ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Türkiye’s navies concluded their first-ever bilateral amphibious exercise in the port city of Karachi, aimed at enhancing “maritime collaboration and interoperability,” state media reported on Wednesday.
A naval amphibious exercise is a military drill that simulates the landing of troops from ships onto a coastline, designed to strengthen coordination and combat readiness for assaults, evacuations or disaster response operations.
The exercise featured combat firing techniques, amphibious operation drills, convoy escorting drills along with military operations in urban terrain.
“Live firing drills and close combat scenarios designed to sharpen tactical coordination and readiness in littoral environments were also a part of the exercise,” the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) said in its report.
“The exercise culminated with a comprehensive amphibious drill in the designated coastal area validating operational readiness of both navies.”
