Indian navy chief rejects Pakistan's assertion of preventing submarines from entering its waters


Indian Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba on Friday rejected Pakistan's assertion that it had tracked down Indian submarines in its waters near Karachi last month, The Indian Express reported.

Registering his view on the event weeks later, Admiral Lanba said "there was no submarine deployed in the area of Pakistani claims".

As far as repelling of submarine of any nation goes, it is not an easy task. The claim made by Pakistan navy was totally bogus," Lanba said talking at the annual media conference in New Delhi held in celebration of India's Navy Day.

He further said India will continue to deploy submarines as per operational necessity.

The Pakistan Navy in November said it had prevented Indian Navy submarines from entering Pakistani territorial waters.

"The Indian Navy, in order to fulfil its nefarious designs, was deploying submarines. The Pakistan Navy, alert and using its extreme skill, prevented Indian submarines from entering Pakistani waters," a statement issued by Pakistan Navy at the time said.

The Pakistan Navy prevented the Indian submarines from being successful in their attempts to keep their presence a secret, the statement said, adding that the navy pursued the submarines and pushed them back.

but only if we had torpedoed that Submarine on first sight. but how could our ******* generals/admirals be so brave....

wah ji wah ! So Indian Naval Chief finally woke up after two weeks ?

Whatever they are, but I believe they are not mad dogs who can start off a war.... and who knows whether the submarine was also equipped with nukes? if that was so, can you imagine the consequences of torpedoing it?

Yeah... he took his time to issue such a negating statement. What else can you expect from this ch@ddi brigade?

I think he was high on cow piss for more than two weeks, that's why he couldn't reply earlier.

starting fission reaction in an atom bomb is a complex process. if you destroy a submarine carrying 1000 atom bombs then there are one in trillion chances that any of atom bomb will explode...

if a submarine is in your water then it's Halal to destroy it....

Actually understanding a nuclear arsenal is a bit more complex than that; where you have a nuclear warhead mounted over a vessel of transport, which is pumped with propulsion matter (usually the explosives) and you also have enriched radio active material there in the war head.... you have the flame and the petrol both, in this case.

What you are referring to is a the state when these nukes are stored .... propellants are stored separately while the nukes do not have enriched radioactive material in them. In that state, they are docile. While if they are mounted and specially in the case of Plutonium bombs, the technology which India uses, you have to be very careful... they can even pollute your waters to an extent that the users of this water will die in seconds.

Furthermore, angling towards the fission reaction it would have had created between India and Pakistan, the implications can be far drastic and complex than that.

Last, but not the least... there are two types of boundaries in our seas.... one is our operational boundary, where we are authorized to engage at our discretion and then there is a watch boundary, beyond our operational one, where we are required to keep an eye only. The Indian submarine was not inside our functional boundary, so it was not totally halal, rather you can say it was makrooh ...
