Ships of the Russian Navy and the Indian Navy completed tasks in the Bay of Bengal as part of the Indra Navy-2025 joint naval exercise.
Over the past three days, sailors of the two friendly nations practised tactical manoeuvres as part of joint formations, improved practical skills in fighting against unmanned aerial vehicles and uncrewed enemy boats, and conducted artillery firing at sea- and air-based targets.
During the exercise, crews also practised escorting a ship and organising repositioning on-board from the Pechenga tanker.
At phases of the exercise, deck-based helicopters of naval aviation were involved. A Russian Ka-27M helicopter landed on the Indian destroyer Rana, and an Indian Chetak helicopter crew landed on the deck of a Russian corvette.
The Russian side was represented by corvettes Rezky, Aldar Tsydenzhapov, and the medium-sized sea tanker Pechenga of the Pacific Fleet. India was represented by the destroyer Rana and the corvette Kutar.
At present, ships from the two countries returned to the Indian port of Chennai to summarise the results of joint actions at sea and hold the official closing ceremony.
