India has deployed warships, submarines, maritime patrols and warplanes to keep an eye on Pakistan’s largest naval maneuvers in the North Arabian Sea. The missile and rocket launcher will also be deployed here in the coming days. Defense sources said that the Navy had taken precautionary measures to repel any calamity the Navy had suffered during the maneuvers.
Pakistan has resorted to cross-border operations after the abolition of its special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Pakistan, which has banned the entry of commercial vessels into its territorial waters, is conducting maneuvers from September 25 to 29. The Navy and Air Force officials said that these surveillance tactics were a good idea. The Navy has deployed patrols that cover submarines and fighter jets, as well as remote locations. Seven to eight battleships have been identified at the site of Pakistani naval maneuvers.
The Armed Forces became more alert after the Pulwama suicide attack and the Indian fighter jets bombed the Pakistani territory on February 26 and carried out lightning strikes on the Balakot terror camp. Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat has revealed that Pakistan has revived its terrorist camp in Balakot recently.
According to defense sources, intelligence sources have warned that the Center’s decision on Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 is likely to cause massive destruction by terrorists.
Pakistani officials in the Arabian Sea described the warships, submarines and warplanes including the INS Vikramaditya, the nuclear submarine INS Arihant, and the INS Chakra for the maneuvers carried out in the Arabian Sea after the Balakot air strikes. He explained that the surface, navy and air forces were strong and that Pakistani navy would be repulsed into the sea waters.
