According to the analysis of the war research, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Maldives said that after negotiations, the withdrawal time of the Indian troops stationed in the country has been finalized, and the withdrawal is expected to be completed within two months. In recent months, the president of the Maldives has been demanding that India withdraw its troops, arguing that the Maldives, as a peaceful country dominated by tourism, should not have foreign troops, and although the country is only a small archipelago with a sparse population, it does not want to be controlled by any foreign country in its military, diplomatic and other aspects. Although India has made many excuses not to withdraw its troops, after all, it has to respect that the Maldives is a sovereign country, so it can only bow its head and give in.
The reason why India wants to station troops in the Maldives, a neighboring country with only tourism, is not really of great military significance, but to highlight India's chauvinistic idea that the Indian Ocean is the sea of Indians. That is to say, India wants to be the hegemon of the Indian Ocean, ensure India's absolute security in the direction of the ocean, and at the same time control this strategic sea area connecting the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. It's just that although India's heart is higher than the sky, its naval strength, which is the foundation of its hegemony in the Indian Ocean, has not necessarily improved much over the years. Originally, India was the only Asian country in the post-World War II period with a large aircraft carrier with a navy, although this also relied on the purchase of aircraft carriers from Britain and Russia, but after all, its carrier-based pilot team was the only seedling in Asia.
However, India started earlier than China in the race to build its own domestic aircraft carriers, and now it is far behind China. Located in Kerala, the Indian Ship Design Center was built with an investment of billions of rupees, and the facilities are luxurious, designing the aircraft carrier "Vikrant" for the Indian Navy, and developing supporting technologies such as anti-corrosion materials, advanced sonar, anti-submarine technology, noise and vibration. India's Cochin Shipyard is the "royal shipyard" of its navy, and it has a very deep understanding of the aircraft carrier structure from the maintenance of British aircraft carriers to the maintenance of Soviet-Russian aircraft carriers, and it is the only one to undertake the construction of the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier. However, the construction period of this aircraft carrier was far beyond plan, and it returned to the dock after several vigorous launching ceremonies.
Now the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier seems to have finally come to fruition, but in the final analysis, it is just a glide take-off aircraft carrier that combines the characteristics of British and Russian aircraft carriers. India has also signed a contract with France to import the Rafale carrier-based aircraft, which has shocked the outside world, not because the amount of money is huge, after all, India has become accustomed to choosing only expensive ones for foreign military purchases. What is surprising is that the "Rafale" carrier-based aircraft does not match the elevator of the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier, and if it is used on this aircraft carrier, either the "Rafale" carrier-based aircraft will change the folding wings, or the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier will change the elevator, no matter how you choose, it will cost a lot of time and money, and the "Vikrant" will have to wait until the year of the monkey to fully form its combat effectiveness.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that although India has built a domestically produced "Vikrant" aircraft carrier and is clamoring that its combat strength surpasses that of China's aircraft carrier, the purpose of purchasing the "Rafale" carrier-based aircraft is to further draw military relations with Europe, and at the same time, of course, India is also drawing closer military relations with the United States and Japan. In the confrontation with China, India is actually panicking, so it is throwing a lot of money more than in the past to buy "friends" to embolden itself.
