IAF in a twitter post stated “Tomorrow, a contingent from the IAF will fly to Hyakuri Air Base in Japan for the inaugural Exercise Veer Guardian 2023, which will be held there alongside the Japan Air Self Defense Force from January 12 to January 26. Four Su-30 MKI, two C-17 Globemaster, and an IL-78 tanker from the IAF will participate.”

This is more than a month after the multilateral exercise Malabar, which was held at Yokosuka, Japan from November 8 to 15, and had the participation of India, the United States, Japan, and Australia.

Prior to it, in September 2022, six Indian ships, a submarine, and P8I, Mig-29K, and Dornier planes took part in the JIMEX 22 bilateral exercise with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) ships Izumo and Takanami close to Visakhapatnam.

For the 20th High-Level Meeting between the Indian Coast Guard and the Japanese Coast Guard, a team from the Indian Coast Guard led by the Director General visited Tokyo, Japan in the same month.
