Indian Navy to Commission Second MH-60R Helicopter Squadron at Goa

INAS 335 will enhance Indian Navy's maritime reach and operational readiness with advanced MH-60R Seahawks, part of a $2.4 billion deal for 24 helicopters from the US.

  • At INS Hansa in Goa on December 17, the Indian Navy will commission its second MH-60R squadron, INAS 335 , with Adm Dinesh K. Tripathi present.
  • The move follows the March 6 raising of INAS 334 at INS Garuda, Kochi last year to strengthen blue-water capabilities and support the Navy's modernisation drive.
  • The Seahawk's sensors and avionics, configured for multiple roles, the Indian Navy said, 'The aircraft has been fully integrated with fleet operations and has proven its worth on numerous occasions.'
  • The commissioning will boost the Indian Navy's integral aviation capabilities and operational readiness, while deployment across the Indian Ocean Region will reinforce maritime presence and deter potential threats.
  • With a $2.4 deal, India signed for 24 Seahawks, and the Navy has received 15 so far, replacing Sea King 42/42A helicopters on frontline ships.
