Personnel from the Armed Forces of Malta’s Maritime Squadron took part in Naval Exercise COSMOS 2026 on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th November. The national naval exercise aimed to enhance operational readiness and strengthen Malta’s maritime capabilities.
Throughout the exercise, patrol vessels carried out a series of challenging training serials, testing the capabilities of both personnel and equipment across a range of maritime operations.
The exercise also involved a helicopter from the Armed Forces of Malta’s Air Wing, alongside an Italian helicopter, with both participating in hoist training as part of their ongoing training programme under BCP MT 15.
Exercises such as COSMOS 2026 provide valuable opportunities to enhance interoperability, strengthen coordination between military units and further develop the skills required to operate effectively in demanding maritime environments.
