Malabar 2020

Seen as the coming together of four navies against growing hegemonistic tendencies of China in oceans, a senior commander of the Indian Navy on Saturday said the Malabar-2020 wargames have shown an "extraordinary degree of interoperability" among the four participating forces.

The second phase of the four-nation Malabar Exercise - naval war games featuring India, the United States, Japan and Australia - saw Indian MiG-29K and American F18 fighter jets carry out simulated attacks and coordinated firing on a surface target

The navies of Australia, India, Japan, and the US will hold phase II of Malabar 2020 in the Northern Arabian Sea on November 17-20. This part will involve operations of increasing complexity, building on the synergies achieved in phase I, a government release said today.

A weapon-firing sequence was performed on Day 3 of the four-nation naval war games "Malabar 2020" in the Bay of Bengal, off Visakhapatnam.

The US embassy in India today tweeted to announce the beginning of the four-nation naval war games "Malabar 2020" in the Bay of Bengal as its "commitment to stronger defence cooperation in the Indo Pacific".

India, US, Japan, and Australia will come together to participate in a joint military exercise, Malabar 2020, which begins on Tuesday in the Bay of Bengal and will be carried out in two phases this month.

China today said it has "taken note" of India's announcement that Australia will join the annual Malabar naval exercises along with the US and Japan, underlining that military cooperation should be "conducive" to regional peace and stability.

Australia will join three-way naval exercises involving the United States, Japan and India, in a move that could provoke concern from China, which has criticised similar joint drills in the past.

India's decision to extend an invitation to the Australian Navy to be a part of this year's Malabar Naval exercises isn't just about making a strong diplomatic statement to Beijing.

Australia will participate in the Malabar naval exercise next month involving India, the US and Japan that will bring the four key defence partners and democracies in the region together, demonstrating their collective resolve to support an open and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

With India considering an invitation to Australia to join the next Malabar naval exercise, a top US diplomat has said that Canberra's participation in the drill along with the other three Quad members will be hugely beneficial to reinforcing behaviours that are going to be necessary for them to defend their mutual interests.
