Terrorism at sea is a reality: Navy Chief

On Laskar-e-Toiba activating its sea wing as revealed by Abu Jundal, Indian Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma said: "We had always assumed this will happen. We have already factored in this in our training." 


 
"It is imperative that we recognize the new challenges emerging out of the prevalent uncertain environment and adopt a strategy to address the changing nature of conflict. Besides conventional challenges and geopolitical forces, terrorism from the sea and terrorism at sea are now realities of our times.  In our external environment one of our core concerns is the coalescing of the ‘State’ with ‘non-State’ entities; both of which, individually, in collaboration or as hybrid create a high degree of uncertainty.  Our maritime strategy intends to ensure that there is no schism between the challenges that we face and our capabilities to respond to them. There will always remain uncertainties and adversaries but on our part it is intended to ensure that the levels of asymmetry are never such that they encourage adventurism.
