Why The Indian Navy Wants More P-8Is
The Indian Navy’s P‑8I Poseidon fleet is vital for safeguarding India’s 11,000 km coastline and vast Indian Ocean interests. Capable of long-range patrol, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, and real-time intelligence sharing, it has tracked Chinese submarines, secured sea lanes, and aided disaster relief. With only 12 in service, the Navy seeks more to ensure continuous coverage of strategic chokepoints, reduce fleet strain, and maintain deterrence. Expanding the fleet strengthens India’s maritime domain awareness and rapid-response capability in a contested region.

LCA Navy used to be criticized in every Navy week press release, but not a peep out of anyone re the MiG. Also do research, the ‘concessions’ accepted for the Rafale but deemed unacceptable for the Navy Mk2.
