Incorrect Answer South Africa
Incorrect AnswerBangladesh
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Let’s break this down. India gifted a ‘Made in India’ patrol vessel called ‘KAAMIYAAB’ to the Maldives.
- Here’s why: Maldives has strong defence cooperation with India. Patrol vessels boost their coast guard’s capacity, especially for maritime security.
- Sri Lanka also gets military hardware from India, but ‘KAAMIYAAB’ was for Maldives.
- South Africa isn’t in the picture for this particular vessel.
- Bangladesh has received other vessels and hardware, but not ‘KAAMIYAAB.’
The correct answer is option 2 - Maldives.
