Divers are amongst the most elite of all sailors and soldiers. A tough selection process and tougher day to day environment? Which are the different diving units in India?

#IndianNavy #IndianArmy #IndianCoastGuard

[THREAD] 👇 [01] Unsurprisingly the Indian Navy has the largest, most experienced and well equipped diving cadre in the country. Navy divers are also the talent pool for MARCOS special forces.

👇 A track of Indian Coast Guard's force levels / fleet

Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard are the top naval forces of the country. But there are other smaller marine/coastal security forces guarding our waters. Lets look at some of them.

[THREAD] 1. Border Security Force (BSF) Water Wing.

BSF operates the 3rd largest 'navy' of India on both Western and Eastern borders. At coastal areas as well as riverine areas such as Punjab.

The Floating BOPs act as motherships for smaller motorboats.

Crisp and hard-hitting piece on Indian Navy's options viz China.

What are the sub-threshold options at sea against PLAN?
Image There is evidence that Indian Navy is following a dissuasive strategy against PLAN in IOR, while forward deploying itself into the South China Sea.

Image Lets track some of the #MissionBasedDeployment. INS Vela - one of the Kalvari class SSKs (Project-75/ Scorpene) did one deployment in her first ever operational tour. One that lasted over 8 months.

#OpSwiftRetort air strikes - plausible scenarios:

1. PAF intended to strike Indian targets with aim to cause damage but missed due to inherent system limitation, poor execution or timely counter by IAF

2. Action was only to signal capability (stated reason)

3. Both

#Balakot Analysis is complicated due to:

1. High disinformation level by Pak military establishment. Not just in present scenario but historically as well.

2. No official comment by #IndianArmy or #IndianAirForce on the efficacy of the strikes.

3. No anecdotes from history
