Three dozen warships of the Navy are expected to take part in the exercise, including frontline destroyers and frigates. Also taking part will be submarines as well as aircraft of the Indian Air Force.

Fighter, reconnaissance and patrol aircraft are part of such exercises. Indian Air Force’s maritime role Jaguars and Su-30 MKIs, and navy’s reconnaissance and patrol aircraft, plus unmanned aerial vehicles, will be deployed.
