ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Navy’s counter-axis/area denial strategy has pushed back the Indian aircraft carrier as India has withdrawn its INS Vikrant, which was earlier deployed at the INS Kadamba Naval Base in Karwar, Karnataka, near the Pakistan border.

According to the latest satellite images, the Indian aircraft carrier INS Vikrant has suddenly arrived at the Indian port of Karwar. INS Vikrant was at sea for only a few days. According to the Indian Navy, INS Vikrant was deployed in the Arabian Sea in view of the recent tension between Pakistan and India. The Indian government had deployed INS Vikrant on April 23 near Pakistani territorial waters in the North Arabian Sea. Due to the presence and continuous patrolling of the Pakistan Navy in the sea, the Indian Navy decided to recall the aircraft carrier.

According to the latest satellite intelligence (IMINT) images taken on April 26, 2025, INS Vikrant has turned back to the Karwar port. According to satellite images taken on April 23, INS Vikrant was moving towards the open waters of the Arabian Sea.

The deployment of INS Vikrant was a cause for commotion in the Indian media and social media. An aircraft carrier is not deployed in the open sea for just a few days. If the Pakistan Navy’s “Carrier Killer” missile system is operational at sea, retreat is the only safe option.
