An Indian Navy P8I aircraft has reached France for 'Exercise Varuna' with the French Navy.
The 2024 edition of 'Exercise Varuna' is scheduled from September 2 to 4 in the Mediterranean Sea.
The exercise will feature advanced tactical drills, emphasizing the growing synergy and interoperability between the Indian and French navies.
This is the first-ever deployment of the Indian Navy's P8I aircraft in Europe.
The deployment comes 63 years after the Indian Navy's Alize aircraft last flew at the Hyeres Airbase from INS Vikrant.
INS Tabar, which arrived earlier in Toulon, will also participate in the exercise.
