New Delhi: Exercise Konkan 2021 was held between INS Tabar and HMS Westminster in the English Channel recently. The exercise included the participation of integral helicopters of the two ships and the Falcon Electronic Warfare aircraft. A wide range of exercises, including co-ordinated anti-submarine procedures, firing drills, combined maritime picture compilation, combat formation manoeuvring and replenishment at sea were conducted.
These, along with the diverse professional engagements held earlier in harbour, have enabled Exercise Konkan 2021 to consolidate interoperability and helped cement the strong bonds of friendship between the two navies, a communique from the Navy read.
