Why cant the IN mount an operation to end this?
If the ships can be rescued (if the MARCOS are all they are hyped up to be), India could further boost its "international player" image by striking at pirate hideouts... after all, with AAR.. the MKI's have that range.
Its a complex operation..PPl are holed up in different ships and 7 ppl are on the somalian land at best they can be at one place or 7 different places.Now to locate all the ppl at a same time and launching the operation is a very difficult task, the gov has to be prepared for indian causalities and have to take the blame for it GOI needs some spine, that cannot happen happen under MR Boneless singh..
What would MKI's do on a offensive search and rescue operation, but yes after the operation they can be put into use for battle feild weapons testing ..
