Chinese Twisted Thinking Out In The Open
INS VIKRAMADITYA a modified refurbished Kiev class aircraft carrier entered service with the Indian Navy in 2013. The ship has been named in honour of Vikramaditya, a legendary 1st century BC emperor of India, famed for his wisdom, valour and magnanimity. This aircraft carrier replaced the then serving aircraft carrier, INS VIRAT which was then decommissioned.
A fire broke out in the Indian aircraft carrier INS VIKRAMADITYA while it was entering harbor in Karnataka’s Karwar last Friday. The fire killed a naval officer who led the firefighting efforts in the affected compartment. The details and the cause of the fire is yet to be announced by Indian naval authorities.
However the FAMED Chinese military experts who have not seen what is war after the Chinese Forces received their last drubbing from the Vietnamese Army in the seventies have already come to Confucius conclusions.
They have started drooling WISDOM to uplift the morale of their Forces by stating that India’s military culture cannot keep up with its ambitious weapon and equipment development, which might be the reason behind its aircraft carrier’s fatal fire.
Li Jie, a Beijing-based naval expert, has commented that the fire was more likely to be out of human error rather than mechanical problems. The fire and the extinguishing process suggested that they are unprofessional and unprepared to address such an emergency, he said.
Purchases from other countries also increase the management challenge for the Indian military as weapons and equipment are made with different standards of different manufacturers, Li said.
India has been actively developing its military in recent years, but “its military culture is lax and it has loose regulations,” which cannot effectively train soldiers to operate advanced military equipment, said Li Jie.
Well Jie, India has been operating aircraft carrier since 1961, when probably the Chinese Navy had not even seen one. Unlike the Chinese Carrier LIAONING, bought from an erstwhile state of Soviet Union and which is nothing more than a rust bucket even now, the Indian Ship is a fighting fit ship.
Its very name sends shiver down the spine of the People Liberation Army Navy. No wonder, the PLAN flotilla sent to show solidarity with the ousted Maldivian President Abdullah Yameen, a goon in the payroll of the Chinese, turned tail right after crossing the Sunda Strait.
Why ? because the PLAN received a message that a few thousand km away, near the Maldives, was exercising the mighty INS VIKRAMADITYA ….that is why. Then Li Jie, was no where to be found to give his expert analysis.
India’s nuclear submarine, Arihant was left out of commission after water rushed in as a hatch on the rear side was left open by mistake while it was at harbor in early 2017, the Hindu reported on January 2018. Li Jie by now must have analyzed that the report was Leaked to confuse and fool people like him while India quietly tested and readied its 5000 km range SLBM and also commissioned its second nuclear SSBN.
Li has been noting down all the mishaps taking place in the Indian Navy from time to time. He has concluded that there are lax regulations as sailors may neglect or fail to obey the rules on handling advanced equipment. Li Jie, Indian Navy takes all such mishaps very seriously like all other Navies, but unlike PLAN.
Deliberate mistakes or negligence are punished. However genuine mistakes or accidents also occur, when soldiers train to fight. Indian Navy does not “ train “ for just paying homage to certain political Commissar. PLAN has no accidents because its ship are protected by party commissars or because they hardly venture out?
The most hilarious line which was printed in the Chinese news was that “The carrier’s fire also sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens as the fire was accurately predicted by Zhang Zhaozhong, a retired Chinese rear admiral and prominent military commentator.
Well we Indians were not aware of this wonderful astrologer available with the Chinese Navy who can predict accidents about to take place in the Indian Navy. The recent explosion at the Chinese Naval facility at Djibouti was probably just air escaping out of the rear of this Zhang Admiral. We are also eagerly waiting to see the fire and smoke coming out of this Rear type Admiral regarding the next mishap on Liaoning and its new Chinese built companion, soon to be going out on Commissioning trials.
