Navy requires 12 minesweepers, left with 2: Rear Admiral
The Indian Navy requires at least 12 minesweeper ships and is currently left with only two, Rear Admiral Rajaram Swaminathan revealed. The government is currently looking for a foreign partner for its â¹32,000-crore project to procure 12 such warships after an earlier deal with a South Korean firm failed. The minesweepers detect and destroy water mines laid by the enemy.
