The exercises are being held in the waters of the Gulf of Oman and the northern part of the Indian Ocean. During the maneuvers, the military will practice safeguarding shipping routes, combating piracy, and coordinating joint operations. The drills involve missile destroyers, frigates, auxiliary ships, and naval aviation.
Objectives of the Exercises:
- Strengthening naval cooperation between Russia, China, and Iran.
