The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Indian Navy (IN) conducted the annual Singapore-India Maritime Bilateral Exercise (SIMBEX) from 24 Mar to 2 Apr.

Held in the South China Sea, this year's exercise saw the RSN deploy two missile corvettes, a frigate and a submarine, while the IN took part with two destroyers, a corvette and an oil tanker.

The exercise also involved maritime patrol aircraft from both countries which provided air surveillance, while fighter aircraft from the Republic of Singapore Air Force simulated aerial 'attacks'.

Established in 1994, SIMBEX started with anti-submarine warfare exercises, and has grown in scope and complexity to include advanced naval warfare exercises involving the air, surface and sub-surface dimensions.

In addition to SIMBEX, the longstanding bilateral ties between both navies are strengthened through regular exchange programmes, staff talks and courses.
