  • The Navy has carried out a mega exercise in the Arabian Sea that involved two aircraft carriers, multiple warships, submarines and over 35 frontline planes.
  • Aircraft carriers INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant were the centrepiece of the exercise as they served as floating airfields for a wide array of aircraft, including MiG-29K fighter jets, MH-60R, Kamov, Sea King, Chetak and ALHs
  • It is the first mega exercise involving the two aircraft carriers after the induction of the indigenously built INS Vikrant in September.
  • The warships can be positioned anywhere, allowing increased flexibility, timely response to emerging threats and sustained air operations to safeguard national interests.
