#Indian Navy Chief Describes Why #China Is 'A Formidable Challenge'

Admiral Hari Kumar emphasized the tension between New Delhi and Beijing at border points and in the Indian Ocean.

China poses a formidable challenge to India's security as it not only intensifies its military presence on the border, but also conducts maneuvers and maritime operations in the Indian Ocean, using anti-piracy rhetoric "as a pretext," he stressed. This Wednesday the head of the Indian Navy, Admiral Hari Kumar, quoted by The Hindu.

"At any given point there are between five and eight units of the Chinese Navy, be they warships or research vessels, along with a multitude of fishing vessels operating in the Indian Ocean region. We watch them and watch them carry out their activities." in the region," Kumar said.

Speaking of Beijing's military activities, the Indian admiral noted that China has a naval base in Djibouti and helps build ports in countries such as Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

"Our plans to build our capacity ... are based on the needs of defending, maintaining and promoting our national interests," Kumar said. He also added that as a result of Chinese activities they are forced to "put the Indian Ocean under surveillance."

In addition, the head of the Indian Navy explained that the country buys a large amount of Russian weapons. He stated that Russian military equipment technology can be trusted, adding that India "has been supported by Russia for many years." He also suggested drawing lessons from the Ukraine conflict, in particular "naval blockades and the use of drones and precision munitions."

💬 President Vladimir Putin:

The goal of that part of the West is to weaken, divide and ultimately destroy our country.

They are saying openly now that in 1991 they managed to split up the Soviet Union and now is the time to do the same to Russia, which must be divided into numerous regions that would be at deadly feud with each other.

They devised these plans long ago.

They encouraged groups of international terrorists in the Caucasus and moved NATO’s offensive infrastructure close to our borders.

They used indiscriminate Russophobia as a weapon, including by nurturing the hatred of Russia for decades, primarily in Ukraine, which was designed to become an anti-Russia bridgehead.

They turned the Ukrainian people into cannon fodder and pushed them into a war with Russia, which they unleashed back in 2014.

#Romania is reportedly seeking to purchase the Iron Dome missile defense system

Romania is “very keen” to acquire Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday. Regardless of whether the sale goes through or not, Romanian Defense Minister Vasile Dincu said he wants to step up weapons purchases from the Jewish state.

Romania’s interest in the deal, which would make it the first NATO country to field the Israeli system, was attributed by Haaretz to anonymous sources. However, the news follows a visit by Dincu to Israel last week.

Dincu did not mention the Iron Dome in an interview with the newspaper, but said Bucharest wishes “to improve our military and security cooperation with Israel in many areas.”
“We want to learn from Israel how to improve [our] military,” he explained. “Because of its experience, Israel has the best knowledge of the subject.”

Funded by Israel and the US, the Iron Dome was first deployed by Israel in 2011. It most recently saw action during Israel’s three-day operation against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in August, with Israel claiming that its radars and missile batteries detected and intercepted 97% of rockets launched from the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.

Despite its apparent efficacy, Israel has not managed to find many foreign customers for the system. While a number of nations – including Canada, Finland, India, and Singapore – have bought its radar component, only the US and Azerbaijan are confirmed to have bought its missile batteries, with the US Army buying only two. Cyprus reportedly agreed to buy the system last month, while Germany is also considering acquiring it, according to recent reports.

Romania’s interest in Israeli weaponry is also financial. Romanian factories already manufacture components for Israeli drones, turrets and other equipment, and Dincu wants to expand on this, and to sell Israeli arms to Romania’s NATO allies.

As the US jointly developed the Iron Dome, any sale of the system to a foreign country needs Washington’s approval.
