In an unexpected incident, INS Betwa accidentally slipped over while undocking at naval dockyard, Mumbai, claiming 2 lives and injuring 14 crew members. The ship was at dry dock while the entire incident happened. The sources alleged the failure of dock-block mechanism as the cause of the accident. The failure of this mechanism led to the hitting of the mast of the ship to the ground from the left side that led to the accident.

The ship was undergoing repairing at the dock and all this happened during the undocking of the ship.  The two sailors who lost their lives were NK Rai and Asutosh Pandey. It is not the first time that INS Betwa faced such incident. In 2014, INS Betwa hit an unidentified object in the sea, while coming to the Mumbai dock, which led to the technical problems in its sonar systems.

About The Ship

It is a Brahmaputra class guided missile frigate, built by GRSE (Garden Reach Ship Builders) and has joined the service in 2004. The ship is fitted with 2 Bhopal turbines and 30,000 HP engine and can attain a speed of 30 knots (56 Kmph). It is also efficient to carry 2 helicopters (2 Sea King Helicopters or 1 Sea King and 1 HAL Chetak). The ship has also got some efficient arms in it like Barak missile, anti- ship torpedoes, Merela super rapid guns etc.

INS Betwa is named after the Betwa River

Other Incidents in Indian Navy in Recent Years.

  • In 2014, three major accidents happened in Indian Navy. A small fire broke out in INS Ganga at Mumbai dock which injured 3 people, fire in INS Sindhuratna claimed lives of 2 sailors and 1 officer died in INS Kolkata after inhaling carbon dioxide.
  • In 2013, blast in the torpedo compartment of INS Sindhurakshak led to the loss of 18 members of the submarine. INS Tarkash also went through an accident while docking.

Conclusion – INS Betwa has been one of the best warheads in the Indian Navy. The incident will be interrogated further and some sources are also alleging that the ship will not be able to sail again due to the accident. Indian navy is inducting new warheads were frequently, but the maintenance and life extension of the old warheads is also a matter of concern. The loss of precious lives of soldiers in such accidents is also a point of concern. The accident will be a lesson for other ships and naval soldiers to stay careful.

Till 1965 India’s borders with Pakistan were manned by the State Armed Police Battalion. Pakistan attacked Sardar Post, Chhar Bet and Beria Bet on 9 April, 1965 in Kutch. This exposed the inadequacy of the State Armed Police to cope with armed aggression due to which the Government of India felt the need for a specialized centrally controlled Border Security Force, which would be armed and trained to man the International Border with Pakistan. As a result of the recommendations of the Committee of Secretaries, the Border Security Force came into existence on 01 Dec 1965, and Shri K F Rustamji was the first chief and founding father.

Here is about BSF, summed in 9 points:

Border Security Force

  1. It is a Central Armed Police Force charged with guarding India’s land border during peace time and preventing transnational crime
  2. The BSF, in its 48 years of existence, has emerged as an elite force of the country having excelled with distinction in the 1971 war with Pakistan.
  3. Its ethos is “Any task, anytime, anywhere” and the BSF has given blood and sweat to execute its motto “Duty Unto Death”.
  4. The BSF contributes every year a significant number of personnel for services for UN Mission.
  5. It was raised in the wake of the 1965 War on 1 December 1965 “for ensuring the security of the borders of India and for matters connected therewith”.
  6. The BSF has its own cadre of officers but its head, designated as a Director-General (DG), since its raising has been an officer from the Indian Police Service.
  7. The BSF has grown exponentially from a few battalions in 1965 to 186 battalions with a sanctioned strength of 2.5 lakh personnel including an expanding air wing, marine wing, artillery regiments, and commando units.
  8. The BSF, long considered a male bastion, has now deployed its first batch of women personnel at the border to carry out regular frisking of women as well as other duties performed by their male counterparts, including guarding the border.

The BSF, first line of India’s defense currently stands as the world’s largest border guarding force. BSF has been termed as the First Line of Defense of Indian Territories.

Bullet-proof jackets

Some months ago, there was news that the soldiers will get 10 year-long awaited bullet-proof jackets. All we thought was it’ll take another few years for the same. But not today because soldiers finally get their bullet-proof jackets for its troops especially those posted in militancy-hit areas.

According to news reports, the first consignment of bullet-proof jackets was delivered on Oct 15, 2016. Although the number of jackets needed for the Army is 3,53,765 as per a plan in 2009, Indian Army has received the first lot of 20,000 bulletproof jackets for its troops posted in counter-insurgency and anti-militancy operations.

bullet-proof jackets

Out of the 3,53,765 jackets, 1.86 lakh were to be supplied by 2012 and another 1.67 lakh jackets by 2017. The tender for purchase of 1.86 lakh modular jackets was scrapped in October 2015 as samples offered by six vendors failed to clear field trials as per the Army specified benchmarks and the tender were cancelled.

This is the first lot of the 50,000 jackets placed on order in March 2016 for ₹140 crore under the “emergency procurement” with Tata Advance Material Limited. The new jackets are light weight and at the same time will protect the soldiers.

There is a huge shortage of bullet-proof jackets in the 1.18-million strong Army and because of convoluted procurement procedures, a lot of delays happen in getting these vital security items.

After assuming office, Defence Manohar Parrikar had approved this “interim emergency acquisition” through the “revenue route”.

What do you think about this move when only some of our soldiers will get to wear it?

Indian Armed Forces have modernized themselves in order to advance them toward a secure and strong force. The warfare strategies and weapons have changed a lot in the last few decades. There have been a revolutionary change in weapon technology and update in the technology has been on a hike these days. The Navy has also gone through certain changes where only surface warfare is not the only warfare technique. Underwater warfare is also a part of it, where submarines play a pivotal role. Talking about India, India has a certain number of submarines and some of the advanced submarines, which are under construction. To update the candidates about the submarines of India, we have a gist of them given below.

  1. Arihant Class – INS Arihant submarine belongs to Arihant class submarine. It is nuclear powered submarine manufactured by India. It was commissioned in August this year.
  2. Chakra Class – INS Chakra (Akula Class) is taken on lease from Russia for a period of 10 years. It is an attack submarine and was inducted into the Indian Navy in 2012.
  3. Shishumar Class – INS Shishumar, INS Shalki, INS Shankush and INS Shakul belongs to this class. These all belong to German origin and are powered by diesel electric engine. These all are attack submarines. These submarines can run at a speed of 22 knots with a crew of 40 members.
  4. Sindhu Ghosh Class – 9 submarines are included in this class and all are diesel electric submarines. INS Sindhurakshak sank due to technical problems, claiming lives of some soldiers of Indian Navy. These all belong to the Soviet Union. The submarines can run at a speed of 18 knots, under 300m depth and can reside for 45 days with about 50 crew members.
  5. Under Development – Arihant and Kalvari class submarines are under construction. Aridhaman of Arihant class and Kalvari and Kandheri of Kalvari class comes under it. Some other submarines in Kalvari class are under construction. Kalvari class submarines are manufactured by India with the help of France. INS Kalvari is the first scorpene that was launched in 2015 and now undergoing trails.
  6. Decommissioned – Apart from these, some of the submarines were decommissioned. The decommissioned submarines belonged to Vela, Kalvari and Charlie class (INS Chakra). These all belonged to the Soviet origin. Out of them, Charlie class was taken on lease which was returned back to the Soviet Union in 1991.

What is the purpose of Submarines?

The submarines have a secondary role of performing underwater deterrence. It also performs surveillance and intelligence operation. Laying mines and handling commando operations have also been conducted by submarines.

Weapons carried by Submarines

Submarines can carry the following weapons and missiles

  • Cruise missile
  • Ballistic missiles
  • Mines
  • Anti-ship missiles
  • Torpedoes

Conclusion – The submarines are the crucial part of the Indian Navy that protects the Indian waters. The enhancement and induction of the submarines are going on. The usage of advanced technology like stealth, is targeted by India, which will further bolster the warfare strength of India. India has taken itself to a great height in defence field and the same pace will take to the next level of power.

Merkava Tank - New Interest Of India
Merkava Tank - New Interest Of India

The relations of India with top arms manufacturers are taking a new leap, especially some of the top ranker in the arms manufacturing list. Israel has been a long time military exporter of Indian and now, it has been fulfilling the military needs of India. Recently, some defense companies from Israel conducted a seminar in India. India has shown its interest in Merkava tank and Namer APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) of Israel, which is a product of those companies. The military relations between both the nations have been seen on a hike after the contract of Gil anti-tank missiles of Israel, Barak – 8 missile and upgrading of Indian tanks by Israel and many more. The Merkava tank is a main battle tank and has a 1500 HP turbo engine and has its 4 variants naming mark I, II, III, IV. The inclination of India toward these warheads increased after 20 companies involved in production of the tank and APC conducted their first ever seminar. The expected bulk procurement of the weapons by Indian army was viewed as the striking point of the seminar. Many companies like IMCO, CMCR and others have conducted the seminar, who have an aggregate export of $ 700 million. Currently the indigenously made tank ARJUN (by DRDO) has been inducted as main battle tank. But many problems have been faced by the armored corps in ARJUN tank that led to the up-gradation of the tank. But the Merkava Tanks will be a good deal for India to fill up those functional voids.

India is currently seen in a strong position of acquiring foreign technology to boost up the national security. Recently Indian government has signaled positively for 83 Tejas Mk -1 aircraft from HAL to be delivered to the Indian Air Force. The engine of the aircraft will have American engine, which it is currently using to thrust the aircraft. Simultaneously, manufacturing authorities are working to replace it with indigenous engine Kaveri. Also, India and U.S. have productively signed the deal for purchasing 145 M-777 Ultra-Light Howitzers, which are known for the mobility and exceptional working capability. The sources revealed that the guns will be preferably used on China borders. The deal is recently cleared by the cabinet committee on security and cost Rs 5000 cr.

Conclusion – The modernization is taking a fast pace in the Indian defense field and era of a strong and bold nation is emerging. Induction of Tejas, Proposal to buy Predator drones, acquiring S-400 Air Defense Systems and many other steps by Indian government will raise the strength of the nation. The ultimate effect of these weapons will secure the borders and territories of India. On the other hand it, Merkava will enhance the strength of armored corps of India.
