Imagine being a hardworking Indian shipyard worker, doing the best you can to toe the line between "floating" and "not floating", and then some idiot online blames the CIA for your handicraft.

Imagine being a CIA agent working 60 hours a week shilling for India online only for the Indians to start blaming you because a dalit forgot to the close the hatch when his submarine dives
Yeah, it is evidenced by the orange liftjackets most soldiers were wearing. Compared to soldiers on the right side arriving on vehicles.
The Indians seemed to try to climb over the hill ridge to escape to the Indian controlled side.
Curiously, the case of today's INS Brahmaputra was not the first. INS Betwa had similar incident back in 2016 and curiously also in same Shipyard.
I am really struggling on this one
Fire was brought under control by sinking the ship.
A good one, You seems to have a counter on Indian mental gymnastics routine and I applaud you for that... Lol

This is a sad sight. The Brahmaputra-class frigates are interesting as the final evolution of the design series running from the UK Type 12 Whitby-class frigates of the mid-1950s through Rothesay and Leander and then to Indian Nilgiri, Godavari and finally Brahmaputra-class designs. Here is an reflecting the diverse heritage of these ships and their formative role in the development of India's indigenous naval shipbuilding capacity:
Their role in the Indian inventory has essentially been succeeded by the Russian-origin Talwar series, a continuation of the Pr. 1135 Krivak series, and from which Russia's Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates were subsequently derived in turn. The Indian Navy has six of these ships in service and two more awaiting delivery from Russia in the coming months. A launch ceremony for the first of two Indian-built ships in this series was held .
I wonder if they are gonna attempt to return the ship back to active duty or just decommission and scrap it. It is a relatively outdated ship, and many of its components are likely to be imported. If they do wanna return this ship to active duty, then how long and how much is it gonna take? Repair or scrap? Which option is more feasible? Considering the pace of Indian shipbuilding and procurement, both options are also slow. Its just that which is gonna be less slow? Hmm... decisions, decisions...
