New Delhi: The Indian military's two-week exercise Trishul, which began on October 30, is showcasing its operational readiness and synergy among the three services across the western sector and the Arabian Sea. The exercise, set to conclude next week, will feature large-scale amphibious drills off the Saurashtra coast. The exercise involves tens of thousands of soldiers, fighter jets, warships, submarines, tanks, and artillery guns, among other equipment. The drills are being conducted in various locations, including Rajasthan, Gujarat, and the Arabian Sea. One of the key components of the exercise is a joint operation in the Kutch sector, which includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Border Security Force. The exercise aims to validate combined arms operations, mobility, and joint fire integration under realistic conditions. This is the first major military exercise since the four-day confrontation with Pakistan in May, following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The exercise demonstrates the Indian military's commitment to transformation through rigorous training and operational validation. The final phase of the exercise will feature amphibious drills, showcasing the military's ability to project power across multiple domains. The exercise area covers the Sir Creek sector, a disputed maritime strip separating Gujarat from Pakistan's Sindh province. The Indian military's response to any potential threats in this area has been emphasized by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who warned Islamabad of an overwhelming response if it attempted any mischief in the Sir Creek sector. Exercise Trishul reflects the Indian military's preparedness to dominate both virtual and physical domains through seamless land, sea, and air integration for coordinated action. The exercise is a testament to the military's ability to project power and respond to emerging threats in the region.
