To strengthen the Indian Ocean region, the Indian Navy is going to commission a new naval base, INS Jatayu, at Minikai Island in Lakshadweep. The event is likely to take place on March 4 or 5. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is likely to attend this grand event. 🌐
The defense department hopes that the activities of Pakistan, Maldives and China can be monitored precisely from this naval base. Moreover, it will be easier to take action against Somalia pirates. INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant will also arrive at this time. A meeting of commanders will also be held on this. On this occasion, the Indian Navy will showcase its capabilities. Besides, submarine and carrier battle group will also be displayed. Maldives is only 524 km from the INS Jatayu Naval Base at Minikai. 🚤
15 warships with Vikramaditya-Vikrant
When Defense Minister Rajnath Singh leaves for Minikai Island in INS Vikramaditya or Vikrant, seven of his 15 warships will be with him. That means the entire attacking fleet is together. This will inform the world about India's naval strength. The Indian Defense Department hopes that a strong message will be sent to countries like the Maldives, China and Pakistan. 🌊
