PLA could blockade India with just 10 submarines: Sina

[Ajai Ghale]

Sina Can you even think of Blockading Vietnam let alone India which is too big for you.

Worry about Viet's newly acquired Klub as Kamorta Class and P8 is beyond your Reverse engineer Brains

 

[Archie]

India seriously need to add more P8I
12 are simply not enough
Atleast 30 are required

 

[Stephen Cohen]

Very good news ; let us formalise an ALLIANCE with USA

India seriously need to add more P8I
12 are simply not enough
Atleast 30 are required

We need an integrated strategy
1 More P 8 I
2 More ASW Corvettes
3 Multi role Helicopters
4 More Submarines

 

[GR!FF!N]

meanwhile in IOR....

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

10 submarines is A LOT OF RESOURCE :O .

10 diesel submarines is within PLAN's reach.

However what is fantasized in the above article would require nuclear submarines, which is beyond PLAN's budget.

have link for that...

It was by one of the Chinese posters either Sinochalleger or Kiss of the Dragon

 

[jaatram]

Chinese started reverse engineering Pakistani bragging too

 

[MULUBJA]

This is noicy Chinese subs shall be detected from Reconesses Aircraft and Helicopters carrying depth charrge and it shall be all over. We are least bothered of CHinese subs.

 

[The BrOkEn HeArT]

Not possible. India is more experienced country in ocean war than china. You cant predict china naval power untill they are not going to participate in modern war. On the other hand India has proved many times its naval power.

Sina Military News Network ? So these days curating military pics from the interwebs passes as a MilNews Network.

The People’s Liberation Army Navy could block India’s western and eastern coasts with just 10 submarines in the event of conflict in the Indian Ocean, according to the Sina Military Network website on June 2.

An article published last year claimed that a single attack submarine deployed to the Bay of Bengal or Arabian Sea could threaten the entire operations of the Indian Navy. It could even challenge the INS Vikramaditya, the former Russian aircraft carrier commissioned in 2013. This is a primary mission why India decided to build two additional carriers with the assistance of the United States, the piece said.

With the Indian Navy also adding more submarines to its fleet, the Sina Military Network concluded that the PLA’s three Type 091 Han-class, four Type 093 Shang-class and two Type 095 attack submarines are not sufficient for a total blockade of the subcontinent. However, it said it would not be necessary for the PLA Navy to block the country’s southern waters that are closer to the coast of Africa. In this case, about 10 attack submarines could suffice.

India has eight primary naval bases but only the three located in Mumbai, Karwar and Visakhapatnam are used for actual military operations. This being the case, the article said that even six nuclear-powered attack submarines are needed to block India’s major naval bases completely with two covering each base.

BS We are not cooperating with US in any carrier program

10 subs having free reign?? can the Chinese see into the future. the false bravado of Chinese media is worse than in the states

You underestimate the Chinese they can block all our sea lines with just a few fishing trawlers

 

[Dr. Sen]

Was this piece written by the Chinese pdf member who claimed China could send submarines into India through Brahmaputra river.



An Aircraft carrier to counter submarines? no wonder they are yet to learn alot about carrier operations.

The Chinese are becoming more and more like the Pakistanis. Next they will say the boat that sank in the River was RAWs work...

The CCP has Chinese Copy Pasted(CCP) Pakistani mentality.

Sorry for the puns (fully intended)
The carrier has High Stakes riding on it and with Poker Face Diplomacy India shouldn't take a Gamble in the IOR.

 

[C130]

I don't think it would be possible even with 20 subs. Orions and anti-sub corvetes of IN are very capable of detecting and destroying those lurking subs. Towed sonars to be acquired in near future will be death knell for subs.

One more thing , US would gladly give us the co-ordinates of PLA subs.

Any guess how many subs or depth charges would it require to bloke choke points between IOR and SCS ??

you would think the Chinese have Seawolf and Yasen class subs.


most of their clunkers are really loud

 

[dray]

And we get to sink 10 chini subs!

 

[egodoc222]

I think a single Chinese sub is enough for complete blockade of both east and west coast!!
