New Delhi, March 27 (NationPress) In a powerful demonstration of joint operational capability, the Indian Army conducted a highly effective and significant ‘Integrated Multi-Domain Exercise’ on Thursday.
This Tri-Service Integrated Multi-Domain Warfare Exercise took place in the Eastern Theatre, nestled in the high-altitude terrain of Arunachal Pradesh.
As reported by officials, the exercise, dubbed 'Exercise Prachand Prahaar', occurred from March 25 to 27. It united the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and various elements of the Indian Armed Forces in a synergized combat drill meant to replicate future warfare scenarios.
The exercise was conducted under the auspices of the Eastern Command, highlighting the seamless integration of advanced surveillance, strike capabilities, and multi-domain operational planning.
State-of-the-art platforms such as long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft, armed helicopters, UAVs, loitering munitions, and space-based assets were utilized to achieve comprehensive situational awareness and swift target engagement, according to officials.
Once simulated targets were identified, they were quickly neutralized through coordinated strikes employing fighter aircraft, long-range rocket systems, medium artillery, swarm drones, kamikaze drones, and armed helicopters—all executed in an electronically contested environment that mimicked modern battlefield conditions, officials noted.
Lieutenant General Ram Chander Tiwari, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Command, alongside Air Marshal Surat Singh, Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Air Command, reviewed the exercise and praised the troops for their operational excellence and high level of professionalism.
This integrated tri-service drill builds upon the momentum of 'Exercise Poorvi Prahar' held in November 2024, which primarily focused on the integrated application of aviation assets.
Exercise Prachand Prahaar has now advanced that concept by validating a fully integrated approach to surveillance, command and control, and precision firepower across the three services, officials stated.
The exercise serves as a testament to the Indian Armed Forces’ increasing focus on jointness, technological superiority, and readiness to confront multi-domain threats. It reinforces India’s commitment to deter and, if needed, decisively respond to any emerging security challenges along its strategic frontiers.
