Defence Minister Rajnath Singh fired medium machine gun on-board INS Vikramaditya on Sunday.
The Indian Navy is ready to defend the country against all threats, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said while addressing the personnel of Western Fleet, during his "day at sea" onboard INS Vikramaditya off the Goa coast on Sunday.
"I am most impressed to see the professionalism, commitment and spirited approach shown by the brave sailors of the Indian Navy. I am reassured that the security of our nation is in safe hands," he said after witnessing the prowess and fire power of the Western Fleet first hand.
Emphasising that India's security relies a lot on being strong at sea, the Defence Minister said that the Navy's Mission Based Deployments at critical regions of the Indian Ocean have strengthened the maritime security environment in the region.
He also commended the Western Fleet which was immediately deployed in a strong posture in the northern Arabian Sea when the government effectively responded to the Pulwama attacks through strikes on terror camps in Balakot.
