The Asian press notes that the ultimate goal of New Delhi is the complete displacement of China from the Indian Ocean. This task is extremely ambitious. Its implementation may face great difficulties, not only technologically, but also economically and politically.

At the same time, Beijing is also not standing still and is actively developing its naval forces. Experts suggest that its number is capable of reaching 550 ships in five to six years. This is extremely worrying for India, so it is trying to keep up.

The Indian military intends to pay great attention to the submarine fleet. So, at the beginning of this year, it was announced that India, together with French specialists, is working on air-independent thrust (AIP) technology to improve Indian Kalvari-class submarines. It allows conventional submarines to stay underwater for several weeks, which brings them closer in "endurance" to nuclear submarines.

Earlier, The Times of India newspaper reported that by 2030, India intends to increase the number of Naval forces by 30 percent. This means that the Indian Navy will bypass Russia and China and take second place after the United States. Of course, if New Delhi manages to implement these plans and if Moscow and Beijing do not develop their military fleet.
