The Indian Navy joined CMF final November.
“I commend the crew of INS Talwar for his or her efforts all through this Centered Operation and their exhausting work has paid off with this seizure of 940 kg of medication,” stated Royal Canadian Navy Capt. Colin Matthews, Commander, Mixed Job Drive 150. “This seizure, the fourth of this Centered Operation, demonstrates the effectiveness and professionalism of CMF, and of the Indian Navy, in deterring and disrupting prison and terrorist actions at sea.”
Crimson Barracuda, which concluded on April 15, centered on countering terrorist and prison organizations’ use of the excessive seas to conduct smuggling operations within the Western Indian Ocean area.
