Indian Navy, The Silent Force-Multiplier

Disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops from the north and south banks of Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh may have begun but what if China attempts any misadventure in the maritime domain? It’s here that the Indian Navy, a potent force in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), comes in. Currently in the midst of its biggest war gaming exercise TROPEX, the Navy has displayed its prowess in the 1971 war and the Kargil conflict in 1999. But other than performing its duty as a military force, what does the Indian Navy do? In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale talks about the roles of the most ‘unseen’ of India’s three services.

The Navy is far more important than any increases in Army spending, and is the chief vehicle of leverage against China as well.

If India has to become a military superpower of any consequence, it has to expand its vision and start thinking beyond its immediate neighbourhood. Indian Navy would play a very crucial role in this.

[@dingdong9277]

India needs a blue water navy at the earliest..That's the only way to lead the IOR and the world, with maintaining peace..👏👊

[@rohit_62]

Thank you for briefing us about the roles and responsibilities of INDIAN NAVY. The videos which you make everyday are very helpful for my interview and SSB. And also to know it from the bottom with all details. It helps me understand International Relations more accurately (deeply). Thank you sir for your efforts.

[@dharma7766]

Nice work tech team.. looks much more professional now..

[@sachaadmi6203]

Aircraft carrier is a white elephant. We have a unsinkable 100 aircraft carriers in the 100 andamaan islands. Just put brahmos and nuclear missiles and anti ship missiles there . Militarise the islands with military bases . It's a cheaper option than expensive ships but just as effective and unsinkable

[@singhalmg]

Excellent briefing for a layman Nitin .Thank you

[@sanatbhate]

Sanat Bhate ​Indian Navy's growth in scope and assets has put strain on quality and training. We lost more assets due to carelessness and poor practices than enemy action in our naval history. How to improve quality and training?

[@JS-zc2jr]

Thanks a lot for this 🙏 @stratnewsglobal . Best Wishes 👍

[@surimenon9260]

Always Brilliant update... Thank you NITIN SIR JI.

[@anshul9462]

If India wants to become a power to reckon with we need on urgent basis to strengthen Navy and Air force. With navy on first priority.

[@anshul9462]

@Metallus Zorax The thing is we have to buy foreign weapons to match the technology differential and on the same hand we are investing a huge in developing Indigenous defence technology as well. If you follow development in India technology in defence you will come to know there are green shoots which are now visible in form of various startups in defence arena and various joint ventures between Indian and foreign companies. We are investing in technology transfer projects as well and these initiatives will show results in coming 6-8 years.

[@anshul9462]

@Metallus Zorax Tejas is not Junk. Tejas is an LCA and Among LCAs of world it is one of the best. Arjun I agree is not better compared to peers and Arihant is our first attempt to nuclear powered submarine and is good. Very few countries can boast of developing nuclear powered submarine. But these are all made by state owned companies. You have not noticed products coming out of our Private defence companies. I think either yoy dont follow latest updates or you are an India hater.

[@shraysemwal9200]

Yes we need more information about Indian Navy ... Please do make more such videos

In the present situation against China,there is a small lake and wherever waters are present and require to be guarded the Indian Navy is called for,high quality speed boat with trained soldiers and equipment is necessary, not only in Sea but Naval Commandos also play a good role when deployed at China Border. I think the quantity of boats patrolling the small lakes across the border areas must increase.Regards

[@goldyouseph5835]

Awsome

[@ganeboosteed6807]

Proud to be naval brat

[@milindspradhan1629]

Hello again ,Although the withdrawal of tanks of both countries have started,as of today 14 Feb 2021,the patrolling of boats on Pangong lake must increase quantity vise and frequency vise for there are restrictions of movement on both armies on road . Regards. Indian Navy has to increase patrolling strength with high tech equipment

[@prabhakarrao4142]

Good Job Nitin. Today we lost confidence on main stream media like NDTV because of false propaganda against Nation, Culture and tradition.

true, but ICG's charter mostly restricts it to Indian coastal zone and EEZ. Navy performs constablary missions away such ad Somalia and Persian Gulf
