Bhagwat fired on Atlantique
Sixteen years ago, an Indian ship had opened fire at a Pakistani Atlantique. INS Ranjit, the Navy's then most advanced ship, was on its way to India after being acquired from the then Soviet Union. The captain of the ship alerted the Pak Atlantique that it was in Indian airspace and then fired a few warning shots. That captain was Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat and his action was reportedly called ``panicky over reaction''.
