| Submission declined on 16 January 2024 by Ca (talk). While the news pieces give some basic details about this military venture, I don't think there is enough content to write a whole article about this topic. I recommend incorporating the text to India–United Arab Emirates relations, where a better context may be provided. If you can find more info, then feel free to resubmit!
I also see some tone issues. For example, the significance section contains promotional opinions rather than facts.
