Indian Navy Commissions Second MH 60R Squadron INAS 335

The Indian Navy commissioned its second MH 60R helicopter squadron, INAS 335 (Ospreys) on 17 December 2025 at INS Hansa, Goa, in the presence of Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi. The advanced weapons, sensors and avionics suite make the helicopter a versatile and capable asset for the Indian Navy, offering enhanced capabilities to address conventional as well as asymmetric threats. The aircraft has been fully integrated with fleet operations and has proven its worth on numerous occasions. The Indian Navy will receive a significant fillip in its integral aviation capabilities with the commissioning of the squadron.
