The two-week-long mega tri-service exercise TRISHUL culminates on Thursday. The Commanders of the Indian Armed Forces termed the mega drill setting new benchmarks in jointness and interoperability, saying, "we go back much stronger out of it".
The exercise will draw to a close after the culmination of a final amphibian exercise, Amphex 2025, currently underway at Madhavpur Beach off the Saurashtra Coast in Gujarat. Multiple sub-exercises were also conducted under EX-TRISHUL.
Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Command; Vice-Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, and Air Marshal Nagesh Kapoor, Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, South Western Air Command, interacted with the media before the Amphex 2025 began.
New weapons, military equipment, and procedures were tested, and the Exercise Trishul operation validated them, Lt Gen Dhiraj Seth said in conversation with the media.
"We are ready to face all future challenges," the GOC-in-C of the Southern Command said.
About 30,000 Army troops, multiple fighter aircraft, and nearly 25 ships and submarines of the Navy took part in the exercise, according to Vice Admiral Swaminathan.
"We've practised battle manoeuvres, including with a Carrier Battle Group. And aircraft carrier INS Vikrant was part of it," he said.
"We go back much stronger from Exercise Trishul," the chief of Western Naval Command said.
