HMS Elizabeth is stationed on the Iraq-Syria border
The UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth Carrier Strike Group will participate in a full spectrum exercise with the Indian Navy to crack down on China in the Indo-Pacific region. This war exercise will be conducted in the Bay of West Bengal in July next month under the Konkan War Games. During this, the UK will deploy its first 65 thousand ton warship in the South China Sea.
India and the UK have decided to cooperate military in the Indo-Pacific to ensure 'Freedom of Navigation' in the South China Sea. Earlier, the Indian Navy exercised with the USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group off the Goa coast on 23-24 June. The reason for this was the return of the Nimitz-class warship before its operational deployment to the South China Sea.
