India Positions Research Ship Near Chinese Spy Ships | 11 Submarines Deployed in Indian Ocean | WION

From the Red Sea to the Malaka Strait, India is providing security to the entire Indian Ocean region amid Chinese provocations on the high seas. It has been seen since 2019. China has been sending spy

ship

s to countries near India. They call them

ocean

research

vessels, but what they really are. They are spy

ship

s and their objective is to keep a close eye on Indian assets in the region. In fact, in recent days Beijing has become more brazen by sending not one, not two, but four spy

ships

to the Indian Ocean. Two of these Chinese spy

ships

have been in the Bay of Bengal for several days now, but New Delhi is having none of that now.

India has also

deployed

its own

research

vessel, it is called RV samudra ratnakar and the Indian research vessel has been placed right between the two Chinese research vessels. The RV samudra ratnakar is now among those in China. xiangyang Hong 01 and xiangyang Hong 03, located off the eastern coast of India, the RV samudra ratnakar is a state-of-the-art

ocean

ographic research vessel operated by the Geological Survey of India. She has been built by Hundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. A 103 M long ship equipped for extended missions and capable of sailing continuously for 45 days, it can accommodate up to 73 people, including 25 geoscientists.

Now this deployment comes while the Chinese military ship uan Wong 3 has been sailing in the same region as the RV samudra ratnakar. It features an impressive array of scientific equipment including positioning systems, sonar systems, seismic equipment, magnetometers, sauce meters, it also comes with remotely operated vehicle sampling and control devices, marine data management system, as you see, China's Yuan Wang class ships are believed to be used to track and support missile missiles. Naturally, its presence near strategic locations in India causes great concern to New Delhi; it is clear that if China were truly conducting research in the area, there would be no need to send such ships near India's assets;

Also, China's activities in the Indian Ocean have raised serious concerns that cannot be ignored, you would know what China has been doing in the latest TOA, for example, let's also talk about China's activities in other parts of the world in Myanmar . China is intensifying its efforts to complete the C Pew port in Bangladesh. It is increasing its participation in the Bel and Road initiative in the males it is expanding an artificial island and investing heavily in shells SE China is investing in strategic projects China's ultimate goal is full control of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean as far as to the Indian Ocean region China Despite China's expansionist dreams, CH India has been successfully crushing its efforts over the weekend The Calvari-class submarine Scorpan arrived as Barras for a maiden visit It is India's latest base in the eastern region of the Indian Ocean now this is an important landmark for the Indian forces and here is why in bars there is a naval air station located near the Bay of Campell in the Andan and Nicobar Islands.

It is the southernmost naval air station of the Indian armed forces. The Indian port overlooks the Malaka Strait, which is a narrow sea lane connecting the Indian Ocean. With the South China Sea, this route, as you know, is strategically and economically important for Beijing. Furthermore, Campbell Bay Island is located just 145 kilometers north of Indonesia and can control the 6° shipping channel between Great Nicobar and the former Indonesian island of Somatra. The visit of an Indian submarine of this class to this strategic port amplifies the reach of the Indian Navy away from the mainland, allowing the reach and operational flexibility to rapidly dispatch stealth

submarines

to areas of interest and beyond, not only Because India has also been expanding the runway in Barras to help operate maritime surveillance aircraft in the year 2022, the Indian Air Force's C130J Special Operations aircraft landed in Barras, all this shows how the Indian Navy India is expanding its capabilities and strengthening its position in the region, especially at a time when the Chinese have been sending their

submarines

to the region.

India is significantly increasing its naval presence in these waters by showcasing its powerful submarine fleet. The Indian Navy also recently demonstrated its operational readiness by conducting an exercise in the Arabian Sea that included a powerful display of eight submarines operating together. This unprecedented demonstration has demonstrated to the world the exceptional submarine strength of the Indian Navy. In fact, over the weekend, the Navy Chief hailed the completion of 100 days of naval operations against anti-drone, missile and piracy attacks in the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea. and the Red Sea, he asserted that the Indian Navy will continue to be the first to take affirmative action, the second to prevent such incidents and the third to maintain India's dominant position in the region.

The Indian Navy has already demonstrated this by responding to Allied calls for help in the Red Sea. oceanic region and fulfilling India's responsibility towards maritime security and stability after an increase in the number of Hoodi attacks in the Red Sea and a resurgence in piracy attempts, India has

deployed

at least a dozen of warships to provide security to merchant vessels, the Indian Navy chief also revealed that the Indian Navy had simultaneously deployed 11 conventional submarines for operations in different parts of the Indian Ocean region. This has been the largest number of operational submarines for the Indian Navy in the last two decades, so Beijing basically has no doubts about its intentions.

In seeking to dominate the Indian Ocean region, India is leaving no stone unturned to challenge China's rapid expansion in the region. He is sure that India's submarine fleet may not be up to par with China's, but that has not stopped India from becoming the region's main security provider, something China has not done.
