    Prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Kubiak Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego INDYJSKA ROZBUDOWA MORSKICH ZDOLNOŚCI OBRONNYCH. PRZYPADEK ANDAMANÓW I NIKOBARÓW INDIA'S DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME DEFENSE CAPABILITIES. THE CASE OF ANDAMANS AND NICOBARS Streszczenie: O indyjskim Połączonym Dowództwie Andamanów i Nikobarów (ang. Andaman and Nicobar Command) światowa opinia publiczna dowiedziała się po zaginięciu w marcu 2014 roku malezyjskiego samolotu komunikacyjnego (lot 370). Wtedy to przez agencyjne ser- wisy przemknęła informacja, że całością niebagatelnych sił indyjskich wydzielonych do akcji poszukiwawczej (sześć okrętów, trzy jednostki Straży Wybrzeża, cztery samoloty, w tym najno- wocześniejsze indyjskie morskie maszyny patrolowe Boeing P-8I Neptune i kilka śmigłowców Mi-8) prowadzonej na rozległych akwenach południowo-wschodniej części Oceanu Indyjskie- go Surface dowodzi właśnie Commander-in-Chief Andaman and Nicobar Command (czyli Do- wódca Andamanów i Nikobarów, CICNAC). Dla większości odbiorców wiadomość ta nie miała zgoła żadnego znaczenia, gdyż świat frapował się losem zaginionej maszyny i jej pasażerów, w związku z czym nie wywołała żadnego echa. Z kolei profesjonaliści zajmujący się sytuacją po- lityczno-wojskową basenu Oceanu Indyjskiego zaskoczeni nią nie byli, gdyż już od kilkunastu lat obserwowali (i obserwują) konsekwentne i uporczywe wysiłki Indii ukierunkowane na roz- budowę potencjału wojskowego w rejonie owych grup wysp.
