Historic document: “Confidential.” December, 10, 1971. Moscow. For the DM Marshal Andrey Grechko. According to the information from our attaché in Delhi in the first day of conflict the Indian destroyer ‘Rajput’ has sunk a Pakistani submarine by depth charges. In December, 4 and 9, the Indian fast boats have destroyed and damaged 10 Pakistani battle ships and vessels by the P-15 missiles. In addition 12 oil storages was burned in flame. The Commander of the Military Intelligence Service Gen. Pyotr Ivashutin”.

In the same day the Soviet Intelligence has reported that the British Naval group with the leadership of ‘Eagle’ carrier went closer to the territorial waters of India. The Soviet Government immediately sent a unit of battle ships under the leadership of counter-admiral Vladimir Kruglyakov for helping to the fraternal country.

Vladimir Kruglyakov, the former (1970-1975) Commander of the 10th Operative Battle Group (Pacific Fleet) remembes:

“I received the order from the Chief Commander ‘To not allow access of the American Navy to the Indian military objects’.

- On the way of American Navy stood the Soviet cruisers, destroyers and atomic submarines equipped with anti-ship missiles.

Vladimir Kruglyakov, the former (1970-1975) Commander of the 10th Operative Battle Group (Pacific Fleet) remembers:

“We encircled them and I have targeted the ‘Enterprise’ by missiles. I have blocked them and didn’t allow enclosing to Karachi, nor to Chittagong or Dhaka”.

On the Soviet ships then were only the missiles with limited to 300 km range. Thus, to be sure the rival is under the hindsight the Russian commanders have had to take the risk of maximal enclosing to the American fleet.

Vladimir Kruglyakov, the former (1970-1975) Commander of the 10th Operative Battle Group (Pacific Fleet) remembers:

“The Chief Commander has order me: ‘Lift the subs when they (the Americans) appear!’ – It was done to demonstrate, there are all the needed in Indian Ocean, including the nuclear submarines. I have lifted them, and they recognized it. Then, we intercepted the American communication. The commander of the Carrier Battle Group was then the counter-admiral Dimon Gordon. He sent the report to the 7th American Fleet Commander: ‘Sir, we are too late. There are the Russian atomic submarines here, and a big collection of the battleships’.
The war was then two weeks long, and it has finished by Pakistani forces surrendering.

Brits love to interfere in matters of other nations. amazing thing is when they intervene in 1971 they were not superpower. even then they did so.

I was always wondering,how come the Brits were silent all along.

All in all,the Russians prevented foreign intervention,which could have complicated things.

[cybertron]

isnt it funny that we are two completly different and distict nations with just vague ideas of each other but are in deep love with each other.
this is another example and lesson for those who advocate for INDIA'S relations with US over RUSSIA.

 

[IBRIS]

Indian Navy and Russian Navy carried out one of the most courageous, professional and ingenious operations against our adversaries. 1971 war and the naval action at Karachi Harbour on Dec 4, 1971 will forever haunt them for there lose.

Seahawk and Alize squadrons wrecked havoc on vital installations in East Pakistan. While at the same time Indian Navy took care of some serious business at the Western front.
