KONKAN SHAKTI

Oct. 23, 2021

The UK and India will launch their biggest joint military exercise, Konkan Shakti, with the re-entry of UK's Carrier Strike Group (CSG) into the western Indian Ocean waters.

About:

  • The CSG, with HMS Queen Elizabeth—its new aircraft carrier as the flagship—has been on deployment all summer in the Indo-Pacific waters.

  • Konkan Shakti is the first triservice exercise between the two nations.

  • Another army exercise, Ajeya Warrior is ongoing in Uttarakhand where around 120 British soldiers are participating. The two navies had engaged in naval war games during a two-day passage exercise (Passex) in the Bay of Bengal in July during the onward leg of the CSG's deployment.
