New Delhi: After getting a befitting reply from Indian soldiers in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, the Chinese Navy has also got a shock. In fact, a few days ago the Chinese spy vessel Yuan Wang entered the Indian Ocean region. Now out of this area. Navy sources gave this information on Tuesday.
Sources said, the Chinese scientific research vessel (Yuan Wang-5), which entered the Indian Ocean region a few days ago, has now left the region. The ship was under constant surveillance by Indian Navy assets including Long Range Surveillance Drones and Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
The sources said the ship was under constant surveillance by Indian Navy assets including long-range drones and maritime patrol aircraft. The Indian Navy was monitoring the Chinese research vessel from the time it entered the Indian Ocean region.
The vessel, fitted with tracking and monitoring equipment, had arrived in the Indian Ocean region from the Sunda Strait. In the Indian Ocean Region, the Indian Navy ensures that the Navy maintains a comprehensive maritime domain awareness in the region.
Significantly, efforts have been made by China to increase the deployment of research ships in the Indian Ocean region. Yuan Wang-5 camped at Sri Lanka’s Hambantota port in August. Which was from 16 to 22 August.
Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar said earlier this month that the Indian Navy is closely monitoring all developments in the Indian Ocean, including the movement of Chinese Navy ships that operate in the region.
He said a lot of Chinese ships operating in the Indian Ocean region. We have about 4-6 PLA Navy ships, then a few research vessels that operate. A large number of fishing vessels operate in the Indian Ocean region, he said. We are closely monitoring all the developments.
The Navy chief said that around 60 additional regional forces are always present in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). “We know it’s an important area where there’s a lot of trade that transits, energy flows,” he said. Our job is to see that India’s interests in the maritime domain are protected.
