TROPEX-25 is a biennial large-scale military exercise conducted in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). It involves around 65 Indian Navy ships, 9 submarines, and over 80 aircraft, along with assets from the Indian Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard. The exercise focuses on validating the Indian Navy’s maritime operational strategies and enhancing joint operational readiness against various threats, including conventional, asymmetric, and hybrid threats. By conducting TROPEX-25 in the Indian Ocean, India ensures the protection of its maritime interests, strengthens fleet management capabilities, and refines its combat readiness in real-world maritime scenarios.
