A P8I aircraft of the Indian Navy is in Guam, USA to participate in ‘Exercise Sea Dragon 23’.
The third edition of the coordinated multi-lateral Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) exercise for Long Range MR ASW aircraft is being conducted by the US Navy from March 15-30.
Exercise Sea Dragon 23 will test the capabilities of participating aircraft in tracking simulated and live underwater targets, whilst also sharing mutual expertise.
The Exercise would witness representation by an Indian Navy P8I, along with P8A of the US Navy, P1 from the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force, CP 140 from the Royal Canadian Air Force and P3C from the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN).
P8I is a multi-mission, long-range maritime patrol aircraft produced by Boeing for the the Indian Navy. It took the place of the Indian Navy's ageing Tupolev Tu-142 fleet.
The P-8I plane is a variation of the US Navy's P-8A Poseidon multimission maritime aircraft (MMA).
