The Indian Armed Forces’ Andaman and Nicobar Command has held a demonstration of its amphibious assault capabilities, including with a new landing craft type that has been built specifically for the formation.
The demonstration was held on 28 February at a ‘multi-dimensional’ military exercise at Swaraj Deep, an Andaman Sea-facing island that lies about 50 km northeast of Port Blair.
Assets that were deployed during the demonstration include 14 Indian Navy ships, two Indian Coast Guard fast attack craft, and six BMP mechanised infantry combat vehicles. Also participating in the exercise were 300 Indian Army troops.
