India's 'Pandavas' Guard Ships in Hormuz: Navigating Crisis with Silent Strategy

• India deploys five warships in the Strait of Hormuz under 'Operation Urja Suraksha' to protect Indian vessels amidst US-Israel and Iran conflict.
• These Indian Navy ships, dubbed 'Pandavas', ensure safe passage for crude oil and LNG carriers, crucial for India's energy security.
• The operation involves a multi-layered security shield: real-time route guidance, back-channel diplomacy, and technical assistance like hydrographic charts to avoid underwater threats.
• Indian Navy escorts ships in the Gulf of Oman after they cross the dangerous Strait of Hormuz, maintaining constant contact and providing real-time threat inputs.
• LPG tankers like 'Pine Gas' and 'Jag Vasant' have successfully passed through, demonstrating the mission's effectiveness, while humanitarian aid is also provided to stranded ships.
