When the Indian Navy arrived in the Philippines, it is not difficult for us to understand that its purpose is to cheer up the Philippines and support the Philippines in practical actions: My frigates have sailed to the South China Sea to support the Philippines, and we have also taken practical actions to support the interests of the Philippines in Ren'ai Jiao.

The Indian Navy frigate INS Kadmatt has just arrived in the Philippines, and the Philippine Navy has held a welcoming ceremony for it, for the Philippines, this is another ally or partner to support the interests of the Philippines in Ren'ai Jiao, from a strategic point of view, India is implementing a containment strategy, using the dispute between the Philippines and us, to provide military assistance to the Philippines, in order to achieve the goal of containing our side.
Interpretation of the picture: The Indian Navy frigate INS Kadmatt focuses on anti-submarine
The Indian Navy has also interacted with the Philippines from time to time in the past, including sending their ship formations into the South China Sea, and the Indian Navy does not have any maritime rights and interests in the region, but in view of the disputes between the Philippines, Vietnam and China over islands, India has purely taken a fancy to this and has relatively close contacts with the Philippines.
It can be said that India and the Philippines have a relationship that cannot be fought by eight poles, and there was no deep intersection in the past, and it is precisely because the Philippines has become the forefront of the US camp against our side that India has begun to get closer to the Philippines. Therefore, the arrival of the Indian Navy in the Philippines can be understood as a provocation against us.

In addition to this aspect, there is a key reason. We know that the United States, Japan, India, and Australia have formed an alliance called the Quad Alliance, and in the Quad Alliance, India's position is to cooperate with the United States when needed and use India's geographical advantages to create trouble for us.
The scenario envisaged by the United States is that if there is a large-scale naval and air conflict with us in the western Pacific, then India will need to create trouble for us in the southwest direction at this time to cooperate with or respond to the US military in the western Pacific.
From a strategic point of view, India's position in the Quad Alliance is very important, and the role of the United States, Japan, and Australia is to launch a conflict with us head-on at the first time, so India's role is to cooperate with the strategy of the United States, Japan, and Australia at the appropriate time to launch a war against us from the southwest, forming a situation of being flanked from both sides.

In other words, India's strategic role is relatively insidious, the United States, Japan, and Australia are clearly confronting you head-on, and India is giving you a shadow in the rear, and India's strategic position in the four-nation alliance is very clear, that is, to cooperate with the US military when needed. Everyone, the key word here is "need".
Because it is also possible that there is a conflict in the western Pacific, India will take the cat first at this time, and when our main forces are concentrated in the southeast, India will give you another time at this time. Therefore, India is acting at the opportunistic opportunity, and when the United States needs it, it will come to you, which is very threatening.
Picture interpretation: The Indian Navy is also very close to Vietnam, which is part of India's containment strategy against China
It is not difficult for us to understand the Indian Navy's arrival in the Philippines this time, and its purpose is to cheer up the Philippines and support the Philippines in practical actions: My frigates have sailed to the South China Sea to support the Philippines, and they have also taken practical actions to support the interests of the Philippines in Ren'ai Jiao. It is undoubtedly a provocation to show that India will not sit idly by and watch the dispute over the Spratly Islands.
