The Indian Army successfully validated its new battle architecture during the high-altitude exercise Poorvi Prachand Prahar in Arunachal Pradesh, following recent operational reforms prompted by border tensions with Pakistan. Key innovations included the integration of the Bhairav Battalion, Divyastra artillery batteries, and Ashni infantry platoons, enhancing multi-domain coordination and tri-service interoperability. These units employed advanced technologies such as loitering munitions and night-capable drones for precision strikes and real-time surveillance, marking a significant improvement in operational readiness against emerging threats. This exercise underscores the Army’s commitment to adapting its strategies for effective high-altitude operations, reinforcing India’s defensive capabilities along its northern borders.
