    PN is more like floating pigs, good enough to be sunk by coast guard vessels. No need to use Akula.

    PN is more like floating Pigs. Good enough to be sunk by Coast Guard vessels. No need to use our Akula or Stealth Frigates.

  4. @anon 7:20 PM: You are welcome to try your luck 🙂 remember the Diwali at the Karachi Harbour in 1971..

  5. @7:20
    I hope you are pathetic chow pork (can't use the C word)
    when we get the P8I, our navy will be more than glad to blow up your subs

  6. PN isn't stupid enough to risk a 400 million dollar agosta on
    ^ Anon,
    Sahyadri keep in mind Barak can easily shoot down harpoons' and RBUs can deal with incoming torpedoes. Even if Sahyadri get hits it can still (during Falklands british T-42 remained afloat even after multiple exocet hits) stay afloat but single torpedo can doom a submarine. More likely PN's SSKs will used to target the shipping lanes not suicidal attacks on a frigate.

  7. Im guessin if its a marine cuz the assault rifle the guy s holding is either a f2000 which cnnt be a stndard issue for a marine … or it might be a tar21 optimized for seawarfare … the pics nt in good shape to identify

  8. The assault rifle hes holding isnt standard issue marine arms although special marine units may have this sort of an assault rifle but usually its the M4A1-S(system variant) but the rifle in the pic can be a f2000 or a sea warfare or spec ops variant of the tar21 …. but if that guy is indian …. THIS IS REALLY AWESOMENESSSSSSSSS AND THE CAMOS ILL 🙂

  10. PN subs? PN subs will be toasted by P-8I's long before they even leave port.LOL !! PN that is scared and shits in the pants when IN fleet moves out. That cowers and hides in Karachi port when IN is bombing them.
    PN will last approx 2 hrs before IN sends them to the bottom of the sea.

  11. only 1 sub engage 2-3 surface ship so 5 paki sub give tence whole western command ship and this sub r very morden

  12. Shiv,

    A new report suggests that LCA wont be ready before 2015. Some days back you had flagged similar concerns when DRDO head commented that LCA will be inducted by year end. Could you raise the same issue again based on this report. Sorry for being OT.

  13. Anon@7:20 PM, Yes indeed. PN Ghazi is craving for some company as it rests at the bottom of the Bay of Bengal.

  14. Yippeee… was been following Bharat rakshak and this blog from quite a long time have joined it now… happy to see many of the discussions… wish would join some of ur discussions and thank u all for sharing the knowledge u have on our defense sector to guys like me… JAI HIND !!!

  15. Never underestimate your enemy, PN can shut down all the shipping lanes in Hormuz. Do you know what happened to INS Kukhri.

  16. @anon 7.34 PN can do shit.. after 4 wars and 4 naval blockades PN has proved its nothing but a piece of shit.. eg 1999 kargil war ur country had barely 7 days of oil storage left.. ur own PM said so..

  17. Thats the TAR21 Tavor the marine is holding…Its israeli made…The Indian version is smaller and is known as the Zittara!

  18. He is not a marine, this was taken on board INS Sahyadri, on its commissioning by Def min Antony. the soldier is a MARCOS commando,in their new gear. they were handling security for the funtion.
