers to protect the AC and simultaneously attack the enemy. The problem is we don't have enough destroyers and frigates that could offer us to work with Aircraft carriers. Coming on to requirements that the Army gives well it's based on the Indian conditions. The example where the abhijit Iyer sir compared that to a phone with bigger mechanicals there is always scope for more fabrication to suit ones needs.

[@Chunchukiran]

Entire carrier battle group without a single mine laying and sweeping vessel would be like a carpet bombing of naval assets and sailing soldiers in mid sea.

@@Chunchukiran I may have forgotten about mentioning mine sweepers in my comment so sorry for that but I never meant to outrightly reject them I think it just slipped from my mind. But you get what I am trying to say ACs are there to work for bigger operations alongwith other class vessels including minesweepers. All I am pointing out that the way abhijit Iyer sir is outrightly ousting out the need of aircraft carriers is also wrong. And that's because he is seeing even the assets and tools of war as a diplomatic tool ONLY. India is not a country which uses defence assets to pressurize someone, surely we should be ready for that and even for that job more destroyers and frigates and as you said minesweepers and subs are required. It is true an Aircraft carrier is the most vulnerable but they always operate alongwith all the other class vessels that makes the navy overall more effective. I'll conclude and say that surely we need subs and minesweepers and also more destroyers. On what abhijit Iyer sir said about buying 24 25 ships of a same class I agree on that. Like buying 24 25 subs of one class and then destroyers and frigates and minesweepers etc.

[@manthenvashishth3769]

@@lautheimpaler4686 well I didn't mean to say that. What I am saying is that in above excerpt abhijit Iyer sir says that aircraft carriers are not useful. But you can't take an asset of navy which exists only to be used by other classes of vessels. What I am saying is if you always consider aircraft carriers in isolation they are always vulnerable. But they exist for a reason and that is to be a foundation of a larger fleet alongwith high numbers of destroyers, frigates,corvette and minesweepers as my friend above pointed out. Ab CM ko akele consider karoge to wo vulnerable hi h but when he works woth all other ministers and IAS IPS and other bureaucrats no one can stop him na. That is what I am saying

I was a ASWI ( Anti submarine warfare Instructor) and I agree with Abhijit the guest. There is no ship who can proceed and kill a submarine. Aircraft carrier is a white elephant and needs at least one submarine and 2 frigate to protect white elephant. India should go for at least 40 submarine and forget about aircraft carrier. I had said enough but can;t say more but navy should go for more deadly weapon. Abhijit may sound funny but he is right on spot. I am holding because of security reason.

[@garuda3935]

I never thought about countering AIM and Chavda sir slightest. But as an material engineer and defence nerd for decades I have to disagree on several points. Modern aircraft carriers are very difficult to sink by design. And unlike the US or China, our carriers exists to safeguard two costs plus one for emergency duty. While I agree we should have focused on one class of maritime asset, but downside of that strategy is, if secrets are leaked then all of our assets will be compromised all of a sudden overnight and we will be able do nothing at all. I have so much respect for you guys, still it feels bad to counter you guys.

[@devilish2136]

[@RohanSharmacap]

Yaa I agree with too much focus on a certain Maritime Assets but telling to put importance on Aircraft carriers is both lack of basic Economics and mobility, Aircraft carriers are the Big Giants that will be the centre of attack each time a Naval attack takes place, they can’t even do basic mobile operations much like Frigates or Corvette or Submarines can do, they will be used to take heavy attacks and that is it, no matter be it Land, Air or Water, since Ancient times Mobility and ability to implement quick attacks matters a LOT

[@Revealed2705]

that guy seems like a rajeev gandhi fan throw him away

[@garuda3935]

@@RohanSharmacap I am not sure if you are trying to counter me or start an argument that will prove nothing. Mobility is not for ACs, unless those are equipped with nuclear reactors. There are only few of them at present. Second, an AC does not operate alone. ACs always operate with a strike group that comes with corvettes, destroyers, submarines and AC's own fighter jets and Early warning system along with SatNav. As AIM claimed that Emirati pilots can take out Vikrant, I'd like to point out unless Emiratis are sending 220 planes that is about 5 squadrons of F-16s or a minimum 120, that is 3 squadron, there is a limited chance of doing extensive damage to Vikrant. And Emiratis are going to lose nearly half of their strength. You can check this out yourself. Math checks out here, not the semantics and speculation. Finally, no one is asking to focus on ACs. Our focus is so far balanced. Whatever we are producing are safeguarded by other assets. If China is playing Go, then we are playing chess. If China is focusing on numbers, then our focus on denial and counter-attack. We no longer live in an era where having a statistics of number or economical number in your side means you are the clear winner. War is always dynamic. To predict it is tomfoolery. Even if China outnumber us 3 to 1 in maritime assets.

Sea denial is the same strategy China used because it is cheaper in so many regards and also simpler to learn to utilize potential strategies, and instead of expensive aircraft carriers you can use air power from land to back up navy vessels close to land. To extend range of air crafts for support farther out, building and developing sea planes and a long range interceptor/fighter like the J-20 would allow for sufficient coverage in the Indian Ocean.

if Gotaland class submarine(AIP) is only 100 million, why are we paying more than 500 mil for scorpene without AIP ??

[@AmarKrGupta-ys1gu]

It's not like "mujhe ye accha nhi lga sir" it's about what's requirement for their task Ex. you can't use your phone to PC work PS : If you know what you need it is for better then using other countries predesign equipments for their needs and requirement thanks for podcast

Ok mr but when its reload time on destroyer fleet you need air support for forward reporting of strategy, submarines cant keep firing brahmos at the bomber or destroyer cant keep full ammo on guns, they need a reload time of 40 minutes or more which will be done manually, the support is provided by the jets on the carrier during which they can reload or vice versa, the destroyers protect each other and the carrier, here what you missed is ac carriers carry food and supplies higher than submarines and medical supplies this can be used if someone on board gets injured, what is currently needed is a catobar carrier which can have awacs systems on it increasing surveillance ability.

Instead of aircraft carriers we should focus on our unsinkable islands we have......

Wow! I just got to know that I have more knowledge about the defence sector than these two

[@ravikumarsingh7075]

But Israel got F-35i from USA, has special modification just like what they want for own purposes. Then how do you say India doesn't ask such things.

[@prajwalkalangutkar1635]

Us won ww2 in the sea because it has mighty 4 air craft carrier man😄😄

[@astroash1222]

#askabhijit why do we call the two destructive wars the world wars, shouldn't it be called the European war. Should we consider teaching them as European war or the war in the west in our textbooks?

Alpha defence writing his script for diss...😂

[@raw3165]

Hi Abhijits, Subodh Sharma of Alpha Defense is dissing most of your arguments on defense related issues. Counter him immediately or tender an apology for sharing incorrect information. Unless ofcourse you decide to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich.

We as strong Nations require both submarine and with same importance aircraft carrier.both essential. This is basic requirements

[@lakshmineuroscience]

Underwater drone swarms with under sea bed silent havens are needed. All these ships are obsolete in near future. One weakness in submarine can be

We don't have enough money for all sectors. The huge increase in population is the reason for that. I don't know why government is not worried about it?. Government should provide free contraceptives in each and every corner of india. Otherwise the poverty in India will increase😑😒

[@Sir_Realist]

Whether Bharat should invest in aircraft carriers should be about Defense strategy, need and economics. The Navy will always lobby for aircraft carriers because it will create a need for aircraft. The Navy should be asked to provide a single scenario that will need multiple aircraft carriers to defend Bharat from an enemy attack.

Android won't agree with it.....does he even know what Android is? He definitely doesn't have any technical background but talks with confidence ,throws technical terms, provides technical solutions. He definitely has confidence of Rahul Gandhi.

Sir... Said that Android & iOS can't be put together... Submarines are same class are logical Chinese did the same

Australian submarine deal with France was not for Nuclear submarine; further you cannot talk of nuclear and AIP for the same submarine. Secondly, the AIP of France is based on sterling engine, which is not as good as the one which India has, which is Fuel Cell based and quieter, Further, Aircraft carrier and Nuclear Submarine are not mutually exclusive. Submarine heavy fleet worked for Russia, because the sea around Russia is very different and sheltered thus not congenial to long range anti-ship attacks and long-range naval attach. Aircraft carrier are not meant for land attack role (USA does it because they can achieve total air dominance), these roles are for missile boats. Aircraft carriers create an area of air denial in sea that is not possible with anti-aircraft capabilities of ships; latter are more of point defense system (protecting a fleet of ships). 1971 war is not a good example, as India did not have submarine and anti-submarine defense; even then INS Vikrant bombed Chittagong as well as did a naval blockade of East Pakistan, denying then critical resupply and ending the war faster. Quantity of Chinese Aircraft Carriers should not worry India so much as China would never commit all (or even majority) of it's Carrier resources to Indian ocean leaving South China Sea and Eastern Pacific unguarded. Further, the next choke point would be Malaka Strait. India does need to worry of max 2-3 Chinese Aircraft carriers in India Ocean that they might have had positioned in it's bases in Indian Ocean (Djibouti) before start of conflict. That is why India needs 3-4 of its own; which coupled with Brahmos II would be act as strong deterrence from Chinese Aircraft Carriers. Further, it's not possible to shrink Brahmos significantly, while maintaining the range and surface/sea launch capability. Brahmos NG is only air launched (initial lift & thrust provided by aircraft) and is limited to 290km as against 500+ range of naval variant

I think aircraft carrier are not that useless because air power is an essential need to win on any battlefield.

[@ciamodikabaap3980]

Dude, are you listening?? He said first you have to make your defence stronger only then its aircraft carriers are useful in battle. Otherwise, you to have to hide it in battle from the enemy & make comments like invincibility to just satisfy your people through the media.

[@chavindraster]

I like the way this fellow Abhijit Mitra talks as an expert. He knows not his arse from his elbow on Naval matters. There is nothing like Sea Dominance. The concept is sea denial and sea control. Even sea control is a moving area in which for the time under consideration a force is able to exercise control on surface, sub surface and air in the area. Aircraft carriers are meant for power projection and secondly, the air defence of the fleet. He is also talking about submarines of which he has no clue.
