Conducted in two phases \u2014 a shore phase (15\u201320 Sep 2025) and a sea phase (21\u201325 Sep 2025) \u2014 the exercise was aimed at enhancing coordination and interoperability in submarine rescue. Three rescue units embarked on Mother Ships \u2014&nbsp;<strong>MV Swift Rescue (RSN), JS Chiyoda (Japan)<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>INS Nistar<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 operated alongside the submarines from the Republic of Korea Navy, Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF) and Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), simulating as Disabled Submarines (DISSUBs).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the shore phase, professional exchanges and an international medical symposium allowed India to present its Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) system philosophy and post-rescue medical preparedness. The sea phase in the South China Sea witnessed landmark achievements. On 23 Sep 2025, the Indian DSRV Tiger X undertook its&nbsp;<strong>maiden dive outside the Indian Ocean Region, achieving a historic first mating<\/strong>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<strong>ROK Navy\u2019s Submarine Shin Dol-SeokS-082)<\/strong>. The Indian DSRV achieved another milestone by mating with RSN\u2019s submarine RSS Invincible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The culminating event on 25 Sep 2025 featured a coordinated rescue drill led by the RSN \u2014 the first three-asset (R3) rescue in Pacific Reach history. INS Nistar spearheaded operations, localising and surveying the datum&nbsp; passing requisite information to MV Swift Rescue and JS Chiyoda. With RSS Invincible simulating the distressed submarine, India\u2019s ROV and Indian Navy DSRV were deployed in rapid succession, achieving mating within one hour of the dive. The performance highlighted the Indian Navy\u2019s exceptional proficiency and contributed substantially to the successful conduct of the multinational coordinated R3 rescue &#8211; a first for Exercise Pacific series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>XPR-25 marked a watershed moment in India\u2019s submarine rescue journey, with the Indian DSRV\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>maiden foreign submarine matings<\/strong>&nbsp;and participation in a multinational coordinated rescue drill reinforcing India\u2019s capability and commitment to global submarine safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oct 2025 : The Indian Navy\u2019s Submarine Rescue Unit (East), embarked on INS Nistar, showcased precision and professionalism at XPR-25, hosted by the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN).
