From Perth to Panaji: AUSTRAHIND 2025 Lessons Fuel Quad Maritime Drills

As AUSTRAHIND 2025 enters its final 48 hours in Perth, tactical data from Gorkha Rifles’ urban counter-terror simulations is being uploaded to Exercise Malabar’s maritime segment, set for November 10–18 off Goa.

The focus: ASW interoperability. INS Androth, commissioned last week, will lead shallow-water hunts with Australian Collins-class subs. Live BrahMos-NG test-firings from P-8I aircraft will validate Indonesia’s integration model.

The MoD’s H1 spending blitz enabled deployment of 200+ Akashteer units and 12 new sonar buoys along the western seaboard. The DAC’s November agenda may approve ₹22,000 crore for Quad-aligned sensors.

From land to sea, India’s alliances are forging an unbreakable chain.
