My Uncle's (My Dad's Older Brother) one-time commanding officer was the same guy who was the captain of the Khukri, he deliberately chose to go down with the Ship since some of his crew had been killed in the torpedo attack and he felt it wouldn't be right for him to escape when some of those under his command had died. He went down the Khukri, apparently, he refused to be dragged off by his crew who wanted to save him and chose to go down with the ship. Apparently, he was last seen by his crew, reading a newspaper as the ship went down. Mahendra Nath Mulla was a very colorful character, my Uncle had some interesting stories about him.

Peer to peer? Pakistan's navy was nowhere near parity with the Indian navy. All of what's written above conveniently ignore that this happened when Pakistan was embroiled in a bloody civil war where the country's majority population (Bengalis) was fighting the minority population (West Pakistanis did not constitute Pakistan's majority population). Being armed with the top of line Soviet war material (while Pakistan was reeling under the US military sanctions) and having a numerical advantage of 15:1 in the Eastern theatre (Manekshaw himself accepted), the conception of a country that was 1,000 km away from West Pakistan inhabited by the majority population of united Pakistan (Bengalis) and manned by a mere REGULAR military strength of 45,000. Do also shed some light on 1962 when a region the size of Switzerland was liberated by the Chinese in a swift conflict where nothing was stopping the PLA from even whisking away Arunachal (South Tibet), not the Indian army at least.

[@muhtasimfahmid7844]

Great presentation. I look forward to seeing more. I understand why Captains want to go down with the ship, but I would think there’d be standing orders against it.

Standing orders should be against such a decision

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

Nowadays there are orders against that. But in 71 things were different.

[@-VOR]

There ARE such orders. A captain is supposed to be the last person off the ship. That doesn't mean you have to go down with the ship. It means that as the captain of a sinking ship you are responsible for getting people off of that ship until it's no longer possible to rescue anyone else. You are then entitled to save yourself.

Why INS Kukri was not manoeuvring in any way for so long in light of a known sub attack on INS Kirpan is mind-boggling. Were the two ships out of comms/LOS and it didn't know, or was the Captain simply that negligent?

[@rajatdani619]

Ins Kirpan also Dodged the Torpedo Just by Hard maneuvering the Ship. The Khukri had Sonar issue and I think one of its Boiler also didn't worked well.

[@soumyaranjanmohapatra4862]

After the attack on INS kirpan, INS khukri changed course, increased speed and came rushing towards the last known position of PNS hangor to press for an attack but PNS hangor had a sonar that outranged INS khukri's own sonar, which resulted in PNS hangor detecting INS khukri first and they knew it's heading towards them so they changed mode and fired torpedo towards the incoming but unsuspecting khukri, INS khukri's sonar was technologically inferior to the sonar of PNS hangor, couple it with the fact that khukri's sonar required it to move slowly for it to work properly and it resulted in INS khukri detecting the incoming torpedo too late and with such short range the ship failed to maneuver and avoid the torpedo, Later the Indian Navy's inquiry also found that the ship had not followed the Indian Navy's anti submarine doctrine properly

[@rajgogoi2178]

The Indian frigate had sonar range of only 5 km. That too effective while slowing the ship. Pak sub was latest one with modern sonar of its time range of 25 km. Both Indian frigates were of no match to the pak sub

[@VosperCDN]

@@soumyaranjanmohapatra4862 That would be a more reasonable reaction/outcome than was was depicted here.

[@vidco2467]

INS Khukri definitely made mistakes...

[@Eboreg2]

I remember trying to repeat this success in Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations. Efforts were fairly hampered by the fact that the Indian frigates were just as fast as the Pakistani torpedoes but they kept trying to dodge side-to-side allowing the torpedoes to catch up eventually.

[@Meatful]

I’d love to see more regional conflicts from around this time period

[@Meatful]

Maybe a battle or series of battle from the Rodhesian bush war? They had devastating tactics

[@claymore993]

You failed to mention 2 of events in PNS Hangor's records: Hangor fired a torpedo towards Kirpan when it was coming for rescue of Kukri, a loud explosion was heard which indicated the torpedo has strucked but later it was found that the ship did not sank. Immediately after this engagement the Indian Navy launched a massive hunting mission against Hangor and dropped depth charges indiscriminately. Hangor had to remain submerged for a week to escape this Indian mission. This could be verified by personal interviews of Cdr Tasneem.

LOL that's not how any of this works! No government entity gets to make up their own borders as they please, borders are negotiated and then universally agreed upon and approved. If the UN says that your border is such and such and you don't like it, then you either litigate the issue with them and see if you can make them change their mind or you shut it and accept the fact that you didn't own that piece of land. Either way, you don't get to make up your own borders, so stop all of this nonsense, you just look stupid.

@xenocrates7 I'm pretty sure he was using the defacto map which shows POK under Pakistan and Aksei Chin under China. It's literally the defacto map irrespective of what the govt. claims. Should Pakistan be allowed to strike videos because it doesn't show it controlling Kashmir?

An Iraqi Captain and I were once talking about why the military of Muslim countries were.....lets admit it.....bad. "From the day a Muslim boy is born he is pitted against his brothers. He and his brothers are against his cousins. His clan against other clans in the tribe. Our tribe against all the world." Loyalty to of these familial ties are held high above the good of the nation as a whole.

[@kirbyball97]

Keep in mind they also didn't want to be a country for the most part. Large swaths of land were cut up in weird places taking in no regard for cultural differences and ethnic differences. The groups that were still killing each other were told they were a nation now and to get along. Went about as well as you would expect.

The irony is that that was the very reason the Muhammad (Pbuh) brought Islam… to unite the tribes… unfortunately they let their traditions dominate over the religious teachings and a great civilization that could have united the world, fell apart, and with it Islam itself.

You do understand that it isn’t a Muslim thing. It’s a dictatorial thing. Muslim Bengali forces were also routing the Pakistanis in 71 and in 1965 Muslim Bengalis defended Lahore from india with gallantry. The problem is there is no rule of law in Pakistan
