As part of its ongoing Long Range Op Deployment, INS Kadmatt arrived in Manila, Philippines on Tuesday, furthering maritime cooperation between India and the Philippines.
During the port call, a series of engagements, including professional interactions, subject matter expert exchanges, and cross-deck visits, took place to enhance collaboration between the naval personnel of both nations.
Following its departure from Manila, INS Kadmatt participated in a maritime partnership exercise in the South China Sea alongside BRP Ramon Alcaraz, an offshore patrol vessel of the Philippine Navy.
INS Kadmatt, an indigenously designed and built anti-submarine warfare corvette, is equipped with a state-of-the-art anti-submarine weapon suite.
Earlier, on December 2, INS Kadmatt embarked on a long range operational deployment to the North Pacific Ocean, reaching Yokosuka, Japan, for an operational turnaround (OTR).
