Exercise INDRA 2026 was a bilateral naval exercise between India and which country?
- A.China

Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Russia. INDRA is the bilateral naval exercise of the Indian Navy and the Russian Federation Navy, and the Ministry of Defence said the conclusion of the drill reaffirmed the enduring defence and maritime partnership between India and Russia. The Indian ship INS Sahyadri sailed from Vladivostok in the Russian Federation on 20 October 2026 once the exercise was over.

France in option B and Japan in option D are naval partners of India in other series, but neither is connected with INDRA, and neither is mentioned in the announcement on this exercise. Note also that the Russian navy is written as the Russian Federation Navy, shortened to RuFN, in the official statement, a form that examiners sometimes use in the options.
