INS Vikrant Arrives In Vizag For IFR

The nation’s mightiest naval ship and first indigenously built aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, arrived here in the early hours of Monday. It was anchored about 12 nautical miles from the city shores. 

The vessel, which played a vital role in Operation Sindoor, would be the main attraction at the international fleet review and the MILAN 26 scheduled for



February Wednesday and Friday.

Vikrant played a deterrent role in Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2025, by leading a 36-ship powerful naval strike group in the northern segment of the Arabian Sea.

Positioned near Karachi, the carrier-led strike-force put Pakistan on the defensive, and prevented escalation of the military confrontation.
