Summary

The Indian Navy's stealth frigate INS Trishul arrived in Toulon, France, on September 22, 2026, to participate in the 24th edition of Exercise VARUNA, the annual bilateral maritime exercise between the Indian and French navies. The exercise included harbour and sea phases with professional, sporting, and cultural engagements, as well as anti-submarine, anti-surface, and live-firing drills. Activities encompassed cross-deck visits, operational experience exchanges, and helicopter landing serials. A wreath-laying ceremony at the Mazargues War Memorial and visits to French Navy ships were also conducted. Following the exercise, INS Trishul proceeded to Valencia, Spain, as part of its ongoing deployment. The visit reaffirmed the strong maritime partnership and expanding defence cooperation between India and France.
