India’s P-8I maritime patrol aircraft joined the Rim of the Pacific naval exercise in Hawaii, underscoring growing participation in multilateral drills.
RIMPAC is the world’s largest international maritime exercise, involving allies and partners across the Indo-Pacific. The P-8I, based on Boeing’s airframe, conducts anti-submarine warfare and surveillance.
India’s navy has expanded joint training as it counters Chinese naval presence in the Indian Ocean. Previous RIMPAC invitations signaled warming U.S.-India military cooperation.
The deployment complements India’s own MILAN exercises hosted in the Indian Ocean region.
