At this event, the Spanish Navy demonstrated a sea and air beach assault<\/strong>, using Milpro SRMN 600 semi-rigid fast boats<\/strong> from the Amphibious Mobility Group (GRUMA), LCM-1E landing craft<\/strong> from the Naval Beach Group, and soldiers and VAMTAC vehicles from the Tercio de Armada (TEAR)<\/strong>, from the amphibious aircraft carrier \"Juan Carlos I\" L-61, which was in the waters of the Vigo Estuary.<\/p>\n

This assault was supported by air support from two EAV-8B+ Harrier II Plus<\/strong> fighters from the 9th Squadron, two SH-60B Seahawk<\/strong> anti-submarine helicopters from the 10th Squadron, and two H135 P3H Nival<\/strong> light helicopters from the 12th Squadron. Two years ago, the Spanish Navy conducted a demonstration landing on the same beach<\/a>, but with fewer aircraft.<\/p>\n
