At the Navy Day 2024 celebrations on December 4, 2024, at Blue Flag Beach in Puri, Odisha, the Indian Navy displayed its impressive capabilities. Because it commemorated the anniversary of Operation Trident, a crucial naval operation that targeted Karachi harbor during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, this year’s celebration was especially noteworthy.
The Indian Navy used MH-60R helicopters, MiG-29K fighter planes, and 15 warships in a comprehensive operational exercise. In this demonstration, the Navy’s ability to defend national interests “anytime, anywhere, anyhow” was shown.
Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, President Droupadi Murmu, and other government officials attended the occasion. It was used to showcase the Navy’s present capabilities and dedication to national security in addition to commemorating previous successes.
