A delegation of three UAE Navy officers, led by Colonel Dr. Ali Saif Ali Al Marzai, visited INSHansa in India on August 30th in order to familiarize themselves with the meteorological and oceanographic facilities of the Indian Navy, as a step towards establishing cooperation in these areas. This, according to a tweet by IN_GNA.
The tweet included a photo showing Indian officers presenting Israeli Rampage missiles that India purchased from Elbit for its Su-30MK aircraft. According to AdithyaKM_, India is establishing a testing facility for the missile in Goa.
