<p>The Quad Summit in Sydney has been cancelled, but the powerful navies of the United States, India, Australia, and Japan will participate in advanced Malabar 2023 exercises off Australia's east coast from August 11 to 22 this year, practising interoperability, sea deterrence, and sea denial in order to ensure freedom of navigation in the Indo-Pacific.</p>

<p>The complex drills will involve both maritime and harbour stages, with senior Quad navies commanders addressing the Indo-Pacific.</p>

<h2><strong>Indian Navy to&nbsp;participate</strong></h2>

<p>The Indian Navy will participate in Malabar 2023 with its top-of-the-line destroyers, P 8 I anti-submarine warfare planes, and a submarine, owing&nbsp;to a logistical deal with all three Quad&nbsp;partners. Japan was appointed a permanent partner in 2015, and Australia will join the Quad in 2020, as reported by the Hindustan Times.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Focus of the naval exercise</strong></h2>

<p>The main focus of the naval drill, according to authorities citied by the Hindustan Times,&nbsp;would be anti-submarine warfare operations, with the PLA Navy becoming belligerent in the Indo-Pacific after claiming claims to the whole South China Sea, much to the dismay of ASEAN countries like the Philippines and Indonesia in particular.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Beijing's strategic objective is to control the far Pacific with its warships and submarines traversing the first and second chain of islands off its eastern coastline, with the PLA Navy quickly developing its nuclear-powered conventional armed submarines. The PLA has also constructed conventional DF-21 missile parks on its eastern coast to dissuade the formidable US Navy from operating in the South China Sea, and has threatened to employ DF-26 missiles to attack US naval and military sites on Guam.</p>

<p>The India-US military exercise programme was also reviewed on Wednesday at the 17th meeting of the bilateral defence policy group, with both sides reaffirming their commitment to improving collaboration and interoperability between the two forces to operate together in all domains and services.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The DPG was co-chaired by Indian Defence Secretary Giridhar Aramane and Dr Colin Kahl, US Under Secretary for Policy at the Pentagon. The officials are said to have discussed common interests in the Indian Ocean region as well as aligning the bilateral cooperation with other like-minded partnerships to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific. The DPG promoted an ambitious agenda that included economic cooperation, marine security, and technology collaboration, reflecting the two natural allies' strong and comprehensive relations.&nbsp;</p>

WION Dispatch: INS Vikramaditya monitors Pak-China naval drill

<p>Iran is to launch a three-day annual navy drill from Friday in a vast area of the Gulf and the Indian Ocean including a sensitive global shipping route, state TV reported on Thursday.</p>

<p>"The drill will be held in the waters of Strait of Hormuz, Makran coast, Oman Sea and the north of the Indian Ocean, covering 2 million square kilometres and going on for three days," said Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, Iran's navy commander.</p>

<p>The exercise aims to evaluate the navy's equipment, practice launching weapons and "enable the troops to gain readiness for a real battle," he added.</p>

<p>The strait at the mouth of the Gulf is crucial to global energy supplies, with about a third of the world's seaborne oil passing through it every day.</p>

<p>The show of military might comes at a time of heightened tensions with Iran's main regional rival Saudi Arabia and with Washington, which last year withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic.</p>

<p>The Strait of Hormuz is an international transit route where American forces routinely pass and which has seen tense encounters between them and Iranian forces in the past.</p>

<p>Dubbed as "Velayat 97," the drill will showcase Iran's submarines, warships, helicopters and drones, according to the admiral.</p>

<p>The exercise will also include missile launches from the vessels, Khanzadi added.<br />

Iran is to launch a three-day annual navy drill from Friday in a vast area of the Gulf and the Indian Ocean including a sensitive global shipping route, state TV reported on Thursday. "The drill will be held in the waters of Strait of Hormuz, Makran coast, Oman Sea and the north of the Indian Ocean, covering 2 million square kilometres and going on for three days," said Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, Iran's navy commander. The exercise aims to evaluate the navy's equipment, practice launching weapons and "enable the troops to gain readiness for a real battle," he added. The strait at the mouth of the Gulf is crucial to global energy supplies, with about a third of the world's seaborne oil passing through it every day. The show of military might comes at a time of heightened tensions with Iran's main regional rival Saudi Arabia and with Washington, which last year withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic. The Strait of Hormuz is an international transit route where American forces routinely pass and which has seen tense encounters between them and Iranian forces in the past. Dubbed as "Velayat 97," the drill will showcase Iran's submarines, warships, helicopters and drones, according to the admiral. The exercise will also include missile launches from the vessels, Khanzadi added.
