Coast Guard primarily for within Indian EEZ
Why cant coast guard also do some anti piracy? They can certainly gain from experience. If their

ATGS should be used in ladhak area. They can be transported by heli.If the Vajra being 50 ton can be moved there so can the ATGS.

They should have gone for incremental upgrades for every 300 guns.
