According to the latest news of the Indian Navy on January 19, local time on Tuesday, the Indian Navy "JeanVille" guided missile destroyer in the Mumbai naval base dock a violent explosion, the scene shrouded in a thick smoke, and then the Indian military sent a large number of soldiers to block the scene, and dispatched firefighting forces to control the fire, as of now, the displacement of 5,000 tons of destroyer fire has been controlled, the Indian army after preliminary investigation found that an explosion of unknown cause in an internal cabin, resulting in at least 3 sailors killed on the spot, Eleven others were injured. According to reports, after the accident, the Indian military ordered a thorough investigation of the cause of the explosion of the warship, especially to find out whether there was an "internal ghost" behind the scenes.
Despite the serious explosion accident, the Indian Navy quickly "mourned", declaring that after the explosion, the Indian sailors "immediately responded", so that the fire was quickly controlled and did not cause major material losses. However, despite this, the Indian Navy was still very dissatisfied with the accident and set up a special high-level team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the cause of the accident.
According to reports, the explosion accident is the Indian Navy's oldest "Rajput" class guided missile destroyer, the Indian Navy in the 1970s from the Soviet Union purchased 5, the ship is actually the Soviet "Kasin" class destroyer Indian version, full load displacement of nearly 5,000 tons, length of 147 meters, width of 15.8 meters, as the world's first destroyer equipped with gas turbine engines, the ship's top speed reached 35 knots.
In the field of armament, after the transformation of the "Rajput" class destroyer, the original "Styx" anti-ship missile was replaced with the "BrahMos" supersonic anti-ship missile jointly developed by India and Russia, which is known as a significant increase in firepower, but despite this, this is also an old ship that has been in service for 40 years, so the Indian Navy has begun to gradually retire it, and the first "Rajput" class destroyer has been retired from service.
According to reports, this is not the first serious accident in recent years in the Indian Navy, in 2013, the Indian Navy's "Sinduraksak" Kilo-class submarine exploded in the harbor, the violent explosion caused the submarine to sink rapidly, 18 sailors escaped and died, the Indian military's subsequent investigation showed that the reason for the explosion and sinking of the 3,000-ton submarine was the submarine soldier "misoperation", launched 2 anti-ship missiles, 1 of which hit the port explosion, and the other 1 exploded inside the submarine. It eventually became the world's first submarine to "sink itself.".
This is not the end, the indian navy is currently testing the first domestic aircraft carrier "Vikrant" also reported a scandal, the Indian military admitted that the aircraft carrier was stolen during the outfitting of the shipyard, unidentified personnel evaded the shipyard and the Indian Navy's guard posts, touched the heavily guarded aircraft carrier island, and stole the computer hard disk in the command compartment of the aircraft carrier, which caused a dissatisfaction in India, believing that this may lead to the leakage of Indian aircraft carrier secrets, although the Indian military carried out a so-called thorough investigation with great fanfare, but in the end it was not resolved. The outside world generally believes that the Indian Navy's loose military discipline and style are the main reasons for the continuous accidents, and it is also the biggest chronic disease affecting the combat effectiveness of the Indian Navy.
