The Indian Navy has achieved a new and historic milestone in self-reliance in the defense sector and strengthening its sovereignty at sea. The state-of-the-art warship ‘Mahendragiri’ (INS Mahendragiri) has been officially included in the naval fleet. This indigenous warship, built under Project 17A, is equipped with state-of-the-art ‘Stealth’ and ‘Silent’ technology, which makes it such an invisible hunter of the sea that it will be impossible for enemy countries to overcome. The induction of this warship increases India’s strategic advantage manifold amid increasing geopolitical tension in the Indian Ocean and Indo-Pacific region.
Will dodge enemy radar: What is the ‘stealth’ power of Mahendragiri?
The biggest feature of the ‘Mahendragiri’ warship is its advanced radar-evading capability. Due to its special design and the special material used in its construction, even the enemy’s modern surveillance radars will not be able to detect it easily. It can reach very close to the enemy while working in completely silent mode amidst the waves of the sea. Apart from this, the advanced sensors, modern missile systems and anti-submarine warfare equipment fitted in this warship make it an infallible and super powerful weapon on both defense and offensive fronts.
Another major diplomatic and military victory of self-reliant India
Big analysis from defense and military experts: “Mahendragiri’s induction into the Navy is a wonderful example of ‘Make in India’ and self-reliance in the defense sector. Approximately 75 per cent of this warship is completely indigenous, designed in collaboration with India’s leading shipbuilding firms and local MSME companies. This will not only strengthen the security of our maritime borders, but will also enhance India’s global stature as a ‘Net Security Provider’ in the Indian Ocean Region. Will strengthen further.”
With the arrival of the warship in the fleet, there has been an unprecedented expansion in the firepower and maritime patrol strength of the Indian Navy.
Local ports and coastal security grid will get a new boost
The operation of this warship will provide a new strength to the security grid of India’s coastal states and major naval commands like Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and Kochi (Geographical Base). Mahendragiri will prove to be a major game-changer in protecting coastal security and maritime trade routes at the local level. Indian Navy officials say that this warship is capable of taking quick action not only in conventional war situations but also in preventing piracy and disaster relief operations (HADR). This new indigenous roar of India in the sea is a clear message to the world that India is completely self-reliant and ready to protect its maritime borders.
