The sea phase of MILAN-2024, a biennial naval exercise, kicked off with a remarkable display of cooperation among ships and aircraft from the global community alongside the Indian Navy, off the Visakhapatnam coast, here on Sunday.
The high-intensity sea phase spanning air, surface, and undersea domains, commenced on Saturday with a powerful display of naval prowess. On day two, participants carried out a series of advanced exercises, covering all three dimensions of maritime warfare, including weapon firing against surface and high-speed aerial targets, anti-submarine warfare, cross-deck landings, carrier operations, and seamanship evolutions such as replenishment at sea.
“The MILAN-2024 sea phase serves as a testament to the commitment of the participating nations towards promoting peace, stability, and interoperability in the maritime domain. As the exercise progresses, the world witnesses a united front of naval forces actively building bridges and strengthening global maritime security,” the official release stated.
