Navy successfully concludes SINKEX-25 exercise reinforcing its combat capability

During two high-intensity days, naval, air and submarine units were trained in the actual use of weapons to consolidate their operational readiness.

The Spanish Navy has concluded the SINKEX-25 advanced weapons launching exercise, which took place on June 15 and 16. This operation has been key to evaluate and perfect the training of naval, air and submarine forces in the use of weapons systems in realistic combat scenarios.

Comprehensive and joint training

The exercise counted with the participation of outstanding surface units such as the frigate "Blas de Lezo", the aircraft carrier "Juan Carlos I", the frigates "Álvaro de Bazán" and "Santa María", the amphibious assault ship "Castilla" and the submarine S-81 "Isaac Peral". In addition, Air and Space Army resources were integrated, completing a joint and inter-armed training.

Thanks to this collaboration, advanced firing practices, tactical maneuvers and combat simulations were achieved in a demanding environment, reinforcing interoperability between the different defense platforms.

The S-81 "Isaac Peral", protagonist in the training session

One of the most relevant actions of the exercise was the participation of the submarine S-81 "Isaac Peral", which carried out torpedo launches as part of its training and weapons systems evaluation phase. This operation reinforces its integration in the fleet as a strategic unit of submarine deterrence and surveillance.

Commitment to deterrence and collective defense

SINKEX-25 has demonstrated the high degree of readiness and availability of the Armed Forces, projecting a message of deterrence and reaffirming Spain's commitment to global security, collective defense and compliance with international law.
