Indian Navy Was Minutes Away From Striking Pakistan From Sea During Op Sindoor, Says Navy Chief
Admiral Dinesh Tripathi said the navy reached an advanced stage of readiness, while more than 20 merchant vessels were attacked in the West Asia conflict.
- On Wednesday, Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi revealed the Indian Navy was "minutes away from striking Pakistan" from the sea during Operation Sindoor, before halting after Pakistan requested a cessation of kinetic actions.
- Operation Sindoor followed the Pahalgam terror attack, with naval units maintaining a highly aggressive posture throughout the period and reinforcing national confidence in their operational capabilities.
- Beyond combat operations, Admiral Tripathi highlighted the Indian Navy's focus on Atmanirbharta, enabling the commissioning of 12 ships and submarines in a single year, while executing Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief missions including Operation Brahma and Operation Sagar Bandhu.
- Regarding the conflict involving Israel and Iran, the Navy Chief reported more than 20 merchant vessels have been attacked. Nearly 1,900 vessels remain stranded, with traffic through the Strait of Hormuz falling from about 130 to six-seven transits.
- Seas are no longer secondary theaters for continental conflicts, Admiral Tripathi emphasized. Evolving technology and tactics have reshaped maritime warfare, making non-traditional challenges more complex and less predictable for the Indian Navy to counter.
