These naval warships are being deployed on various bases of the Air Force as per the instructions of PM Narendra Modi and the intention of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat.

PM Modi has instructed to establish mutual coordination between the three Army wings - Army, Navy, and Airforce.

The Indian Navy is playing an important role in monitoring the LAC amid ongoing deadlock with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China.
