Indian Navy Conducts Operation Bharat And Pirates Encounter The Maritime Power Of The Country. India Has Already Recovered Several Ships With Goods And Others For Fishing That Were In The Hands Of Pirates.
The United States and its Western allies are engaged in the Red Sea with Operation Guardian of Prosperity. Their battle is against the Houthis, who do everything to disrupt international transport and attack vessels at sea. Fortunately, with Operation Bharat, the Indian Navy has taken on the task and is ensuring that pirates do not take advantage of tensions in West Asia to attack and hijack ships.
Unlike the so-called blue waters navies that claim to operate anywhere in the world, the Indian Navy is pursuing pirates at a dizzying pace thousands of miles from its shores.
The most recent example of the Indian Navy’s proactivity is the release of the hijacked merchant vessel MV Ruen, which had been besieged since December of last year and was being used for piracy. The Indian Navy is going above and beyond to rescue ships, regardless of their country of origin.

Indian Navy Frees Hijacked Merchant Vessel MV Ruen
To rescue the ship, India launched the Operation Sankalp, as part of a 40-hour mission that was conducted 2,600 km off the Indian coast. The Indian Navy deployed its warship INS Kolkata, long-range Sea Guardian drones, P-8I surveillance aircraft, and parachuted elite MARCOS commandos from an Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft.
The activity ended with the Indian Navy rescuing 17 crew members, including seven from Bulgaria. On social media, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev praised the brave action of Operation Bharat and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi, in turn, stated that the Indian Navy is committed to protecting freedom of navigation and combating piracy and terrorism in the Indian Ocean region.
World Witnesses The Power Of The Indian Navy
The pirates’ decision to capitalize on tensions in the Red Sea has given India the chance to play a more assertive role in a region that has never seen the type of deployment of the Indian Navy that is currently being witnessed.
The Operation Bharat Significantly Increased Its Deployment Of Large Surface Ships And Aircraft To Counteract The Pirates And Provide Much-Needed Relief To Both The American And British Navies. New Delhi Increased Its Surface Deployments From Two Ships To 12 In The Gulf Of Aden, Which Seems To Be The Largest Naval Deployment Of The Indian Navy In A Specific Region.
In this way, it is no surprise that the world is recognizing and appreciating India’s contribution to protecting freedom of navigation and combating terrorists at sea. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in a phone call with Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh, praised the role played by the Indian Navy in conducting anti-piracy Operation Bharat in the Indian Ocean region.
Another Rescue Operation By The Indian Navy
Among the most significant missions that India has undertaken in the region lately, the rescue of a hijacked fishing vessel Al Naeemi also stands out. This is due to the fact that the Indian Navy rescued 19 Pakistani crew members from the ship. The Pakistani ship was hijacked by about 11 Somali pirates, 800 miles off the coast of Kochi. It is worth noting that Pakistan also has a navy.
However, what it lacks is the willingness to undertake bold missions at sea. Its ally, China, has also not moved to rescue the Pakistanis held captive by the pirates. Interestingly, the rescue of the ship and its crew occurred within 36 hours after the Indian Navy, with INS Sumitra, rescued another fishing vessel, this one belonging to Iran.
