Indian Navy has carried out a six-day-long mega military exercise along with the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh.
The “largest” biennial tri-services amphibious exercise AMPHEX 2023 was conducted from January 17 to 22.
The exercise is to review the preparedness of the Indian Navy and the Army during the war, national calamities and coastal security enforcement.
The exercise is being conducted near the Naval Enclave at Suryaraopeta village in Kakinada rural Mandal off Kakinada coast.

The joint operations conducted during the exercise saw participation by a large number of troops from Indian Army, amphibious warships from Indian Navy and aircraft from the Indian Air Force.
