The Indian Navy is significantly enhancing its capabilities with the establishment of INS Jatayu on Minicoy Island in Lakshadweep. This new base will feature advanced radar systems, jetties, an airfield, and coastal batteries equipped with BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.
Additionally, new infrastructure and facilities were inaugurated at the Karwar naval base in Karnataka, including major piers and residential accommodations, enhancing the living conditions for officers and civilian defence personnel.
The inclusion of extended-range BrahMos missiles and new radar facilities at Minicoy is intended to improve India’s surveillance capabilities and provide a flexible response to threats.
