Indian Navy needs a variety & quantity upgrade in submarines

Image
By: Kartikeya Semwal Conventional submarine  Indian Navy is the world’s 7 th largest navy in the world with 294 warships. While our biggest enemy China is ranked 2 nd largest with 730 warships of different types. This is a cause of concern as we aren’t even half of our enemy. In the last 1 decade, under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji & Raksha mantri Shri Rajnath Singh ji, our navy has added many warships to its fleet, yet a lot more needs to be done. China has a large number of different types of submarines ranging from conventional to nuclear. The advantage that they have is that they are building their own submarines & that too, at a fast pace. Contrast to that India doesn’t makes its own conventional submarines. And there is a huge gap in this category. China has 48 conventional submarines which means that it can deploy as many of them to watch or surround Indian Ocean region (IOR) while India has only 16 conventional submarines. Those too are the old Russian Kil...

Importance of Monsoons

Rains are of great importance for India's Economy, specially its agriculture industry. Since India does not have any river linkage system, people suffer with natural calamities like floods and drought resulting in destruction of crops. It is due to this that Indian farmers are completely dependent on monsoon showers. But with depletion of forests and global warming, the scientist community across the world have observed a change in the timmings of monsoon showers across the world. India is one of the most affected countries that has suffered due to change in timmings of monsoon. Last year, i.e. in 2009, monsoons ditched the farmers resulting in shortage of production targets of wheat, pulses, vegetables and fruits. Shortage of food supply resulted in chaos among public as there was uncontrolled price rise in all food products. Many states including Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand suffered drought conditions. Farmers were badly hit as crops failed them and their incapability to repay ...

How bout a Quad-nation Aircraft Carrier Strike Group?

Image
By: Kartikeya Semwal With the ever-increasing threat posed by China’s PLA Navy in the IOC (Indian Ocean Region), neighbouring countries like Japan, South Korea and Australia have started feeling the need to induct and operate aircraft carriers of their own. Till now, none of these countries has an operational Aircraft Carrier (AC). Instead, they operate heli-carriers and/or ALS (Amphibious Landing Ships). But more than them, India feels the immediate need of operating at least 3 Aircraft Carriers (ACs). Currently, the Indian Navy has a solo AC called INS Vikramaditya, a 44,000-tonne behemoth brought from Russia. By 2022, India will get its 2 nd AC which is its own indigenous AC called INS Vikrant; a 45,000-tonne ship. Now since India has a vast coastline to guard, it needs 1 AC fleet to guard its western coasts & another to guard its eastern coast. INS Vikramaditya in battle mode. Guarding the western coast is easy when compared to the eastern coast as our foe Pakist...
