Russia and Ukraine are fighting like glue, and everyone in NATO countries is at risk, but it is not Biden who is most anxious to catch fire, but Modi – it turns out that this "unexpected" war is putting India's future "big navy" plan at great risk, and may even be completely ruined.
According to the Global Network quoted by the Russian News Agency, on the 14th local time, Ukrainian citizens uploaded videos on the Internet, confirming that a "strategic factory" in Ukraine was attacked by the Russian army, at least one factory was blown up, and the specific losses could not be measured for the time being. It seems that there is no problem in blowing up an enemy factory in the war, but Russia's "good friend" India is suddenly anxious - the factory you bombed has a lot to do with India's future.
In fact, as long as it has been verified, the attitude of Indians in a hurry and panic is very reasonable. Because the factory that blew up Russia this time is the famous Ukrainian "Dawn" design and manufacturing plant. Completed in the 1950s, the plant in Nikolayev was the most important large-scale gas turbine research and manufacturing complex of the Soviet era, and was once known as the "Southern Steam Turbine Factory". Its prestige is not to say that in the Soviet era, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia had to import a large number of gas turbines from the plant to support the construction of a modern navy, for the simple reason that the plant's gas turbines were more advanced than Russia's own production. However, since Ukraine no longer exports gas turbines to Russia as early as 2014, Putin did not hesitate at all to blow up the Shuguang Factory this time.
But Russia does not care, but indians cannot afford not to care, because India is the big customer of this factory. According to statistics, there are currently about 30 warships in India using marine gas turbines designed and manufactured by Shuguang Factory, including light and fast Veer-class guided missile boats, old Rajput-class destroyers, and the most advanced Delhi-class, Kolkata-class and Visakhapanan-class destroyers... Moreover, in the future "big navy" plan of the Indian Navy, the future Indian "large destroyers" and more advanced "stealth destroyers" will be equipped with marine gas turbines from the Shuguang Factory, and as a result, Russia will blow up the Shuguang Factory.
Sharma, a retired officer of the Indian Navy, has publicly warned on the Internet program that although India has joined forces with the construction of the Visakhapatnam-class destroyer, its Goa Naval Shipyard and Shuguang Factory have jointly built a major repair center for marine gas turbines in India, which can undertake certain maintenance and overhaul work, but a large number of key parts are still imported from Ukraine. Now after the Dawn factory was attacked by the Russian army, it is still unknown when it will be able to resume production, which is completely a "bad news" for India - in the worst case, if the Indian Navy can not get the supporting parts for a long time, then the Indian Navy's main warships can sail normally Mileage and time, I am afraid it will have to be calculated "with fingers".
Moreover, in addition to the Dawn Factory, the Russian attack on the Antonov Factory also made India uneasy, after all, India still has a large number of Antonov products, and Modi's large ticket An-32 transport aircraft is still waiting to be upgraded. It can be said that the war between Russia and Ukraine has severely affected India, the "pond fish". But in the final analysis, these injuries suffered by India are entirely due to India's own lack of ambition and its reluctance to develop its own relevant industries under the original favorable international environment, resulting in India's heavy dependence on imports of military equipment from Russia, Ukraine, Israel and other countries. In contrast, China, which was once restricted everywhere, has now become the "big brother" of the world's shipbuilding industry, and the manufacturing capacity of related subsystems has even surpassed Russia, I don't know if Modi will see all this today, or will he clamor to use the "future naval plan" to seek confrontation with the Chinese navy?
