India and the United States launched their annual military exercise, "Yudh Abhyas," in the northern Indian states of Uttarakhand and Rajasthan on Tuesday. The opening ceremony took place in Uttarakhand, as announced by the Indian Defence Ministry. Six hundred military personnel from each country are taking part in the exercise, which is being simultaneously conducted in both states.
The primary objective of the "Yudh Abhyas" is to enhance the joint military capabilities of both armies for operations in mountainous and semi-mountainous terrains, with a focus on infantry-led activities. The Indian Defence Ministry emphasized that the exercise aims to strengthen interoperability, facilitate the exchange of best operational practices, and improve joint planning and execution.
A key focus area for this year's exercise will be the infusion of technology. This will include training on the use of drones and autonomous systems for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes. Additionally, a demonstration of contemporary weapon systems is planned to be conducted at Mahajan field firing ranges.
