Sea Dragon from INAS 315 "Winged Stallions" flying over Mumbai harbour for review by Smt. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil, President of India and Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces during President's Fleet Review 2011. Immediately followed by a Tu-142M, these LRMR/ASW aircraft work around the clock to guard India's vast coastline. INAS 315 was commissioned on 1 Oct. 1977 at Goa. From 2002 onward the Il-38s were upgraded to the Sea Dragon standard, capable of carrying Kh-35 anti-ship missiles.
