Nearly six months after Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces have launched Exercise Trishul — a large-scale, 10–12-day tri-service drill taking place along the Western border with Pakistan in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The exercise began today.
As reported by the media, military officials said that this exercise is being held to send a clear message to Pakistan — India is ready to defend its territory and is prepared to resume military operations, if required, from where 'Operation Sindoor' concluded in May.
The Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy have come together for the exercise on the Pakistan border.
From Sukhoi-30, Rafale to the indigenous Prachand attack helicopter in the drill -
Special Forces commandos, missile batteries, warships, battle tanks, and attack aircraft, including the Rafale and the Sukhoi Su-30, are carrying out simulated offensive strikes into southern Pakistan — as part of the ‘Trishul’ exercise.
The drill also involves the indigenously designed and manufactured Prachand attack helicopter. The Indian Army has also deployed its T-90 battle tanks and powerful BrahMos missile units. They have also sent the Akash missile defence system units, which were the ones that successfully shot down the missiles and drones Pakistan launched during 'Operation Sindoor'.
