Shockingly this report exposes the preparedness of India in the eventuality of a war. Are we ready for it ? Ofcourse Not seems to be the unambigious answer ...
The shocking revelations of the report were:
Only seven of India's 16 submarines are available for combat at any time.
10 of these 16 ageing submarines will be due for phase-out by 2012.
To maintain current numbers, one submarine needs to be inducted every two years but there's been no addition since 2001.
India's only submarine-making facility in Mumbai was kept idle for 12 years.
