Indian Navy studying the sinking of Russian cruiser Moskva

The Indian Navy Operational Planner was studying the sinking of Cruiser Moskva, the superior Russian Black Sea Fleet, by two Ukrainian anti-ship cruise missiles on April 14 with a focus on how to protect Indian warships from anti-ship ballistic missiles such as DF-21 China. The last Russian flagship sunbathed was in the Tsushima battle by the Japanese Imperial Navy in 1905, 117 years ago.

Sinking Russian cruisers in the ongoing Ukrainian war raises serious questions about the continuity of warships on the day and age of anti-ship cruises and ballistic missiles. Anti-ship weapons pose a threat to all navies in the world including the Chinese Navy, which has exhibited its aircraft carriers, Liaoning, and Shandong, against Indo-Pacific while threatening the US Navy with DF 21 and DF 26 Missiles. Chinese propaganda media has been dubbed DF 21 as a ship killer and DF 26 as a US base killer in Guam on the Indo-Pacific.

It was lowned that the sink of Russian Moskva would be a topic of discussion at the Navy Commander Conference next week.

While the Indian Premier warship brings the surface of Barak-1 and Barak-8 to refer to air along with a nearby weapon suite (Ciws) to overcome the threat of air and roaming missiles, this problem becomes more complicated if an enemy attack occurs.

Age of anti-ship missiles consciously in the 1960s and throughout our career, the focus was how to avoid missile attacks and fire on our ship. The key to ward off anti-ship missile attacks is to ensure that the enemy does not get real-time locations from the ship War during hostility and detection of threats entered to fight it, “said former Indian Navy Admiral.

2021 Launch tracking Dhruv ballistic missile tracking, operated by NTRO, will help the Indian military detect launch launches to India and its military platforms.

However, Drdo has developed a chafs system, which creates a metal particle cloud from a warship to divert anti-ship missiles that entered during hostility. India after the US is the second country to develop the ability of chafs to protect warships with interesting missiles entering by creating the illusion of warships, far from the actual platform. “After the on-board ship radar detects the entered missile threat, the Chafs system is activated by firing metal clouds far from the actual ship and distracting the missiles from achieving the actual target,” said a senior official.

While the Chafs system can work in hostile conditions, anti-ship shipping and ballistic missiles pose a real threat to the Navy’s Armadas because they will lower the ship if they are not detected. The sinking of warships is not a mere war event but has a serious impact on military and nation morals.
