In a powerful demonstration of India’s growing joint military capabilities, the Indian Army and Navy conducted a series of high-intensity exercises this week, highlighting operational readiness, tri-service synergy, and the ability to respond to evolving security challenges across diverse terrains.
The joint exercises by the Indian armed forces reflect its preparations to face a two-front war, a strategy that the military planners have been readying for over the last decade or more from India’s arch rivals China and Pakistan.
What did the Indian Army and Navy do under Trishul exercise?
Along India’s western seaboard, formations of the Sudarshan Chakra Corps under the Southern Command joined hands with the Indian Navy for a major Joint Amphibious Exercise under Exercise Trishul.
The exercise, which involved integrated planning, mobilisation, embarkation, and extensive rehearsals, tested multi-domain amphibious assault operations, synchronising land, sea, and air manoeuvres in a realistic combat environment.
What did the Trishul exercise validating?
According to the Southern Command, the objective was to validate integrated mission planning, operational readiness, and interoperability between the services.
“From shore to ship, and beyond the horizon, the mission underscores India’s resolve, Tri-Service integration, and readiness to secure national interests across multiple domains,” it said in a post on X.
What was attack helicopters exercise carried out in Arunachal Pradesh?
Simultaneously, in the forward areas of Arunachal Pradesh, the Indian Army’s Spear Corps conducted intense flying operations featuring its attack helicopters in coordination with infantry formations.
The high-altitude exercise demonstrated the formidable strike capability and all-weather readiness of these advanced platforms to operate both day and night, underscoring India’s enhanced preparedness along its sensitive borders with China in the north.
What is the message from these military exercises?
These coordinated drills come on the heels of Exercise Sudarshan Vayu Sanchar, held last month in the Desert Sector, where the Southern Command showcased joint air defence operations as part of the broader Trishul series.
Together, these exercises reflect India’s national vision of JAI — Jointness, Atmanirbharta, and Innovation — aimed at building a modern, integrated, and self-reliant defence architecture.
