Indian Ocean : Stupid china trying to play game with India again

When whole world is fighting Chinese coronavirus which might be a Bio weapon of china , China is again busy in playing stupid game with India In Indian Ocean region and trying to divert attention from coronavirus .

Indian Navy Chief Admiral Singh confirmed the constant presence of Chinese vessels in the Indian Ocean, part of Beijing's ambitions to build and protect global trade routes. Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue, the admiral warned: “If anyone operates in our region, they have to notify us first.” The Indian Navy released a statement that said: “The Dornier squadron of the ENC, INAS 311, operating from the air station, has been undertaking regular maritime surveillance missions."Additionally, all other air assets have been kept mission-ready and prepared for immediate deployment should the need arise."

The statement from the military commander comes against the backdrop of movements of a Chinese aircraft carrier and warships through the Miyako Strait in the fraught South China Sea .

Where one side China is facing lots of pressure from all over the world due to its lie on coronavirus , another side China trying everything it can to divert attention from the Pandemic (Coronavirus). Look like movement of 8 to 10 naval Warship including a home built aircraft carrier (which china is trying to show off to the world like a small child trying to show off after getting its new toy)  in Indian ocean is part of its strategy to divert attention from Chinese Coronavirus .

Chinese navy has 2 aircraft carrier ,( only one is fit to use ) about 75 submarines and about 512 total warships most of them are absolute which imply Chinese navy is not a blue water navy and cant project power like USA , Russia and France apart from its own backyard . Indian navy has 1 aircraft carrier ,about 20 Submarines and about 140 Warships most of them armed with fastest Cruise missile in the world BRAHMOS .

Like china India has also not a Blue water navy but can hold its ground in its backyard " Indian Ocean" . So challenging India Navy in Indian Ocean is just Plain stupidity Nothing else . 

Chinese Navy always try to bully Small neighbors like Vietnam , Philippines , Taiwan ,Singapore etc in South China Sea (which is its backyard ) ,but trying to treat India in a same way in IOR (Indian Ocean region ) will lead to a certain war which will going to be more devastating for China then India and will have an adverse effect on the water (Maritime) Traffic in the India Ocean  Region (IOR) which china will not be able to stop India from controlling since most of the trade ,goods etc of china pass through Indian Ocean region , which is Exactly what Indian Navy Chief Admiral Singh was hinting about . 

Its high time China should behave as responsible Country not a small child and instead of showing off its first home made aircraft carrier (Shandong)  which don't have even proper fighter aircraft since J -15 (china's carrier borne fighter) is just a poor reverse engineering of  Su-33, it should understand that not all country will bow down from its bully especially not The Nuclear powered country like India .

Well China still has to answer about Chinese Coronavirus to the world and no stupid behavior will going to divert world attention from it .

Naval Tejas : India became 6th country to land a fighter Aircraft on Aircraft carrier by an "arrested landing"

11 January 2020 brought a huge development in the history of Indian Aviation and Indian navy when a Naval prototype NP 2 (3002 ) of India's home grown fighter HAL Tejas landed on the deck of Indian aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya. Naval Tejas not only becomes the first Indian-made fighter jet to land on the deck of an aircraft carrier but also made India 6th Country to do an arrested landing of Fighter aircraft on an aircraft carrier and 10th Country in the world to land a Fighter Aircraft on an Aircraft Carrier after USA , Canada,Germany ,Italy, Russia , Japan ,UK, China and France.

 

 “After completing extensive trials on the Shore Based Test Facility (SBTF), Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) developed LCA Navy did an arrested landing on INS Vikramaditya successfully today January 11, 2020 at 10:02 hours,” the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said on Twitter .

 

 The Naval Tejas used its tail hook to successfully snag the arrester wire, which acts as brakes to slow down and bring the fighter jet to a halt, on the deck of the aircraft carrier. An "arrested landing" on the deck of an aircraft carrier is a feat achieved by only a handful of fighter jets developed in the US, Russia, UK, France and, more recently, China . While Germany , Italy and Japan did land an fighter Aircraft on a carrier but it was not an arrested landing and it was also way back in 2nd World War . Canada flown de Havilland Canada L-20 Beaver from a Usa Aircraft carrier in 1958 in Lebanon war .

 

 

This beautiful bird Which was rejected by Indian navy  for being too overweight for carrier operations is now making them proud .Now HAL ( Hindustan Aeronautics Limited ) expecting the aircraft will be in Initial operational stage in 2020-21 .They believe this achievement will now pave the way to develop and manufacture the twin engine deck-based fighter for the Indian Navy and also expecting order from both indian Navy and foreign Navy .
