A submarine at periscope depth is vulnerable to visual and radar counter detection. This is a video of an Indian SSK operating near a Pakistani harbor in 2019. While conducting snorkel operations, it was observed by a Pakistani maritime helicopter.

Question why did they snorkel in hostile waters? Who had watch on the ESM???

That feed looks exactly like what we get from the Wescam MX15 EOs fitted to our Dash8 MPAs here in Australia 🇦🇺. I don’t get to play with them much as a pilot. Though I did use ours to check out the Moon and Venus the other night. 😂 We don’t often see our Collins class subs doing this. They’re either on the surface, or they pull down their masts when they detect our radar signature on their ESM if the levels get high enough to scare them. They don’t like being detected. Even by ‘friendlies’. 🤣

Oh

The time signature says 20:35 and in that region they would have cover of darkness - but clearly they were not expecting to get detected by IR 😂

ESM? what ESM? their ESM mast isn't up by the look of things haha

Our Collins class crews sure are smart, BZ to them o7

I wondered what the snorkeling exhaust looked like on the surface. I had a poor view from inside.

Alexander

Not to offend the Indian Navy but that's a taff comparison, the Indians may have the more modern Sub but the Collins class Crews are playing in another league. In my humble opinion at least. I only ask my self for how long they can make up for the leak on a prober Plattform whit all the BS goning at the Baracuda procurment! Are you flying from Albatross or Carinas? Cherrs Alex

Alexander

Yes i noticed that too but on a live Mission in foreign waters raising your ESM-MAST should been SOP.

I see three "masts" sticking out of the water. The rear most is obviously the snorkel mast. Not sure about the middle one( kinda looks like a skinny ww2 or early cold war optical periscope. However what caught my eye is the forward most scope/mast. At around the 30 second mark you can clearly see it rotate! Looks very similar to USN Photonic Masts, including what looks like a tiny ESM nub on top. Here is a photo of that ESM nub on one of our Virginia masts: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Kollmorgen%E2%80%99s_Photonics_Mast.gif

Hey Seahour, as far as I can see the raised mast are the snorkel, attack scope and the search scope which has an ESM capability that makes me wonder even more why they didn't react or perhaps they did but too late the PAK Navy didn't find them without Radar especially given the Night-time. I have find an Indian Newsclip (Link below) in which the Indians Bragg about that the whole thing was intentional by the Indian Navy to spook the PAK Navy, very funny starts at 06:09 min. https://www.indiatoday.in/programme/5ive-live/video/indian-navy-debunks-pakistan-claim-of-thwarting-indian-attack-1470958-2019-03-05

I think so as well. I posted my comment before looking at the diagram jive posted of the mast layout. Those three fit perfectly with the video. I have the same thoughts regarding the apparent lack of reaction from the sub while being watched from a chopper. That link is funny!

kaesees .

Somebody forgot to check what the ESM mast says before raising the other masts! :V
