India vows to punish 'Houthi-Style' Ship Attackers; 'Even From Bottom of The Sea....'

I've no expert comments to make, kind sirji, but both Suez and Panama are very likely here to stay for the long run.

ULCCs/VLCCs aka ultra large/very large crude (and container) carriers ka waisey hi kaafi mushkil scene hota hai with their massive drafts (submerged part)

Jahr Viking type koi nikaal k dikhao na.. unless when on her way to the scrapyard, ballast full of air and floating like a dingy,

Recently ek Maersk ka fatty phas gya tha, held up global trade for a few days.. stock market up down ho gai dunia ki..bc

Good hope sa aao and jao, na .. koi ni, gets a bit choppy but aaram se nikalte hain sab !

But Good Hope adds how many days and dollars?

Commerce drives conflict.

Cheers, Doc

Sometimes you don't have a choice, aapka motu nikle ga hi nahi canal panal se :D

and other times, for eg Brazil to Sri Lanka jaana hai, least resistance waali good hope road pakadne ka, aur kya.. (unless you have cargo for Europe, MENA etc)

during exercises and in proper conflict zones, intl. navies make it very clear to all other traffic ki "yaha mat aao"
 
Getting back to the commerce, the Suez canal is now woefully inadequate.

There was talking about cutting 2 new wider ones.

In effect actually terraforming a strait.

Dekhte hain. That is the actual bottleneck. You had proper traffic jams there during the pandemic. One container ship toppling affected supplies to the entire world.

That is not going to be allowed anymore.

Coming back to the topic. When the world can terraform, think what they can do to human resistance ...

Can and will do @muhammed45

@Sharma Ji expert comments please on the samudri bit.

Cheers, Doc
maybe this all drama is to stop that new project and we all might be looking in the wrong direction ... who knows
 
Lets hope indian navy get some field day with yemen rebels it will be a good PR for indian ships.

Indians can hope.
And India will not get what they hope for.

More likely than not, half the Indian ships will be hit and set on fire by the Houthis.

As a consolation, the Indians on board will remain forever young.

There is now good indication that it was Iran behind the whole thing.

They have close to zero leverage over India so they have been stirring up trouble to get our attention.

1. Kulbushan Jadav was captured from Iran and sold to pakistan.
2. Iran is disturbed that India now has a Strategic partnership with SA and UAE.
3. Indications are it was Iran (working with partner) who was behind Jailing of 7 ex-IN officers in Qatar.
4. India no longer uses Iran to deal with pakistan. We now work with SA & UAE.
5. IME Corridor is another game changer which diminishes Iran's strategic port sharing with India.
6. Qatar gave death sentence to ex-IN immediately after India extended support to Israel.
7. Cyber trolling of Indians on world wide forums and targeted attempts at demeaning Indians and insulting Indians was traced to Iran. This appears to be in response to the unexpected Indian public support for Israel's action.
8. The attacked tanker off Indian coast seems to have come from Iran. There is evidence of Shahed 136 drone.
9. Bomb blast near Israel Embassy in Delhi following up the attack on the Ship.

Iran readily uses the "Jewish and Israel" to cover up its aggression. They know that blaming Israel will help them get support of the rest of the islamic nations.

There also appears to be tacit chinese support to Iran for such clandestine activities. SOS made by attacked ships to chinese navy has gone unresponded in directly violation of general Laws of the Sea.

THESE are the reasons India has decided to do a show of strength in the Arabian Sea. India has deployed 5 Destroyers and P8I for long range patrolling.

So the Houthies are only a distraction.
 
Is this punishment going to be like the "surgical strikes" where their Mig-21 flying coffin gets shot down, the misfire and hit some trees, and the guy enjoys tea after getting beat up by the locals? Idk how the tea was, but Yemeni coffee is fantastic. lol

Nice conspiracy theories but I can tell you Iran doesn't care about India to this extent

Any ship connected to Israel will be targeted, it just so happens that they all seem to have Indian crews. I don't know why. But the crews seem to have a good time even when they are captured (see: videos of Indian crew relaxing with Yemenis)
 
Indian Navy boarded Iranian ships? Any evidence for this ludicrous claim?

MV Saviz is damaged from a 2021 attack and still out of operation in an Iranian port the last I heard about it. @Hack-Hook do you know anything more about MV Saviz?
the author of tweet heard the name of saviz and needed a name for his tweet so why not

all this started by an article in Hindustan Times and that article didn't provide any proof only claims

they think they can randomly board Iranian ships, good joke, even better than the ship they claim to have boarded is not even in active service so they must have entered Iranian waters to board it :D

India is the largest nation in the world, a real economy that is the 3rd largest in the world, 4th largest military and 5th largest nominal GDP.

So not only Iran, but nations all over the world care about India.

If you go around making enemies and attacking people all over the world, I guarantee karma will come back to repay with interest.

China though it was being clever by releasing the CoVid virus into the world. How has that fared for them ? You think their DENIAL has convinced anyone in the word ? They blamed US t Indians for the virus, but did it work ? Just look at the consequence of that on their nation. They have tried hiding their deaths and declaring a fake vaccine, did any of that help them ? Karma's a real bitch.
