Goa [India]: The Australian government said that a Royal Australian Air Force (RAFF) P-8A Poseidon aircraft has been deployed to India under a combined India-Australia maritime surveillance initiative.

P8A aircraft of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) arrived in Goa on June 6 to undertake coordinated operations with the P8I of the Indian Navy (IN) from June 7-9.

The P8I squadron INAS 316 at INS Hansa, Goa, will interact with and host the RAAF P8A aircraft. Both aircraft will undertake coordinated operations involving anti-submarine warfare and surface surveillance.

Previously, IN P8I aircraft had operated from Darwin, Australia, in April 2022 and undertaken coordinated ops with RAAF P8A in Northern Australian waters.

“India and Australia will conduct activities in the Indian Ocean Region to build operational maritime domain awareness, practise anti-submarine warfare manoeuvres and bolster military interoperability,” the Australian Defence ministry said in a statement.

“This builds upon the successful deployment of an Indian P-8I aircraft to Darwin in April this year, when India and Australia undertook coordinated maritime patrols in Northern Australia for the first time,” it added.

Deputy Chief of Joint Operations, Air Vice Marshal Michael Kitcher, said that this maritime surveillance activity paved the way for deeper and more sophisticated operational cooperation between India and Australia.

“India is one of our closest security partners and this activity demonstrates the strength of our bilateral defence relationship, the tangible value of our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and our shared commitment to an open, secure and prosperous Indo Pacific.”

“This is an important opportunity for Indian and Australian squadrons to enhance their tactical skills, conduct information-sharing exchanges and further strengthen combined capabilities.”

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India-Australia defence cooperation continued to expand during the year.

A ‘Joint Guidance for the Australia – India Navy to Navy Relationship’ was signed between the Indian Navy and Royal Australian Navy on August 18, 2021. Subsequently, the ‘Terms of Reference for the Conduct of Navy-to-Navy Talks’ was signed on September 29, 2021. (ANI)
