VISAKHAPATNAM — India on Wednesday placed its expanding naval power on full display as it formally opened the International Fleet Review (IFR) 2026 off the coast of Visakhapatnam (Vizag), which The Jerusalem Post attended. The review marked the launching of a sequence of major maritime events that will bring more than 100 countries into contact with the Indian Navy over the coming weeks.

The fleet review, hosted by India’s Eastern Naval Command in the Bay of Bengal, was the first of three high-profile gatherings, followed by the multilateral MILAN 2026 naval exercise. The Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) Conclave of Chiefs also took place on Friday. The events are a show of India’s ambition to position itself as a central maritime power in the Indo-Pacific at a time of growing strategic competition and security challenges at sea.
