Navies Of India And Japan Are Carrying Military Exercises

Navies of India and Japan are carrying out complex military exercises in the Arabian Sea amid tensions with China. The navies of India and Japan carried out several complex exercises in the North Arabian Sea on Saturday, the first day of a three-day military exercise, amid continuing tension with China over the border.

This is the first military exercise between the two strategic partners since the September 9 military agreement to use each other’s bases for logistic support. This India-Japan naval exercise ‘Jimex’ is being organized in the backdrop of growing concerns due to Chinese military aggression in the Indian Ocean and Indian Pacific.

The ‘Jimex’ series of exercises began in January 2012 with the aim of increasing naval security cooperation. A previous version of this was organized on the Visakhapatnam coast in October 2018.

Nousena spokesperson said that in the current practice, India-made indigenous Stealth Destroyer ‘Chennai’, TAG class Stealth Frigate ‘Tarkash’ and Fleet Tanker ‘Deepak’ Participated.

While the Japanese Navy participated in the Ijumo Class Helicopter Destroyer ‘Kaga’ and Guided Missile Destroyer ‘Ikajuchi’. Apart from these, patrol aircraft, helicopters and warplanes also participated in the exercise.

It may be known that the Navies of India and Australia had conducted exercises in the Indian Ocean region this week. Whereas in July, the Indian Navy conducted maneuvers with the US.

Explain that in the wake of the border dispute with China, India has increased its deployment in the Indian Ocean region and has deployed several warships and submarines there.

Joint exercise of India and Australia navies

The navies of India and Australia conducted a two-day joint exercise in the Indian Ocean from Wednesday amid ongoing tensions with China on the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

During the exercise, both armies have landed with complex naval skills, anti-aircraft drills, and a full range of helicopter operations.

This is the fourth important military drill of the Indian Navy since June. Earlier, a similar naval exercise with the US, Japan, and Russia has been completed.
