Pakistan’s armed forces regularly conduct joint exercises with foreign militaries to exchange professional expertise and strengthen combat readiness. In this regard, the Pakistan Navy and the Turkish Navy held their first bilateral amphibious exercise in August last year, marking a significant milestone in strengthening maritime collaboration and interoperability between the two friendly navies.
The exercise featured a comprehensive range of training activities, including combat firing techniques, amphibious operation drills, convoy escort procedures, and military operations in urban terrain.
Live firing drills and close combat scenarios were also conducted to sharpen tactical coordination and operational readiness in littoral environments. The exercise culminated in a comprehensive amphibious drill in a designated coastal area, validating the operational preparedness of both navies.
