In a remarkable show of strength and readiness, the Indian Navy has executed a large-scale operation in the Arabian Sea, showcasing its combat capabilities. The operation, carried out amidst China's growing presence in the Indian Ocean region, involved the deployment of two aircraft carriers, numerous warships, submarines, and more than 35 advanced frontline aircraft. At the heart of the exercise were the Navy's aircraft carriers—INS Vikramaditya and the recently commissioned INS Vikrant—serving as floating airfields for a diverse fleet of aircraft. This formidable lineup included the MiG-29K fighter jets, as well as a variety of helicopters such as the MH60R, Kamov, and Advanced Light helicopters, according to officials. The operation serves as a significant display of India's naval power projection, showcasing the Navy's preparedness and vigilance in countering potential threats in the region. With China's increased activities in the Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy's demonstration reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding national security interests.
