India's military industry has long been a joke after people's tea and dinner, not long ago the Indian government forced the French Dassault to pay liquidated damages, because the French Dassault company did not take out half of the total amount of the Rafale fighter jet transaction contract in accordance with the contract signed between India and them in 2016 for the Procurement Documents of indian suppliers, and fed back to India's military technology. So is Dassault France really without a contractual spirit? The answer is clearly no. They themselves argue that India does not have the capacity to absorb French military technology today. In fact, the crotch of the Indian military is not only reflected in the incompetence of military technology, they do not even have the most basic military literacy of the military, the direct embodiment of this move is that India's weapons and equipment maintenance is quite poor, three days and two accidents.
According to the latest report of the Russian Satellite News Agency, just a few days ago, the Indian Navy's "INS Ranvir" destroyer suddenly exploded inside the Indian Navy shipyard in Mumbai, killing three people and injuring 11 others, which is the second major accident in four months since the destroyer caught fire last October. At that time, the destroyer participated in an exercise code-named Malabar jointly held by India, Japan, the United States and Australia, which was essentially aimed at the mainland, and the Indians had been screaming for revenge since they were beaten up in the Galwan Valley clashes on June 25, 2020, and actively attracted other countries to participate in it. As a result, they themselves went out first: the destroyer caught fire just a few days after participating in the exercise, injuring 4 people. In fact, this is not the most jaw-dropping thing that happened in the Indian army during that period, the most interesting thing is that India's toughest defense chief of staff, Admiral Bipin Rawat, crashed while taking a Mi-17 helicopter to the northern border area, killing all 14 people on the plane, except for the general, his wife and the assistant to the defense chief of staff with the rank of brigadier general, who was also on the plane at the time.
Generally speaking, a fire accident on a destroyer is bound to make the Indian Navy more sober and pay more attention to safety protection measures, but what people did not expect is that the "Ranville", which is still one of the main destroyers of the Indian Navy, can make such a low-level mistake again, so what is the cause of this accident? According to the Indian media quoting sources to disclose, the pot of explosion was not on the weapons and ammunition, but on the unmanned air-conditioned room on the ship, it was caused by the leakage of Freon in the unmanned air-conditioned room.
Although there was no crew in the unmanned air-conditioned room at that time, there were three people on the upper deck of the cabin, and the debris flying around after the explosion trapped the three people on the spot, and the flames quickly sucked out the oxygen around them, and the three people most likely died of suffocation. In addition, after the explosion, the performance of the Damage Management Team of the Indian Navy was also very unprofessional, with a large number of people running around but doing nothing, and some people inhaling toxic gases produced after the combustion of Freon suffered internal injuries. Freon is a common refrigerant in air conditioning, at room temperature and pressure is a colorless and odorless gas, but stored in the pressure tank has a certain risk of explosion, after encountering an open flame will also quickly burn to produce toxic gases, the root cause of the accident is likely to be the destroyer Freon storage equipment maintenance is not perfect caused.
Poor maintenance is not uncommon in the Indian Navy, and in 2012 there was an article circulating on social media by a U.S. officer complaining about the chaos on the destroyer Delhi, who said india's work was terrible, there was no risk management mechanism, no safety navigation concept, no electrical safety measures, not even the most basic sound insulation materials, and there was no compliance with sea traffic rules, and no written operating codes. Such a chaotic situation has directly led to the frequent occurrence of various accidents in the Indian Navy, such as the aircraft carrier HMS Vikrant, which is being built in India, which once ignited biogas because a crew member illegally smoked in the toilet next to the shipyard, which not only caused the aircraft carrier to be surrounded by 200 tons of feces, but also caused 16 deaths. In addition, the Indian Navy's first nuclear submarine, the Enemy Destroyer, also had a watertight hatch that forgot to close, causing a large amount of seawater to pour into the submarine, destroying the embarrassing situation of almost all electronic equipment. For the Indian Navy, the most important thing they should do is not to expand the scale of equipment, but to hurry up and make themselves more professional.
