MH60R helicopter undertakes maiden landings on indigenously designed, constructed destroyer INS Kolkata

In a significant milestone for the Navy, MH60R helicopter has undertaken maiden landings on the indigenously designed and constructed destroyer, INS Kolkata, officials said on Friday. This achievement provides a major boost to the Navy's Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability, they said.

MH60R helicopter is a versatile platform known for its exceptional ASW, surveillance, anti-shipping, and search and rescue capabilities, a senior Navy official said.

Its integration with Indian Navy warships would further strengthen the Navy's capability to counter underwater threats, monitor maritime activities and conduct surveillance operations, the officials said.
