INS Talwar in action

This is five times in a row that Indian Navy war ship that was patrolling the Gulf of Aden has foiled another piracy attempt. The news reported that a vessel called MV Maud sent a distress call. The Indian war ship INS Talwar immediately responded to the call and advised the vessel to increase speed and carry out evasive maneuvers to avoid getting boarded.

Also a helicopter with Marine Commandos was sent to the rescue site. The commandos emptied the skiff of its fuel and set it adrift as INS returned to her patrolling duties while warships from other navies arrived on the scene for follow up action.
