INS TARKASH and INS SUBHADRA have arrived in Saudi Arabia to participate in the AL MOHED AL HINDI 2023 naval exercise.
The exercise will involve the participation of naval forces from both countries and focus on joint operations and training.
This year, the naval exercise also includes the participation of a maritime patrol aircraft. The inaugural edition of the exercise was successfully conducted in 2021.
Commissioned on November 9, 2012, INS TARKASH is a state-of-the-art stealth frigate of the Talwar class.
The name of the ship, derived from the Sanskrit word 'Tarkash,' meaning "Quiver of Arrows," pays homage to its agility and versatility.
INS SUBHADRA is a patrol vessel of the Sukanya class.
This vessel has served as a test bed for the Dhanush ship-launched ballistic missile, as well as associated stabilization and launch platforms.
The exercise encompasses a series of exercises conducted on land and at sea by the two friendly navies.
