I am living in the country where people seems to be patriotic but when it comes to delivering the work that they have in their hand with responsibilities then we find out a lot of irresponsibility from our leaders or so called bureaucrats.
On Thursday Australia’s ‘The Australian’ newspaper uploaded a fresh tranche of leaked documents relating to information about operating instructions of underwater warfare system of the six Scorpene submarines which are being built in India by French firm DCNS.
However, a top defence analyst allayed fears that it could compromise the security of the strategically important combat vessels.
Like in the previous case, the newspaper has blacked out all details which it felt would compromise India’s security interests.
However, the new set of documents, with Indian Navy insignia on it and marked “Restricted Scorpene India”, gives details about the sonar system of the submarines which is used to gather intelligence underwater.
It talks about a wide range of technical specifications of the sonars and at what degree and frequency it will function.
The documents detail the “Operating Instruction Manual”, which talks about how to select a target for weapon firing, weapon configuration selection, among others.
Though the Navy has not yet officially reacted to the release of new documents, sources maintained that it does not compromise national security.
They said the same information about a submarine was on “many naval defence websites”.
DCNS is focusing its investigation on former employees and sub-contractors involved in the project. At this stage, it is not thought that the leak came from India.
Hope we can have something better way to keep our defense secrets secretly. Although our leaders are so confident that they are not having major documents of leaks but we never the story behind the curtain.
