New Delhi, Nov 13 (NationPress) The Eastern Command of the Indian Army, in collaboration with the Indian Air Force, is executing an integrated multi-domain exercise in the challenging high-altitude terrain of the Himalayas in Arunachal Pradesh.

This exercise, which commenced on November 10, features the deployment of advanced surveillance technologies, including helicopters and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), alongside space resources and Special Forces to establish a comprehensive domain awareness and identify simulated targets.

The exercise is expected to continue until November 15.

According to the PRO Defence, "Once identified, these targets will be rapidly neutralized through the coordinated joint firepower of long-range rocket systems, medium artillery, armed helicopters, swarm drones, loitering munitions, and kamikaze drones in a digitally contested environment."

On November 13, Lieutenant General Abhijit S Pendharkar, General Officer Commanding 3 Corps, reviewed the exercise, praising the seamless collaboration and operational readiness of the participating formations.

This operation is a follow-up to Exercise Poorvi Prahar conducted in November 2024 and Exercise Prachand Prahar held on March 25, which emphasized the integrated use of aviation assets.

Exercise Poorvi Prachand Prahaar aims to validate integrated planning, command and control, and the smooth execution of surveillance and firepower platforms across all three services, addressing the full spectrum of conflict.

This highlights the Armed Forces' steadfast commitment to joint operations, precision, and technological superiority, strengthening their ability to conduct multi-domain operations with unmatched synergy, thus ensuring India’s readiness to deter and effectively respond to any emerging threats along its strategic borders.

Moreover, the Indian Security Forces initiated the Tri-service Exercise Trishul on November 3, which involved essential assets from the Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and Indian Army.

Defence officials reported that this exercise encompassed 20-25 surface and subsurface assets, including amphibious platforms from the Indian Navy, over 40 aircraft with their associated ground-based assets from the IAF, more than 30,000 personnel, and equipment from the Indian Army along with indigenous weapon systems across all services from November 3-7 during this pivotal Tri-Service Exercise that spanned Rajasthan, Gujarat, and the North Arabian Sea.
