IAF to hold major military exercise in northeast from November 13-20 for enhanced readiness.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is conducting a significant military exercise in northeast India from November 13 to 20, involving advanced fighter aircraft and air defense units to enhance deployment readiness along borders with China, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. This drill comes at a crucial time, as Bangladesh’s interim leadership has adopted an increasingly anti-India stance, raising security concerns over the Siliguri Corridor. Concurrently, India is engaged in Exercise Trishul 2025 along its western border with Pakistan, which aims to bolster tri-service coordination and combat readiness, showcasing military assets like Rafale jets and BrahMos missiles. These exercises underscore India’s strategic focus on regional stability and defense cooperation amidst escalating geopolitical challenges.
