INS Sindhukesari has become the first Indian submarine to dock in Indonesia.
The 3,000-tonne conventional diesel-electric submarine made its way to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta to dock after traversing through the nearby Sunda Strait.
The exercise was part of INS Sindhukesari’s first operational turnaround.
In a bid to strengthen bilateral ties, the Indonesian Navy warmly welcomes the arrival of the Indian submarine INS Shindukesari in Jakarta,” the Indonesian Navy tweeted.
It was designed as part of Project 877 and built under a contract between Rosvooruzhenie, Russia, and the Ministry of Defence, India.
