Malabar drill to be held off Australia for the first time

India will be dispatching frontline warships as well as P-8I long-range maritime patrol aircraft for the forthcoming 27th edition of the Malabar exercise, which began as a bilateral endeavour between India and US in the 1990s and then formally included Japan as a regular participant in 2015 and finally Australia in 2020 to complete the Quad.
