Starts by saying I am at a restricted Naval base where civlians and Cameras are not allowed and camera man starts to pan for panoramic shot. Another issue is that its mentioned that some areas are blurred for security reasons in the video. Is the original is still wit the channel or is destroyed by the Navy? These kind of invitiation to such channels that is not into defense reporting is extremely risky. Should be avoided if possible.
I Spent 24 Hours Inside India’s Deadliest Submarine!
No sunlight. No network. No space. This is what life looks like inside India Navy’s deadliest submarines. On this special Republic Day episode, JK Paper and Curly Tales present Sandese Aate Hain — a powerful tribute to the silent warriors of the Indian Navy. In this episode, Kamiya Jani steps inside three operational submarines and experiences what it truly takes to be a naval submariner — living deep under the ocean in a highly controlled, compact environment where discipline, teamwork, and mental strength are everything. The episode has been shot with the official permission and approval of the Indian Navy. All protocols, security measures, and operational guidelines have been strictly followed during filming.

What You’ll See in This Episode:
* Inside India Navy submarines — life below the ocean
* Cramped sleeping spaces, compact kitchens & tiny washrooms
* Daily routines that keep submariners motivated underwater
* The human side of India’s underwater defence forces
India’s Underwater Power
Kamiya explores three submarines, each representing a different chapter of India’s naval strength — together forming a fleet worth over ₹30,000 crores.
* INS Shishumar – German-made diesel-electric attack submarine.
* INS Sindhuraj – Russian-made Kilo-class long-range submarine.
* INS Vagsheer – Made-in-India Kalvari Class submarine with advanced stealth.

The Indian Navy just had its first two weaponized, unmanned fast interceptor crafts (FICs) dispatched to it from Sagar Defence Engineering.
Dispatched from Sagar Defence's Pune factory, these boats are part of a 12-unit deal and will patrol the west coast.
They're designed for swarm missions and the Navy has previously relied on Israel-made unmanned surface vessels for mine-countermeasure roles.
Each craft can travel over 400 nautical miles on single trip Each craft can travel over 400 nautical miles on a single trip and has an endurance exceeding two days at sea.
They are fitted with a 12.7mm gun and can deploy missiles and loitering munitions—pretty high-tech stuff for remote missions.
Bottom line: more firepower, less risk to human crews
Unlike similar boats from Israel—which mostly handle mines—these Indian FICs bring serious versatility. They can carry over 14 people if needed and work even when GPS is jammed.
Bottom line: more firepower, less risk to human crews, and a big step forward for homegrown naval tech.
Really pathetic from our 1 wonder exam boys/girls of IAS, that to date, we don't have a test site for naval warships. Instead they are sent elsewhere to test. The govt of kerala provided free land but the GOI did not fund it! Luccha buddhi लुच्चा बुद्धि baboons strike again in terms of funding. Without testing how does one move ahead, when you aspire to be #3 in the world.
Why India Tests Its Warships Abroad | The Sandeep Unnithan Show Featuring Capt Ramesh Babu
Why does India, one of the world’s shipbuilding nations, still test and certify its warships abroad?
In this episode of the Sandeep Unnithan Show, naval veteran Capt. Ramesh Babu explains a little-known gap in India’s defence ecosystem: the absence of a dedicated, independent institution for warship design validation, testing, and research.
From a bold but forgotten project called NIRDESH to missed opportunities, bureaucratic roadblocks, and a continental mindset, this episode examines why maritime self-reliance matters more in 2026 than ever before.
// btw Manohar Parrikar recognized NIRDESH and he wanted an international institute to help other regional navies to test. He initiated the go ahead. However he moved to Goa and later succumbed to health issues.
// the current mantriji Rajnath does not take any major decisions and lets baboons run the show.

@Kunal_Biswas707 DRDO’s insane SMART torpedo—strapped to a supersonic missile—is being fast-tracked. Indian Navy green light expected in 2026! 600+ km stand-off range! Enemy submarines won’t even know what hit them—underwater doom incoming! You heard it here first!

Good to hear. The SMART weapon is one of my favorite on my personal list of 'Jawab-e-hind'.
However it is the bullet. We need a lot of optical and auditory assets in places to find out & track the target.
Lots of P-8i, Sea Guardian, ASW ships.. and ultra long endurance USVs.
